Abstract
An iatrogenic capsular defect can be a major contributing factor to macroinstability of the hip. For this circumstance, capsular reconstruction may be appropriately indicated when the capsule cannot be primarily reconstituted. Severe dysfunction may accompany previous failed arthroscopy. This dysfunction should be assessed and addressed with a properly structured rehabilitation program prior to revision surgery. We describe a simplified technique for capsular reconstruction using a dermal allograft.
