Key Points

Adhesions are common at revision hip arthroscopy but are not always symptomatic.

Symptomatic adhesions can be removed through careful dissection of the capsulolabral recess.

The native labrum should be preserved whenever possible.

Aggressive adhesion debridement may inadvertently remove healthy labral tissue.

A capsulolabral spacer is made with a tubularized iliotibial band allograft.

The spacer may prevent recurrent adhesions by keeping an offset between the capsule and the labrum.
