Hip Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive outpatient surgical procedure. The procedure uses a pencil sized camera to give the surgeon vision of the hip joint and a variety of surgical instruments designed to treat different hip conditions. Hip arthroscopy cannot treat all hip disorders however; it has proven to be very effective in the treatment of many hip problems such as hip fractures, osteoarthritis, and others. Depending upon the cause of the pain in the hip, this procedure can greatly reduce your pain and discomfort. The small size of the instruments used benefits patients greatly. Incisions are smaller which automatically reduces scarring and down time. Also when the surgeon inserts the instrument, less tissue and ligaments are damaged which contributes to the shortened recovery time.
