Hip Arthroscopy

Hip Arthroscopy is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the hip joint. During this procedure, a small camera, known as an arthroscope, is inserted through small incisions in the hip. This allows orthopedic surgeons to visualize the interior of the hip joint and address issues such as labral tears, impingement, cartilage damage, and synovitis. Hip arthroscopy is particularly useful for conditions that may not be fully evident through other imaging techniques. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure often results in reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery times, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery. Therapeutic interventions during hip arthroscopy may include repairing or trimming damaged tissues, reshaping the bone to alleviate impingement, and addressing various sources of hip pain and dysfunction. This technique has become increasingly popular for managing a range of hip joint disorders, offering patients an effective and less invasive alternative to traditional surgical approaches.
