Key result
Leaving the capsule unrepaired or partially repaired during hip arthroscopy may result in successful outcomes for patients with stiff hips and borderline arthritic changes.
Why the study?
Does leaving the capsule unrepaired or performing a partial repair result in successful outcomes in patients with stiff hips and borderline arthritic changes undergoing hip arthroscopy?

Highlights that while capsular closure is generally recommended in hip arthroscopy, partial or no repair may be beneficial in specific patients with stiff hips and borderline arthritis.
Capsular closure is an important concept in hip arthroscopy and should be performed in nearly all patients. However, in patients with stiff hips and borderline arthritic changes, leaving the capsule unrepaired or performing a partial repair in the setting of a T-capsulotomy could result in successful outcomes.
