The Use of a Ureteric Stone Basket for Removing Loose Bodies at Hip Arthroscopy
Abstract
We present the use of a ureteric stone basket for arthroscopic removal of loose bodies from the hip joint. The technique is easy to perform and reduces the time required for loose body retrieval while minimizing the risk of iatrogenic damage to the cartilage surfaces of the joint.
