Hip Arthroscopic Labral Repair with Transcapsular Suture Passage for Medial Capsular Preservation

As the prevalence of hip arthroscopy increases, so has the role of capsular management. Biomechanical studies have shown that a capsulotomy restores the native biomechanics and rotation profile of the hip.2,4 Recent clinical studies have also shown that capsular closure at the time of primary hip arthroscopy improves both short- and long-term patient-reported outcomes, revision rates, and conversion to arthroplasty, highlighting the importance of capsular management.1
