Abstract:[Objective] To introduce the surgical technique and preliminary clinical outcomes of arthroscopic constrictive capsular su- ture for hip instability. [Methods] One patient received arthroscopic constrictive capsular suture for hip instability. During the operation, ar- throscopic exploration revealed that the labrum was intact, and inflammatory changes were found above the labrum, which was considered to be caused by hip instability. As the cause of hip joint pain was determined, the anterior lateral joint capsule, involving iliofemoral liga- ment, was arthroscopically sutured with 3 stitches outside-in to constrict the hip. [Results] The patients had hip arthroscopy performed smoothly without serious complications. VAS score decreased from 6 preoperatively to 0 at 3 months postoperatively, while the Harris score increased from 56 to 90, and the iHOT12 score increased from 60 to 110. The patients got satisfactory functional recovery. [Conclusion] This arthroscopic constrictive capsular suture has benefits of minimal iatrogenic trauma, simple operation manipulation and few complica- tions, does achieve satisfactory preliminary outcome.
