Arthroscopic Hip Capsular Closure for Far Medial Defects Along the Iliopsoas Fossa

As the prevalence of hip arthroscopy increases, hip capsular defects are increasingly recognized as a source of recurrent symptoms in the young athletic hip. The hip capsule is of substantial importance in providing joint stability and normal biomechanics. Several recent studies have demonstrated th...

description As the prevalence of hip arthroscopy increases, hip capsular defects are increasingly recognized as a source of recurrent symptoms in the young athletic hip. The hip capsule is of substantial importance in providing joint stability and normal biomechanics. Several recent studies have demonstrated 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. Similarly, capsular insufficiency has been shown to be a source of recurrent pain and microinstability. Arthroscopic hip capsular management in the setting of chronic defects can be technically challenging, and far medial defects along the iliopsoas bursa are historically difficult to successfully repair because of challenging access and common lack of a proximal cuff of tissue for repair. We present an effective method for arthroscopic management of far medial hip capsular defects that consistently allows for reproducible capsular repair even in the absence of proximal capsular tissue.
