Abstract

The hip joint capsule plays a significant role in maintaining hip stability, including translation and rotation. Hip capsular closure or plication has been shown to increase stability of the joint following capsulotomy in hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and/or associated labral tears. This technique article describes a knotless method of closing the hip capsule.
