Spring 2020 Fellows Webinars-Hip Arthroscopy and Capsular Reconstruction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Summary: <br /><br />The speaker, Dr. Mark Philippon, presents on capsular reconstruction in hip arthroscopy. He discusses the importance of the hip capsule and its role in stability and joint health. He explains that capsular defects can lead to micro-instability and pain in the hip joint. Dr. Philippon presents his technique for capsular reconstruction using an IT band autograft or allograft. The procedure involves measuring the defect, preparing the graft, and delivering it to the subspine region of the acetabulum. He emphasizes the importance of proximal anchoring and side-to-side anastomosis for a stable repair. He also discusses post-operative rehabilitation, including weight-bearing restrictions and range of motion limits. Dr. Philippon shares preliminary midterm results, indicating positive outcomes and improved patient function. He also mentions the use of lasartan in reducing adhesions and scar tissue and its potential benefits in microfracture procedures. The speaker acknowledges that further research is needed to fully understand the outcomes and benefits of capsular reconstruction. <br /><br />Credits: Dr. Mark Philippon, Multi-Institutional Sports Medicine Fellows Conference
