Repair of a Proximal Hip Capsular Avulsion in Revision Hip Arthroscopy

Revision hip arthroscopy is challenging from a diagnostic and technical perspective and has been repeatedly shown to have inferior outcomes when compared to primary hip arthroscopy. Capsular defects are common findings in the revision setting that have been successfully managed with capsular reconstruction. We propose a technique of capsular repair for a proximal capsular defect without the need for a capsular reconstruction.
