A standard arthroscopic interportal capsulotomy is performed above the zona orbicularis to avoid injury to the lateral femoral circumflex artery. This is extended with a vertical limb to provide access to the central compartment.

Intracapsular atraumatic arthroscopic technique for closure of hip capsule. (A) The Spectrum suture passer is introduced through the lower limb, and (B) suture A is passed through. The suture is then retrieved through the anterior portal. (C) Another suture loop is passed through the superior limb by use of the Accu-Pass device, and this is used to retrieve suture A through the upper limb of the capsule. (D) The suture ends are tied to secure closure of the capsule.
