Abstract:
Hip arthroscopy continues to increase in popularity and has an ever-expanding range of indications; however, the steep learning curve introduces significant risk of iatrogenic chondrolabral injury when accessing the joint and establishing arthroscopic portals. This article presents a technique for establishing the modified midanterior portal and is particularly useful when the available space is tight. We present "the air-lift" as a safe and simple adjunct to standard portal creation when performing hip arthroscopy in the supine position.
