Purpose:
To compare autograft and allograft labral reconstruction outcomes through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Summary:
Labral reconstruction using autograft or allograft tissue produces comparable improvements in most functional and pain outcomes. Use of allograft was associated with significantly higher mental health improvements
Key Takeaways:
• This study aggregates the comparative literature on autograft versus allograft in hip labral reconstruction.
• It is useful for moving beyond anecdotal preference and toward a more evidence-based graft-source discussion.
• The paper strengthens hip-preservation content by showing how reconstructive decisions can be guided by pooled data rather than isolated series.
