Ensure capsulotomy is performed close to the femoral head. |
This allows sufficient capsular tissue for reconstruction. |
Avoid trimming of the medial capsule until reconstruction has been performed. |
Excessive trimming of the capsule will not allow sufficient tissue for reconstruction. |
Use a high-speed burr to decorticate the acetabular rim. |
This provides a bleeding surface for the graft to heal. |
Avoid capsular autograft in patients with borderline dysplasia or ligamentous laxity. |
This patient population should undergo capsular closure to avoid instability. |
