Abstract
The authors describe a novel application of hip arthroscopy. Symptomatic proximal locking screws can readily be removed via an arthroscope. Not only can the proximal screw be removed with much less morbidity than in previously described procedures, but the abductor mechanisms can also be evaluated for injury sustained during the index procedure. Furthermore, scarred or inflamed trochanteric bursal tissue may be resected during this arthroscopic approach.
