Abstract

|
Hip arthroscopy is technically demanding and requires special distraction tools and operating equipment. The indications for hip arthroscopy are expanding as the understanding of hip disease increases. Improved instrumentation and technical skills have also facilitated the ability of physicians to treat some hip disorders arthroscopically. Various arthroscopic techniques allow the treatment of labral and acetabular rim pathology as well as pathology of the peripheral compartment. Improved techniques and longer-term outcomes studies should further define the optimal role of hip arthroscopy. Consequently, hip arthroscopy has been used to treat patients who should have had a more complicated open procedure or should have gone untreated. Moreover, hip arthroscopy, as with any procedure, is not without risks. Fortunately, complications are few, occurring in <5% of patients with hip pain.
