Abstract
The acetabular labrum serves many integral functions within the hip joint. As a result, novel surgical techniques that aim to preserve or reconstruct the labrum have entered the spotlight. We have performed labral reconstruction using the quadriceps tendon as an autograft for a patient with a moderate labral defect. The purpose of this report is to propose this novel donor site as a viable alternative for labral reconstruction using an autograft; the potential benefits over currently popular methods are discussed.
