4.76-year-old female had a recent mammographic and ultrasound abnormality in the 6 o’clock position of the left breast. She underwent core biopsies which showed the presence of a papilloma. The plan now is for needle localization with excisional biopsy to rule out occult malignancy. After undergoing preoperative needle localization with hook wire needle injection with methylene blue, the patient was brought to the operating room and was placed on the operating room table in the supine position where she underwent laryngeal mask airway (LMA) anesthesia. The left breast was prepped and draped in a sterile fashion. A radial incision was then made in the 6 o’clock position of the left breast corresponding to the tip of the needle localizing wire. Using blunt and sharp dissection, we performed a generous excisional biopsy around the needle localizing wire including all of the methylene blue-stained tissues. The specimen was then submitted for radiologic confirmation followed by permanent section pathology. Once hemostasis was assured, digital palpation of the depths of the wound field failed to reveal any other palpable abnormalities. At this point, the wound was closed in 2 layers with 3-0 Vicryland 5-0 Monocryl. Steri-Strips were applied. Local anesthetic was infiltrated for postoperative analgesia.

99. pre-op Diagnosis: Left hip recurrent acetabular labral tear
post-op Diagnosis: Same
Procedure: Left hip acetabular labral reconstruction using semi tendinosis allograft 6 mm in diameter
Revision cam resection or femoral osteoplastyImplants: Five cinch lock anchors and NanoTack anchor from Stryker
Anesthesia Type: GETA and regional (Fascia iliacus block)
Estimated blood loss (mL): 20
Findings: Recurrent tear Of the superior labrum. Normal articular cartilage and no significant weave sign orbubble in the articular cartilage Of the acetabulum. Small amount Of wear on the superior aspect Of the femoral head where there was some recurrent impingement from the acetabulum.
Tourniquet Time: Traction time was 2:00 a.m. and 10 minutes
Indication and consent: Jamie is a A1-year-old female with significant pain and dysfunction to her left hipshe had failed conservative measures and initially did quite well after her labral repair but that was over 5years ago and recently over the last year to it has been bothering her more. She had a another MRI whichrevealed a recurrent labral tear and so we discussed surgical intervention and she wanted to proceed we didso her request knowing full well risks benefits possible complications associated with the surgery. We proceeded her request and the plan was possible revision repair versus reconstruction.
Description of procedure: Patient was seen and evaluated in the preop holding mea where she identified theleft hip as the operative extæmity was marked and then she was taken back to the OR suite after the fasciailiacus block was administered. She was then anesthetized on the hana table and her feet were placed inwell-padded boots. Gentle traction was administered just to affirm that we could adequately distract andget good visualization. Once that was visualized under C-arm we then sterilely prepped and draped the leftleg in standard fashion after which formal time-out indicated the correct side antibiotics beenadministered. We then commenced the formal traction and anterior lateral portal was created and then amid anterior portal was then created. An interpo capsulotomy was done and our evaluation revealed anormal-appearing anterior and anterior superior labrum however posterior or the superior aspect of thelabrum was torn again and vew small and diminutive. I contemplated for quite some time whether not arevision æpair would be in order. There was some irregularity on the acetabulum so as I trimmed some Ofthat irregularity while I tried to decide what to do I noted that the labrum in that region was very small andtherefore I decided that reconstruction would be in her best interest. We decided at approximately 40minutes of traction time and so we opened up the graft and Camryn Watson Pac worked on that diligentlyon the back table. I did removed the labrum from the 10-2 0'clock region and pæpared the rim withacetabular rim trimming. Once everything was nice and smooth and the transitions appropriate I thendrilled 5 holes with the cinch lock drill bit mostly from the mid anterior portal but had to do 1 from thelateral portal as well as the NanoTack anchor which was drilled from the anterior lateral portal. Once thatwas done the graft was finished præparing on the back table so we passed it through from posterior toanterior and we used the then a tack anchorto pull it into position and tightened down. The transition therewas acceptable so we left that transition and we went ahead and placed the rest of the cinch lock anchors allthe way around to tell we got to the anterior-most anchor and that tightened it down very nicely and weamputated the graft after that. Once that was done we cleaned up that transition as well with the the ablatorWand and cleaned up the graft and then took final pictures and at that point we noted some irregularity onher prior femoral osteoplasty that needed some revision so did a slight revision of the femoral osteoplastyuntil no further impingement sites were noted. At that point we did a capsular closure With for interportalcapsular stitches. Of note the capsule was healed and prior capsular stitches were noted to be intact in thecapsule was completely intact. There was some adhesions on the far anterior and posterior aspect butsuperiorly there were no significant adhesions of the capsule on the labral tissue. These were trimmed andcleaned prior to the labral reconstruction. After the capsule was closed we closed the portal sites With interrupted nylon Sutulæs and the patient was awakened and taken to PACU in stable condition with sterile dressings in place.
