The suction seal effect has been shown to provide stability within the hip, improve biomechanics, and decrease the chance for long-term development of osteoarthritis by optimizing function and force distribution within the hip. Femoral acetabular impingement syndrome damages the labrum and chondrolabral junction, thus negatively impacting the ability of the labrum to maintain native suction seal. Our technique describes the use of a postless hip arthroscopy table and the on-off traction technique throughout the labral repair, ensuring precise reduction of the labrum and restoration of the suction seal sequentially as anchors are placed.<p> Maximizing the benefits of postless hip arthroscopy: on-off traction technique during labral repair to restore the labral suction seal document-rn36841 Orthopedics
