Knotless Implants As an Alternative for Capsular Closure in Primary Hip Arthroscopy: a Prospective, Multi-Center Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 4
SUMMARY

The purpose of this research is to see if the Arthrex LoopLocTM device is better for capsular closure during hip arthroscopy than other treatments available. The hip capsule is the tissue that surrounds your hip joint. It stabilizes and supports your hip joint. During hip arthroscopy, this tissue must be cut through in order to perform the hip arthroscopy. Once the hip arthroscopy is completed, the surgeon might repair the capsule. Current ways of repairing the capsule include knotted suture that might irritate structures around the hip, leading to the possible formation of scar tissue and pain. The Arthrex LoopLocTM device is knotless and may lower the presence of irritation and scar tissue around the hip after surgery and might lead to better outcomes. Therefore, researchers will compare patients who had the LoopLocTM device used to close their hip capsule during surgery to those who did not have the device used, to see if there is a difference in their outcomes following surgery.

Treatments
Experimental: LoopLoc Arm
The patients in this group will have the LoopLoc device used following their hip arthroscopy, to close the capsule.
Active_comparator: Control Arm
This is a control group, meaning they had their hip arthroscopy done without the use of the LoopLoc device.
