Abstract:
This description shows the histological findings of a peroneus brevis tendon allograft used for labral reconstruction, implanted 8 weeks before being retrieved due to a postoperative complication unrelated to the graft. As far as we have knowledge this is the first description about revascularization of an allograft used for hip labral reconstruction. The histological report of the removed peroneus brevis tendon allograft shows evidence of vascular ingrowth represented by small vessels with a thin muscular wall in all layers of the graft and cellular migration mainly represented by mature fibroblasts.
