Background: In recent years arthroscopic interventions of the hip joint have become increasingly more frequent. An advantage of the procedure is that open surgery can be avoided in many cases by using minimally invasive procedures. The spectrum of indications is becoming increasingly broader and more differentiated. Complications are rare.
Material And Methods: According to the types of complications 13,154 cases from institutions having conducted approximately 470 hip arthroscopies per year between 2008 and 2012 were collated, observed and analysed. Intraoperative or postoperative complications were taken into account.
Results: According to our definition, the overall complication ratio came to 6.3%. Relatively frequent complications were damage caused by inadequate setup, nerve lesions and broken instruments. Severe complications such as vascular lesions, intra-or postoperative fractures, infections and avascular necrosis are rare.
Conclusion: In hip arthroscopy special attention has to be paid to patient positioning, traction performing and portal establishing. This procedure performed by an experienced surgeon resulted in a low ratio of complications.

Evaluation of Outcomes Following Arthroscopic Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome Across Different Surgeons, Surgical Techniques, and Postoperative Protocols: A Multi-institutional Study.
Orthop J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is frequently treated arthroscopically with osteoplasty and labral repair. Surgical preferences vary in terms of equipment, technique, and postoperative protocol. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are valuable tools to assess outcomes across different institutions.

Background: Ice hockey players have a high rate of hip pathology, which can lead to hip arthroscopy. Previous studies have not utilized team-based advanced performance statistics in the setting of hip arthroscopy in National Hockey League (NHL) players.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to use team-based advanced performance statistics to evaluate postoperative performance after hip arthroscopy in NHL players in comparison with their preoperative performance and matched controls of uninjured skaters.
Revision Hip Arthroscopy Terrible Triad: Capsular Deficiency, Labral Deficiency, and Femoral Over-Resection.
Arthroscopy

The Steadman Clinic, Vail, Colorado, U.S.A.; The Steadman Philippon Research Institute, Vail, Colorado, U.S.A.. Electronic address:
Revision hip arthroscopy is increasingly common and most often performed to treat residual femoroacetabular impingement caused by cam under-resection. Unfortunately, other pathologies encountered during revision hip arthroscopy are more difficult to treat, including capsular deficiency, labral deficiency, adhesion formation, and/or cam over-resection. When encountered, these various pathologies should be comprehensibly corrected with the goals of restoring anatomy, re-establishing the hip fluid seal, and ensuring impingement-free motion.

Purpose: The learning curve of a single surgeon performing hip arthroscopy is reported to be steep, but, to date, the inflection point after which procedures are more successful is still unknown. The aim of this study was to design a learning curve focused on clinical outcomes, complications and revision/conversion rates.
Methods: Seventy-one hip arthroscopies performed for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) by a single surgeon, with a minimum follow-up of 5 years, were considered.
Arthroscopic Bone Grafting of Deep Acetabular Cysts in Hip Preservation Surgery: A Matched Case-Control Study.
Orthop J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, School of Medicine, University of Colorado, Aurora, Colorado, USA.
Background: Acetabular subchondral cysts are commonly identified signs of joint degeneration and arthritis. This pathology is generally considered a relative contraindication for hip preservation surgery.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of arthroscopic bone grafting for the treatment of acetabular subchondral cysts.
