In vivo data on capsular repair construct efficacy are limited. We investigated the effect of a figure-of-8 capsular repair on hip distraction resistance relative to native and post-capsulotomy states. We hypothesized that an unrepaired capsulotomy would demonstrate increased axial distraction compared with the native state and that capsular repair would restore distraction resistance to native levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy by a single surgeon were prospectively enrolled between March 2020 and June 2020. Prior to any instrumentation, fluoroscopic images of the operative hip were obtained at 12.5-lbs (5.7-kg) traction intervals, up to 100 lbs (45.4 kg). Anterolateral, modified anterior, and distal anterolateral portals were established. Following interportal capsulotomy, labral repair, and osteochondroplasty, fluoroscopic images were reobtained at each traction interval. Capsular repair was performed with use of a figure-of-8 suture configuration. Traction was reapplied and fluoroscopic images were again obtained. Joint distraction distance was measured at each traction interval for all 3 capsular states. Anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were utilized to scale fluoroscopic images to obtain joint space measurements in millimeters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 31 hips in 31 patients were included. Capsulotomy resulted in significant increases in distraction distance from 25 (11.3 kg) to 100 lbs of traction compared with both native and capsular repair states (all comparisons, p \u2264 0.017). Capsular repair yielded a significantly greater distraction distance compared with the native state at 37.5 lbs (17.0 kg; 5.49 versus 4.98 mm, respectively; p = 0.012) and 50 lbs (22.7 kg; 6.08 versus 5.35 mm; p &lt; 0.001). The mean difference in distraction distance between native and capsular repair states from 25 to 100 lbs of traction was 0.01 mm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This in vivo model demonstrates that an unrepaired interportal capsulotomy significantly increases axial distraction distance compared with the native, intact hip capsule. Performing a complete capsular closure reconstitutes resistance to axial distraction intraoperatively. Future research should evaluate the in vivo effects and associated clinical outcomes of other published capsular repair techniques and assess the durability of capsular repairs over time.<\/jats:p>\n
