V-shaped capsular plication for treating cam-type femoroacetabular impingement with hip instability in borderline dysplastic hips: a retrospective cohort study

1

The study evaluates V-shaped capsular plication for managing cam-type femoroacetabular impingement in patients with borderline dysplastic hips.
2

Fifteen patients underwent arthroscopic labral repair and capsular plication, showing significant improvements in pain and hip function postoperatively.
3

Clinical outcomes were measured using VAS, mHHS, HOS-ADL, and HOS-SSS, with all scores significantly improved at final follow-up.
4

No major complications were reported, indicating the technique's safety in treating instability associated with borderline dysplastic hips.
5

The study suggests further research with larger cohorts and longer follow-up is needed to confirm the long-term efficacy of this technique.
