Abstract
Through continuous improvement and advancement of technology over the last 10 years, hip arthroscopy has developed into a standard orthopedic procedure and this has greatly expanded the range of indications. The main indications for hip arthroscopy include any disorder of the synovial membrane, damage to the labrum acetabulare, lesions of the ligament of the head of the femur, loose bodies, degenerative and traumatic cartilage lesions and especially disorders of the joint mechanism caused by femoroacetabular impingement. Increasingly, endoscopic procedures additionally allow the treatment of periarticular pathologies. Hip arthroscopy is limited in particular due to the difficult anatomy, a large distance from the skin to joint cavity and the problematic visualization of the posteromedial joint area. Furthermore, a time-limited distraction of the joint must be considered in the choice of therapy.
