Purpose
To describe a surgical technique for capsular reconstruction using acellular dermal extracellular matrix to address irreparable microinstability in the hip.
Methods
Presentation of a detailed surgical technique aimed at restoring hip stability in patients with ligamentous laxity and atraumatic instability.
Key Findings
Technique offers a durable option for patients with microinstability where other procedures are not feasible.
Conclusions
Capsular reconstruction with acellular dermal matrix can be a viable solution for irreparable hip microinstability.
What Does This Mean For Patients
Patients with hip instability who cannot undergo traditional stabilization surgeries may benefit from this reconstruction technique.
