Arthroscopic fracture fragment removal from the hip -A case report

Arthroscopic removal of intraarticular fracture fragment after fracture dislocation of hip

“…The femoral head is deeply recessed in the bony acetabulum and is convex in shape, unlike the more planar surface of the knee. 2 Not only does arthrotomy of hip cause significant trauma to abductor apparatus and nearby neurovascular structures but it also predisposes the joint to subsequent dislocation, avascular necrosis of femoral head, heterotopic ossification and increased risk of infection. Hip arthroscopy has advanced dramatically since the 1990s.…”
