The acetabular labrum augments femoral head coverage within the acetabulum and contributes to hip joint stability. This has led to an increasing interest in procedures dedicated to preservation of the labrum. An allogenic labral transplantation performed in a patient who had previously undergone a partial labral resection is presented.
