Fig 1 A hip in a lateral position showing the positions of various portal sites with the lasso connecting the portals, including the anterior (A), anterolateral (AL), posterolateral (PL), superior acetabular (SA), and mid–femoral neck (MF) portals. The 2 ends of the suture can be clamped with a Kelly clamp and retracted to increase intra-articular visualization.

Fig 2 (A) Before and (B) after passage of suture passing through 2 portals, outside of cannulas. Improved visualization is achieved by increasing the field of view of the arthroscopic camera.
