Causes:

Labral Tear

The labrum of the hip is a cuff of thick tissue that surrounds the hip socket. The labrum helps to support the hip joint. When a labral tear of the hip occurs, a piece of this tissue can become pinched in the joint causing pain and catching sensations.

Loose Bodies

Loose bodies are pieces of cartilage that form within the joint. They look like small marbles floating within the joint space. These loose bodies can become caught within the hip during movements.

Snapping Hip Syndrome

Snapping hip syndrome has several causes, some of which can be treated with hip arthroscopy. If something is catching within the hip joint, hip arthroscopy can be used to relieve this snapping. Also, hip arthroscopy can be used to perform a psoas tendon release in cases of internal snapping hip syndrome.

Cartilage Damage

In patients with focal cartilage damage, meaning not widespread arthritis, hip arthroscopy may be helpful. These patients may sustain an injury causing a piece of cartilage to break away from the surface of the bone. These patients may benefit from removal of that piece of cartilage.

Hip Arthroscopy�is performed through small incisions through which a camera is inserted to visualize�the inside of a joint. A camera is inserted through one incision and other small instruments through the other incisions. At first, the view may not be quite clear. The acidic, deteriorated joint fluid present often clouds the picture. Cleansing the joint, called lavage, where clear salt water is pumped into the joint, clearing out the old, destructive fluid, provide relief for some patients. However, many also need to have the rough edges if any that scrape and damage cartilage to be removed.

The advantage about hip�arthroscopy�is that it is much less invasive than traditional hip surgery. This helps in:

• Early rehabilitation
• Outpatient procedur
• Smaller incisions
• Early return to normal activity

Complications that normally arise are nerve injuries that affect sensation, potential injury to normal structures, infection and continued pain after the surgery. The rate of these complications is very low. The benefit of hip arthroscopy is that the recovery is much simpler than for open hip surgery. Patients can typically put as much weight as tolerated on the hip immediately following surgery.

Weight bearing may be limited after some surgical procedures with a hip�arthroscopy, including:

• Labral repair
• Iliopsoas release
• Microfracture
• Capsulorraphy

The other Orthopedic Procedures are:

• Achilles Tendon Repair
  
• Hip Replacement
  
• Knee Joint Replacement
  
• Disc Hernia�
  
• Elbow Replacement�� etc
