Hip arthroscopy: from the beginning to the future-an innovator's perspective KNEE SURGERY SPORTS TRAUMATOLOGY ARTHROSCOPY Glick, J. M., Valone, F., Safran, M. R. 2014; 22 (4): 714-721

Abstract

Hip arthroscopy is one of the fastest-growing areas of orthopaedic surgery. There are many reasons for this, including a better understanding of the pathophysiology of damage to the hip joint, improvements in imaging and technology advancements in arthroscopic instrumentation. This manuscript documents the historical development of hip arthroscopy, in general, as well as advances and ideas that have led to common techniques with regard to portal placement, traction and instrumentation. These advances have led to expanding indications for hip arthroscopy. This manuscript ends with some thoughts about the future of hip arthroscopy from the perspective of one of the leaders who helped shape hip arthroscopy, as it is performed today.
