Does the Hip Capsule Remain Closed After Hip Arthroscopy With Routine Capsular Closure for Femoroacetabular Impingement? A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis in Symptomatic Postoperative Patients.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the hip capsule in a subset of symptomatic patients who underwent capsular closure during hip arthroscopy. METHODS All patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with routine capsular closure between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2015, were eligible.

Hip arthroscopy for intra-capsular benign tumors: a case series

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the assessment of intra-capsular femoral head and neck tumors, and to describe the arthroscopic surgical technique used to resect and fill the bone defects. Three cases of benign femoral head and neck lesions are presented. Two benign enchondromas and one benign osteochondroma were resected arthroscopically. Traction was used in one case. Modified Har...

Multicentre study on capsular closure versus non-capsular closure during hip arthroscopy in Danish patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI): protocol for a randomised controlled trial

INTRODUCTION Hip arthroscopy has become a standard procedure in the treatment of hip joint pain not related to osteoarthritis or dysplasia in the young and active patient. There has been increasing focus on the contribution of the hip capsule to function and on stability following hip arthroscopy. It has been suggested that capsular closure after hip arthroscopy may prevent microinstability and...
