Capsular Management During Hip Arthroscopy: My Way Is the Right Way

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Ben Dome from the American Hip Institute discusses the management of the capsule during hip arthroscopy. He advocates for making a sufficient capsulotomy to allow for maneuverability and easier instrument use. He explains the advantages of a reasonable capsulotomy, which include better exposure, easier instrument maneuverability, and improved joint distraction. Dr. Dome discusses the history of capsulotomy repair and the complications that can occur with unrepaired capsulotomies. He presents his personal preference of an interportal capsulotomy and discusses the indications for capsular closure or repair. Dr. Dome emphasizes the importance of capsular preservation and concludes that sufficient capsulotomy enables advanced procedures and routine capsular closure aids in good capsular management. <br /><br />No credits were granted in the transcript.
