Abstract:
Different techniques have been described to close or plicate the capsule. To perform these procedures, however, the capsule must be preserved, a consideration unfortunately often overlooked. This Technical Note describes in a stepwise manner the initial capsular management necessary to preserve the capsule for further procedures such as closure or plication. Level of Evidence: I (hip), II (impingement, labrum, other).
