Four surgical stages depicted on a left-sided hip, which included the intact hip with cam morphology, were tested (with orange indicating the iliofemoral ligament; green, the pubofemoral ligament; and yellow, the encapsulating tissue) (Fig. 5-A); capsulotomy, in which the iliofemoral ligament was incised to create a T-capsulotomy (dashed lines) (Fig. 5-B); cam resection, in which the cam morphology was resected through the incised capsule (dashed lines) (Fig. 5-C); and capsular repair, in which the incised portal was closed using simple, interrupted sutures (purple knots) (Fig. 5-D). ANT = anterior, LAT = lateral, and SUP = superior. (Adapted, under CC BY 4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/], from: Ng KCG, El Daou H, Bankes MJK, Rodriguez Y Baena F, Jeffers JRT.
