We have compared the findings of MRI with those of hip arthroscopy in 23 hips in young adults with hip pain. Large deep cartilage deficiencies on the acetabulum or femoral head, the percentage of femoral head cover, and the presence of marginal osteophytes seen on MRI correlated well with those...

We describe a prospective study of 328 patients undergoing arthroscopy of the hip. Arthroscopy altered the diagnosis in 176 hips (53%). In 172 hips (52%) an operative procedure was undertaken. In the remaining 84 patients (26%), arthroscopy neither changed the diagnosis nor provided surgical treatment. Arthroscopy of the hip is...

Advances in arthroscopy during the last 30 years have specified new indications for elbow arthroscopy. Burman originally stated that the elbow was “unsuitable” for arthroscopic examination, but later retracted the statement when he was able to visualize the anterior compartment in a cadaveric study. In the 1970s, advances in arthroscopic equipment,...

It is the aim of this study to demonstrate which disorders of the hip joint can and should be treated by hip arthroscopy. METHOD: The technique and results of hip arthroscopy in different indications are evaluated and presented by means of a selective analysis of the literature, together with the...

Surgical visualization by means of arthroscopy has revolutionized orthopedics by allowing direct treatment of intra-articular pathology. Wrist arthroscopy evolved from the successful application of arthroscopy in larger joints. The wrist is a complex joint that continues to challenge clinicians. This joint consists of 8 carpal bones, multiple articular surfaces with extrinsic...

The purpose of this paper is to retrospectively review 234 consecutive cases of scaphoid fractures and nonunions treated using arthroscopy with the dorsal percutaneous implantation of a headless compression screw for healing and complications.
We conclude that the dorsal percutaneous treatment of scaphoid fractures and nonunions using arthroscopy is safe and...

Free registration for presentations on Ankle Arthroscopy - examples -

• Use of Arthroscopy with Ankle Instability
• Posterior Ankle Arthroscopy
• 21 Point Arthroscopic Examination of the Ankle

This course aims to set a new standard in providing specific instructions as related to elbow, wrist, and hand arthroscopy. Faculty teaching will emphasize short procedures of indications and methods. Video based presentations will include time for case presentation and discussion as well as debates. Participants will gain a broad...

Conclusions This systematic review shows that there is no conclusive evidence for the use of a single patient-reported outcome questionnaire in the evaluation of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. Based on available psychometric evidence we recommend using a combination of the NAHS and the HOS for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy.
Patient-Reported Outcome questionnaires...

Both posterior and anterior arthroscopy of the ankle may be indicated in the same patient. With the patient supine, it is possible to reach most intraarticular structures of the ankle through the standard anterior portals, but difficult to examine the posterior compartments and to perform hindfoot endoscopy. In most patients...

Arthroscopy is the examination of a joint, specifically, the inside structures. The procedure is performed by inserting a specifically designed illuminated device, called an arthroscope, into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopy may be used to diagnose, as well as treat, conditions. When a repair is performed, the procedure...

Although arthroscopy of the hip is being carried out increasingly, little is known about the rate of associated complications. We describe a prospective study of 640 consecutive procedures in which a consistent technique was used. The overall complication rate was 1.6%. Complications, none of which was major or long-term, included...

The results of 50 shoulder arthroscopies are presented. A great variety of different lesions were seen. In 27 of the 50 cases the diagnosis was changed or refined. In particular, unexpected rotator cuff tears and radiolucent loose bodies were found. The presence of Bankart and Hill-Sachs lesions confirmed the diagnosis...

We describe six knees in five patients, referred to us after accidental irrigation with chlorhexidine 1% in aqueous solution during arthroscopy. All six knees developed persisting pain, swelling and crepitus with loss of range of movement. Radiographs showed loss of joint space in all three compartments due to extensive chondrolysis,...

Current indications for hip arthroscopy include management of labral tears, osteoplasty for femoroacetabular impingement, thermal capsulorrhaphy and capsular plication for subtle rotational instability and capsular laxity, lateral impact injury and chondral lesions, osteochondritis dissecans, ligamentum teres injuries, internal and external snapping hip, removal of loose bodies, synovial biopsy, subtotal synovectomy,...

Anterior femoroacetabular impingement results from abnormal abutment of the anterolateral femoral head-neck junction with the anterior acetabular-labral complex resulting in pain and progressive hip dysfunction. This under-recognized problem could be the manifestation of acetabular or proximal femoral deformity, and when left untreated leads to the development of osteoarthritis of the...
