About this trial
The study is to prospectively compare absorbable sutures with non-absorbable sutures used for capsular repair during hip arthroscopic procedures. Major outcomes will be measured using three questionnaires ((1) International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12), (2) modified Harris hip score, (3) hip outcome score) in addition to the standard of care set of 9 questionnaires. The other major outcome will be any radiographic heterotrophic ossification at the 6-month follow-up time point.
