Abstract

Adequate arthroscopic access and visualization are vital to the thorough and precise treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Inadequate correction of bony deformity is thought to be the most common cause of failure of arthroscopic treatment. 1-7 Similarly, the complications of overresection are now more commonly recognized. The type and extent of arthroscopic hip capsulotomy affects the arthroscopic visualization and maneuverability of instruments. However, equally important are the effects of capsulotomy and subsequent capsular repair on the postoperative stability and kinematics of the hip joint.
