Key result
Capsular repair may improve functional outcomes for instability after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.
Why the study?
Hip instability is a known complication after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement, with incidence varying by surgical technique and patient factors.

Capsular repair may benefit symptomatic post-arthroscopy instability; leaves open need for controlled trials before practice change.
Hip instability is a known complication after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The incidence of this complication varies depending upon surgical technique and patient factors. We hypothesized that capsular repair in patients with symptoms of instability after arthroscopy and/or dislocation would lead to improved functional outcomes.
