Surgical technique: a simple technique for closing the capsule of the hip in posterolateral approach total hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Repair of the posterior soft tissue via a posterolateral approach following total hip arthroplasty has been reported to mitigate the risk of dislocation. The joint capsule serves as the primary protective barrier, and while previous techniques for closure have been predominantly complex, we present a novel, simplified technique for joint capsule closure.

Methods

A total of 215 patients who underwent primary THA via the posterolateral approach at our hospital from May 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively enrolled in this study: 111 patients had their joint capsules sutured using traditional methods, while 114 patients had their joint capsules sutured using the new technology.

Results

Compared to the traditional suture group, the novel joint capsular su
