Outside‐In Distal‐to‐Proximal Longitudinal Capsulotomy Using the Greater Trochanter as a Bony Landmark With Postless Traction During Hip Arthroscopy

Abstract
Hip arthroscopy is an established treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, with demonstrated long‐term efficacy. However, the deep‐seated anatomy of the hip joint and its complex periarticular structures pose significant challenges for achieving safe capsulotomy and adequate intra‐articular exposure. We describe a technique using the greater trochanter as an anatomical reference point to perform an outside‐in, distal‐to‐proximal longitudinal capsulotomy under postless traction.
