Nashville Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.

Published: May 2003

Hip arthroscopy performed with the patient in the supine position is an effective, reproducible procedure. Advantages include ease and simplicity of patient positioning, use of a standard fracture table, operating room layout that is user friendly, familiar joint orientation, and optimal access for all portal placements. All technical aspects of performing the procedure are detailed, including necessary equipment, patient positioning, landmarks, portal placement, and arthroscopic anatomy. Effective and safe performance of this procedure is dependent on careful attention to every detail of the operation.

Over-resection of the femoral cam lesion in patients having hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome has been considered irreversible. While cam under-resection is a technical complication of femoroacetabular impingement surgery to be avoided, avoiding this at the expense of over-resection of the proximal femur is of great concern.
