Abstract:
Arthroscopically-assisted extraction of loose bodies retained in a hip joint after hip dislocation or acetabular fracture in the acute setting remains controversial. This article describes a practical and reproducible arthroscopically assisted modified anterior approach for extracting loose bodies from a hip joint. This approach may be used in the acute dislocation or fracture setting.
