(A) Coordinate conventions for specifying circumferential location. The anterior-most aspect of the capsule was assigned a value of θ=0°, with θ increasing in a counter-clockwise fashion (for visual clarity, the femoral stem has been rendered transparent). (B) A single longitudinal incision is shown at a posterolateral location. (C) Repair of a laterally located incision with two sutures, equidistantly spaced.
