Abstract

Abstract Although first described in the 1930’s, it was not until the late 20th century that hip arthroscopy became a well-recognized procedure. Correct patient positioning and portal placement are critical, and failure of either may result in inability to access the joint or damage to important local neurovascular structures. In the hands of an experienced surgeon and anaesthetist the risks are small, but attention to detail is critical. The future of hip arthroscopy is exciting and as the scientific evidence builds it is likely to be an important adjunct to more traditional open hip procedures.
