Arthroscopy of the hip joint: literature review

Abstract

Back in the middle of the last century, it was believed that the introduction of an arthroscope into the spherical hip joint was almost impossible. Since then, hip arthroscopy has achieved some success, and the rate at which it has developed in recent years has directly corresponded to the rate of detection of conditions affecting the hip joint. Athletes and other young people with hip injuries are increasingly being diagnosed with an ever-evolving range of conditions. Many of these conditions have not been recognized before and therefore have not been treated. Hip arthroscopy, like any procedure, is not without risks. The procedure is not widely available, as it requires special equipment and requires a lot of time to study.
