In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that complete capsular closure after hip arthroscopy is an important step to achieve the best and most durable outcome, leading to improved clinical results for patients.
The management of the hip capsule has been a recent area of controversy in hip arthroscopy. Over the past 5 years, there has been mounting biomechanical and clinical evidence that complete capsular closure is an important step to achieve the best and most durable outcome from hip arthroscopy. Numerous studies in the laboratory have shown that repairing the capsulotomy during simulated hip arthroscopy establishes normal hip biomechanics. Multiple studies have also reported improved clinical outcomes and less conversion to total hip arthroplasty in patients undergoing capsular repair. We have published that patients improve after revision hip arthroscopy for repair of capsular defects. I think it is safe to say that complete capsular closure after hip arthroscopy is becoming the standard of care in our field.
