<i>Editorial Commentary</i> : Durable Long‐Term Results After Arthroscopic Posterior Labral Repair for Active‐Duty Service Members Is Reassuring for All Highly Active Patients

Abstract The active‐duty military represents a high‐demand population with previously unreported long‐term outcomes after arthroscopic posterior labral repair. While we can be encouraged by short‐ and medium‐term results, the durability of patient reported and clinically significant outcomes has remained unknown, until now. Long‐term follow‐up now shows that a low reoperation rate with high rates of return to sport and return to unrestricted duty can be achieved. Arthroscopic posterior labral repair remains a durable treatment in even the most demanding of patients.

Abstract

Abstract The active‐duty military represents a high‐demand population with previously unreported long‐term outcomes after arthroscopic posterior labral repair. While we can be encouraged by short‐ and medium‐term results, the durability of patient reported and clinically significant outcomes has remained unknown, until now. Long‐term follow‐up now shows that a low reoperation rate with high rates of return to sport and return to unrestricted duty can be achieved. Arthroscopic posterior labral repair remains a durable treatment in even the most demanding of patients.
