Repeated survey examines capsular closure trends in hip arthroscopy, highlighting evolving surgical practices.

This study explores current trends in capsular management techniques used by surgeons in hip arthroscopy over five years.
Conducted a repeated cross-sectional survey distributed via Qualtrics to hip arthroscopy surgeons in 2018, 2020, and 2023.
Survey assessed surgical experience, capsular management techniques, postoperative protocols, and complications.
Responses from a total of 235 surgeons were analyzed for trends in capsular closure practices over time.
Interportal capsulotomy was consistently the preferred technique for hip arthroscopy throughout the study period.
Capsular closure was reported by 50% of surgeons in 2018 and 2020, increasing to 67% in 2023, although this change was not statistically significant.
Surgeons utilizing T-capsulotomy were more likely to perform capsular closure compared to those using interportal capsulotomy.
