Inadequate capsular closure may contribute to postoperative microinstability, persistent pain, and suboptimal outcomes, particularly in patients undergoing extensive capsulotomy or procedures affecting proximal capsular tissue. Most capsular augmentation techniques using the reflected head of the rectus femoris rely on suture anchors for tendon fixation. This technical note describes an anchor\u2010free capsular augmentation technique using the reflected head of the rectus femoris. A capsule\u2010tendon\u2010capsule suture construct is created using a suture\u2010passing device, allowing simultaneous capsular closure and reinforcement without additional implants. The technique is simple, reproducible, and cost\u2010effective and preserves the dynamic stabilizing role of the rectus femoris while maintaining physiologic capsular excursion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/atn2.70312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T11:21:11Z","timestamp":1791544871000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Anchor\u2010Free
