APEX Managing Modern Athletic Hip Injuries-Online Didactic (September 2021)-Primary Capsular Repair Techniques

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Shane Ngo discusses the evolution of primary capsule repair techniques for hip surgeries. He explains that the focus has shifted from safe access to complete correction of femoral SMR impingement, and now emphasizes the preservation of both labral and capsular structures. Dr. Ngo also discusses the importance of understanding the anatomy and function of the iliofemoral ligament in capsular repairs. He mentions studies that show how capsulotomy can affect translation, rotation, and strain in the hip joint, and presents evidence supporting the effectiveness of capsular repair in restoring native hip kinematics. Dr. Ngo provides step-by-step explanations and demonstrations of the T-capsulotomy and interportal capsulotomy techniques, as well as the process of capsular repair. He concludes by highlighting the positive clinical outcomes associated with capsular repair compared to non-repair methods.
