Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a cutting-edge area of orthopedic surgery. Arthroscopic surgery of the hip is performed through tiny poke-hole (portal) incisions using a camera to view inside the hip joint. A variety of instruments are used to repair, debride or reconstruct a torn labrum, repair or debride injured cartilage and soft tissues, remove bone spurs, and remove excess bone to re-shape the hip. Many people with long-standing hip problems or injuries are candidates for hip arthroscopy. Know More
