Abstract

Intraoperative suture anchor failure is a seemingly unavoidable event during hip arthroscopy and it can happen to the best of us. To date, biomechanical cadaveric studies saturate hip anchor failure literature with only one known, published in vivo investigation. We now know that intraoperative anchor failure is an uncommon occurrence that does not significantly vary between basic population demographics. However, we have only been provided with foundational knowledge, and our community must continue to expand upon the basics.
