Extensive Capsulotomy for Ideal Exposure and Treatment in Hip Arthroscopy (SS‐33)

Capsulotomy in hip arthroscopy has been used since the 1990's for better exposure and mobility of instruments, as popularized by James M. Glick. As the arthroscopic hip procedures have become more extensive requiring better access to both the central and peripheral compartments for removal of metaplastic bone as in treating Femoroacetabular Impingement, capsulotomy similar to open techniques has been employed.
