DENVER — At the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting, Benjamin G. Domb, MD, discussed a study that compared capsular repair with unrepaired capsulotomy in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy.  He said patients who were repaired saw improvements at the 2-year and 5-year follow-up; however, the unrepaired group saw a decrease in their patient-reported outcomes. At the minimum 5-year follow-up, the repaired group had a survivorship of around 90%, whereas those who were not repaired had a survivorship of less than 82%.
