Abstract
- Patients affected by coxarthrosis may be treated surgically with total hip arthroplasty (THA). During the surgical intervention, the hip joint capsule can be completely removed, performing a capsulectomy. Otherwise it's possible to perform a capsulotomy, which allows for capsular conservation. Since there is no scientific evidence demonstrating the superiority of one method over the other, the choice whether to remove or conserve the capsule is at the surgeon's discretion and both procedures are actually accepted.
