Hip arthroscopy is a rapidly evolving field in orthopedics, offering diagnostic and therapeutic benefits for a range of hip pathologies. This review outlines a comprehensive guide to initiating hip arthroscopy safely and effectively using evidence-based practices. Optimal surgical outcomes depend on correct indications for surgery, in particular in the presence of borderline dysplasia and degenerative joint diseases. Proper patient counseling and setting realistic expectations are crucial for satisfactory outcomes and recovery. Physical examination, radiographs, MRI, and CT scans are essential for accurate diagnosis. In case of diagnostic uncertainty, the use of intra-articular injections can help confirm the diagnosis before surgery. Techniques for hip arthroscopy include central compartment first, peripheral compartment first, and outside-in approaches. Each technique has advantages, and the optimal approach depends on the specific case. Finally, Proper operating room setup, meticulous patient positioning, and precise portal placement are critical for a successful procedure. A thorough understanding of the safe zone anatomy for portal placement is essential to minimize the risk of neurovascular complications. In conclusion, this manuscript provides a detailed, evidence-based framework for starting hip arthroscopy, emphasizing the importance of technical proficiency, patient selection, and a multidisciplinary approach to ensure patient safety and procedure efficacy. |
