Minimally invasive diagnostic hip arthroscopy procedure
Diagnostic hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed to examine the hip joint and diagnose any underlying conditions or injuries. The procedure involves the insertion of a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the hip joint through a small incision. The arthroscope allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a monitor and identify any abnormalities or damage to the joint, such as tears in the labrum or cartilage. During the procedure, the surgeon may also take tissue samples for further analysis. Diagnostic hip arthroscopy is typically performed under general anesthesia and is considered a safe and effective diagnostic tool for hip joint conditions. Following the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort and swelling, but can typically resume normal activities within a few days.
