Case series or cohort studies assessing outcomes and RTS rates after labral reconstruction were included. Literature retrieval and data extraction were conducted by 2 independent reviewers. Inclusion criteria were published prospective\/retrospective studies or case series on patients diagnosed with hip labral tear undergoing labral reconstruction. Exclusion criteria were studies on patients who did not undergo labral reconstruction of the hip and non\u2010English studies. Data analysis of modified Harris Hip Score, Non\u2010Arthritic Hip Score, Hip Outcome Score, and Visual Analog Scale was conducted. RTS rates were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Eight studies (2 case series, 6 cohort studies) involving 262 patients were included. The mean population age was 33\u2009years, ranging from 10 to 40. Studies had RTS rates ranging from 64% to 88%. Four of these studies reported patients returning to sport at the same or an even higher level of play. Patient\u2010reported outcomes improved postoperatively. Visual Analog Scale at the latest follow\u2010up showed an improvement ranging from 2.60 to 4.50, with at least 70% of patients in 2 included studies achieving minimal clinically important difference and substantial clinical benefit. The modified Harris Hip Score improvement at the latest follow\u2010up ranged from 18.00 to 24.30, with at least 60% of patients in included studies achieving minimal clinically important difference. Non\u2010Arthritic Hip Score improvement at the latest follow\u2010up ranged from 15.50 to 25.70, with 70% of participants in 1 study achieving minimal clinically important difference. Hip Outcome Score improvement at the latest follow\u2010up ranged from 25.10 to 35.50. Three studies reported revision surgery rates ranging from 3.4% to 10%.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Current evidence suggests that labral reconstruction for the treatment of hip labral tears is an effective option producing good RTS rates ranging from 60% to 80% and improvements in patient\u2010reported outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n Level IV, systematic review of Level III and IV studies.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/arj.70514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]],"date-time":"2026-10-01T11:36:43Z","timestamp":1790854603000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Labral Reconstruction of the Hip Provides Moderate Return to Sports for the Treatment of Labral Tears: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"given":"Xinyu","family":"Tao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Singapore General Hospital Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5768-4721","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teddy","family":"Cheong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Sengkang General Hospital Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danyal H.","family":"Nawabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Medicine Institute Hospital for Special Surgery New York New York U.S.A."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2701-9057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamid Rahmatullah","family":"Bin Abd Razak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Sengkang General Hospital Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"Total Orthopaedic Care & Surgery Novena Medical Centre Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2236-3729","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Merrill Lee","family":"Jian Hui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Singapore General Hospital Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"879","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2020.12.234","article-title":"Editorial commentary: Arthrosomnology and the solution to coxalgia somnia: Arthroscopic hip surgeons and patients increasingly appreciate the role of sleep as good medicine","volume":"37","author":"Harris JD","year":"2021","journal-title":"Arthroscopy"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"403","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-003-0390-7","article-title":"A preliminary report on prevalence of acetabular labrum tears in sports patients with groin pain","volume":"11","author":"Narvani AA","year":"2003","journal-title":"Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1496","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2005.08.013","article-title":"Arthroscopic labral repair in the hip: Surgical technique and review of the literature","volume":"21","author":"Kelly BT","year":"2005","journal-title":"Arthroscopy"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"779","DOI":"10.1016\/S0278-5919(05)70284-2","article-title":"Acetabular labral tears in the athlete","volume":"20","author":"Mason JB","year":"2001","journal-title":"Clin Sports Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/86.1.110","article-title":"Acetabular labral tears","volume":"86","author":"Lewis CL","year":"2006","journal-title":"Phys Ther"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.1007\/s12178-009-9052-9","article-title":"A comprehensive review of hip labral tears","volume":"2","author":"Groh MM","year":"2009","journal-title":"Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1020","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465030310060701","article-title":"Hip arthroscopy: Current indications, treatment options, and management issues","volume":"31","author":"Kelly BT","year":"2003","journal-title":"Am J Sports Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1007\/s12178-019-09575-1","article-title":"Mather RC III.
