Current Trends in Hip Arthroscopy Capsule Management: A Survey of Hip Arthroscopists-Alison Karczewski

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses the current trends in hip arthroscopy and the management of the capsule. Hip arthroscopy has become a popular surgery for treating hip impingement, and the capsule is addressed to improve visualization and access. However, there are differing opinions on the type, size, and location of the capsulotomy. The presenter describes a survey conducted on hip arthroscopists, with 65 respondents from the United States and other countries. The results show that interportal capsulotomy is commonly used, and capsule repair is generally performed. However, a significant number of surgeons choose not to repair the capsule. The presenter also highlights the under-reporting of post-operative dislocations. Overall, the study concludes that while most surgeons utilize interportal capsulotomy and perform capsule repair, there is still a variation in surgical approaches to the capsule in hip arthroscopy.
