Arthroscopy has been a tool in standard orthopedic operations on many joints, for example the knee and shoulder joints, for many years. However, the surrounding musculature makes access to the hip joint much more difficult compared to the knee and shoulder joints.
In recent years, a number of surgeons have refined hip-joint surgery and developed techniques which permit arthroscopic treatment of an increasing number of conditions associated with the hip joint.
Frequent indications for hip joint arthroscopy are loose bodys in the hip joint, impingement of the hip joints, cartilage damage in the hip joint, disease of the mucus membrane in the hip joint, synovitis in the hip joint, and damage to the labrum.
Hip arthroscopy is a procedure for examining both the joint gap between femoral head and acetabulum (central compartment) and also the rest of the join area (peripheral compartment).
