Introduction
|
|---|
Over the last decade, the management of hip injuries has evolved
substantially due to the advancement of techniques in arthroscopy and
diagnostic tools such as magnetic resonance imaging. Arthroscopy of the hip
remains a challenge due to the osseous and soft-tissue constraints of the hip.
Currently, various hip lesions, including labral tears, loose bodies,
femoroacetabular impingement, coxa saltans (snapping hip syndrome), ligamentum
teres injuries, and capsular laxity, can be successfully treated
arthroscopically. As continued improvements are made in surgical techniques
and in specifically designed instrumentation for the hip, the indications for
arthroscopy will continue to increase and arthroscopy of the hip will become a
standard procedure performed by an increasing number of orthopaedic
surgeons.
