Abstract
Hip arthroscopy is infrequently performed in North America. The anatomic constraints of the joint and the lack of equipment specifically designed for this application have contributed to the lack of surgical experience. Because of the potential for significant neurovascular injury, familiarization with precise portal placement is essential. In properly selected patients, hip arthroscopy allows diagnosis of a variety of disorders. The authors believe this technique has a significant role in the treatment of acetabular labral tears, loose bodies, chondral injuries to the joint, and septic arthritis.
