Why the study?
Does an arthroscopic approach including labral repair augmented by capsular plication with inferior shift improve outcomes in patients with borderline hip dysplasia?

An arthroscopic approach with labral repair and capsular plication shows favorable 2-year outcomes for borderline hip dysplasia.
Should not yet change practice in borderline hip dysplasia; leaves open efficacy of this arthroscopic approach pending randomized trials.
Patients with borderline dysplasia have often fallen into a gray area between arthroscopy and periacetabular osteotomy, and viable treatment options have remained scarce. The current study demonstrates favorable results at 2-year follow-up for an arthroscopic approach that includes labral repair augmented by capsular plication with inferior shift.
