Abstract:
Extra-articular impingement has been reported alongside femoroacetabular impingement syndrome as a source of hip symptomatology, arising specifically from the anterior inferior iliac spine-also known as the "subspine." Advancements in arthroscopic surgical techniques have enabled surgeons to address these extra-articular impingement sources in a minimally invasive manner. Previous evidence has shown improvement in patient-reported outcomes, a low risk of postoperative complications, and a decreased need for revision surgery. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique for achieving intra- and extra-articular subspine decompression that is reproducible. We hope this will lead to improved clinical results in patients with subspine impingement who undergo arthroscopic subspine decompression.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
