Hip Arthroscopy

Hip arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows doctors to view the hip joint through 2-3 small incisions (cuts) through the skin. Arthroscopy is used to diagnose and treat a wide range of hip problems.

During hip arthroscopy, your surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into your hip joint. The camera displays pictures on a video monitor, and your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments.
