title: Anterior hip capsuloligamentous reconstruction for recurrent instability after hip arthroscopy.
abstract: A variety of complications, including iatrogenic anterior hip instability, have been reported after hip arthroscopy. We present a case of a patient sustaining a postoperative anterior hip dislocation after cam resection for treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. Our patient developed persistent instability and required anterior capsuloligamentous reconstruction with iliotibial autograft. We present a comprehensive review of the literature on postoperative hip instability after hip arthroscopy, including the role of capsulotomy closure, and use of postoperative orthotics and weight-bearing restrictions.
