Basic Hip Arthroscopy Part 3: Peripheral-Compartment Arthroscopy (T-Capsulotomy, Femoroplasty, and Capsular Closure)

Abstract

Over the past decade, hip preservation strategies have gained momentum, resulting in a notable increase in the use of hip arthroscopy for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for hip-related pathology. In this 3-part series, we aim to comprehensively review the fundamentals of hip arthroscopy in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement. This Technical Note will thoroughly review the senior authors’ approach to managing the peripheral compartment of the hip in the context of femoroacetabular impingement.
