Editorial Commentary: Iatrogenic Instability of the Hip: A Perfect Storm.
Iatrogenic instability of the hip is likely a perfect storm with enough factors coming together just wrong to create the problem. Capsular neglect is but one potential component. Instability is also just one of a myriad of problems that can be encountered following hip arthroscopy that ranges on a spectrum from too loose to too stiff with numerous reasons in between for incomplete pain relief and residual dysfunction. Proper capsular management does not always mean capsular repair.
