Nonarthritic, trochanteric pain is a commonly encountered orthopaedic condition. Although most patients respond to conservative treatment, those with recalcitrant symptoms may require surgical intervention. Studies have successfully explored the use of the arthroscope in the treatment of these patients. We report a new technique for an arthroscopic approach to the peritrochanteric space. Our technique involves the use of a balloon trocar for fast and improved dissection and visualization of the peritrochanteric compartment in hip arthroscopy.
