Procedure

A capsulotomy is typically made through the iliofemoral ligament once the anterolateral and midanterior portals are established, allowing better access to the hip joint. This is performed with a retractable cannulated knife and/or CapsuleCut™ disposable blade, shavers, and radiofrequency devices.

Child (D)

Under both fluoroscopic and direct visualization, hip joint access can be facilitated using the spinal needles and guide wires included in the Hip Arthroscopy Disposable Kits as well as the instrumentation included in the Hip Arthroscope System Set.

Hip Joint Access

To resect the trochanteric bursa, introduce the arthroscope deep to the IT band and make a small window. Most of the pathology lies just posterior to the greater trochanter. A diamond shape is often made to release the IT band to treat external snapping hip syndrome.
