This paper is a retrospective study of the clinical outcomes of the arthroscopic acetabular labral repair with suture anchor. The clinical data of patients of the arthroscopic repair with wire anchors due to the acetabular labrum tears from January 2012 to January 2017 are retrospectively analyzed. Before and after the surgery, the patients are evaluated for the physical signs, the pain, the hip function and the degree of cartilage degeneration, with a total of 42 sets of complete clinical data, of an average age of 29 years and an average follow-up time of 31 months. The VAS and Harris scores are improved from the preoperative 4.5±0.92 to 1.6±1.2 and from 56.95±10.6 to 95.95±5.4, respectively. And the Harris score is greater than 90 points in 39 cases, with an excellent rate of 92.8%. The difference between the preoperative and postoperative VAS and Harris scores is statistically significant(P<0.001). However, there is no significant difference between the postoperative and preoperative cartilage degeneration (P=0.083). It is shown that the acetabular labrum arthroscopic repair with suture anchor is effective and has a critical therapeutic value for the acetabular labrum injury.
