What Does a Hip Arthroscopy Involve?

Hip arthroscopy is a common procedure that utilizes an arthroscope, which is a long, thin surgical instrument with a tiny camera attached to the end. After inserting the arthroscope through a small incision in the hip, the surgeon can view detailed images of the joint interior without having to make a large incision and unnecessarily disrupt healthy surrounding tissues.

Hip arthroscopy may be performed to help a physician confirm a diagnosis by providing visuals of the hip joint. Additionally, the surgeon may utilize special surgical instruments during the procedure to address hip pain or stiffness caused by:

  • Bone or cartilage fragments
  • Bone spurs
  • Labral tears
  • Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
  • An inflamed or infected joint lining
