Hip Arthroscopy
Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is an advanced, minimally invasive method that allows an orthopedic surgeon to examine the inside of the hip joint and treat a wide range of conditions. It is not an open surgical technique, which enables the patient to mobilize immediately and usually be discharged on the same day. This surgical procedure is performed through very small incisions around the hip, through which a camera and surgical instruments are inserted. This technique has both diagnostic and therapeutic roles. It can diagnose chronic pathological conditions of the hip, such as acetabular labrum tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) of the CAM and PINCER types, and cartilage damage of the acetabulum and femoral head. Furthermore, it can also treat these conditions, including the surgical repair and suturing of the acetabular labrum, removal of femoroacetabular impingement morphology, and microfracture or other techniques for cartilage damage. Additionally, it is indicated for: Early arthritis Adhesive capsulitis of the hip Hip trochanteric bursitis Inflammatory conditions of the hip joint - synovial disorders Hip dysplasia Osteonecrosis of the femoral head Iliopsoas tendinitis Acetabular subchondral cysts Snapping hip syndrome Abductor tendon tears
