Overview on Hip Arthroscopy:
Hip Arthroscopy originates from the Latin words 'arthro' meaning joint, and 'scope' which means to see. It means 'to see the hip joints'.

Small incisions are made for the infusion of the camera and the specific instruments depending on the case. Those who want to go for hip arthroscopy can have the following which can also be found in people suffering from arthritis such as:


Loose Bodies: Loose bits of cartilage are found floating inside the joint. These can be the cause of pain when caught during movement.

Labral Tears: Rims of cartilage have tears or might break away from the socket.

Chondral Damage: In Osteoarthritis, the frequent use and pressure on the cartilage may result in injury which may cause pain and discomfort.

Femora-acetabular Impingement: Extra bone lumps rub with the joints causing pain. It is said that Hip Arthroscopy will not benefit the patient in the relief of pain but may benefit him from the removal of the bones rubbing together. Diseases in their late stages cannot be managed by Arthroscopy.

This management cannot do wonders for sufferers with severe arthritis because it will only preserve the left cartilage. This is also not a guarantee in the relief of arthritic pain. Physical exams and X-ray can assess if an individual is fitting for the procedure.
