Recognition and Lysis of Capsulolabral Adhesions Following Hip Arthroscopy and Their Role in Labral Pathology

Capsulolabral adhesions are a common cause of revision hip arthroscopy. Recent evidence suggests a rehabilitation protocol emphasizing early range of motion and circumduction supplemented by oral losartan may be beneficial to prevent adhesion formation. Despite best efforts, adhesions may still form and are often associated with labral pathology. The present technique shows the mechanism by which adhesions elicit labral pathology. Additionally, we share the senior author's preferred method for lysis of adhesions.
