Hip Arthroscopy
About Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the hip joint using a small camera and specialized instruments.
Overview
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopedic procedure in which a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the hip joint through tiny incisions. This allows surgeons to diagnose and treat conditions such as labral tears, cartilage damage, and hip impingement with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
