What is a hip arthroscopy?

Hip Arthroscopy is a microsurgical technique that allows repairing injuries without opening the joint

Arthroscopy consists of introducing a 3-4 mm microchamber into the joint to visualize the inside of the joint, diagnose the existing lesions, and correct them during the surgical procedure.

What Can I Expect from Hip Arthroscopy?

Every patient is unique, and the details of hip arthroscopy procedures can vary

In general, hip arthroscopy is performed under general anesthesia. You will be asleep during the procedure and you will not remember your surgery.

The length of the procedure largely depends upon the type of procedure being performed. Most procedures last one to two hours. Hip arthroscopy is often performed on an outpatient basis, but sometimes an overnight hospital stay is required.
