Does hip arthroscopic surgery with labral preservation and capsular plication improve patient-reported outcomes in patients with borderline hip dysplasia?
Hip arthroscopy with labral preservation and capsular plication may be a safe and durable option for borderline hip dysplasia when performed by experts.
While periacetabular osteotomy remains the standard for treating true acetabular dysplasia, hip arthroscopy may provide a safe and durable means of managing intra-articular abnormalities in the setting of borderline acetabular dysplasia at midterm follow-up. These procedures should be performed by surgeons with expertise in advanced arthroscopic techniques, using strict patient selection criteria, with emphasis on labral preservation and capsular plication.
