Description
[edit | edit source]

Hip arthroscopy refers to minimally invasive surgery to assess or treat hip pathologies[1].

Indications[edit | edit source]

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).[edit | edit source]

FAI is a common cause of hip pain in young people, and is caused by the of abnormal contact between acetabular rim and proximal femur during movement[2]. Arthroscopic surgeries have been found to have statistically similar outcomes when compared to traditional open surgeries[3]. A 2019 meta analysis and systematic review of 31 studies including a total of 1981 hips among 1911 patients for hip arthroscopy for FAI showed high percentage of patients return to sport activities (87.7%) and significant improvement in all patient-reported outcome measures, except for mental health, with a low rate of complications (1.7%) and re-operation (5.5%)[4].
