Abstract
Hip arthroscopy is a valuable yet technically demanding procedure for the treatment of prearthritic hip pathologies. Proper technique is essential for successful hip joint entry. However, the learning curve to become proficient in hip arthroscopy is steep, and joint entry is arguably one of the most difficult aspects of the procedure. Improper technique poses risk of iatrogenic chondral and labral damage and may make the rest of the procedure technically more difficult. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a technique to facilitate safe and reproducible joint entry during hip arthroscopy.
