  • Title: Arthroscopic hip preservation surgery: current concepts and perspective.
    Author: Bedi A, Kelly BT, Khanduja V.
    Journal: Bone Joint J; 2013 Jan; 95-B(1):10-9. PubMed ID: 23307667.
    Abstract:
    The technical advances in arthroscopic surgery of the hip, including the improved ability to manage the capsule and gain extensile exposure, have been paralleled by a growth in the number of conditions that can be addressed. This expanding list includes symptomatic labral tears, chondral lesions, injuries of the ligamentum teres, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), capsular laxity and instability, and various extra-articular disorders, including snapping hip syndromes. With a careful diagnostic evaluation and technical execution of well-indicated procedures, arthroscopic surgery of the hip can achieve successful clinical outcomes, with predictable improvements in function and pre-injury levels of physical activity for many patients.This paper reviews the current position in relation to the use of arthroscopy in the treatment of disorders of the hip.
