Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Hip Joint Pathologies

Background:

Hip arthroscopy is a rapidly advancing minimally invasive surgical technique.
It offers benefits including a short rehabilitation period.
Improved instrumentation and surgical skills enhance diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the evolving indications and applications of hip arthroscopy.
To discuss the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and associated labral/acetabular pathology.
To explore the use of hip arthroscopy for extra-articular conditions and surrounding structures.

Main Methods:

Review of current arthroscopic techniques for intra- and extra-articular hip conditions.

Discussion of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) diagnosis and arthroscopic management.

Exploration of surgical approaches for labral tears, acetabular rim pathology, and femoral head-neck abnormalities.

Main Results:

Hip arthroscopy effectively treats femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), including labral and acetabular rim pathology.
The procedure is indicated for traumatic and atraumatic intra- and extra-articular hip conditions.
Applications extend to snapping hip syndromes, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, and abductor tendon tears.

Conclusions:

Hip arthroscopy is a versatile procedure for a range of hip joint disorders.
Continued advancements in understanding arthroscopic anatomy and techniques will refine its optimal role.
Improved outcomes are expected with objective measurement tools and refined surgical approaches.
