Hip arthroscopy surgery is used to treat var­i­ous hip con­di­tions, most com­mon­ly labral tears and hip impinge­ment. The pro­ce­dure is per­formed by an orthopaedic sur­geon who uti­lizes a small cam­era to guide sur­gi­cal tools that are insert­ed into the hip joint through small inci­sions. Hip arthroscopy surgery is a less-inva­sive alter­na­tive to open surgery, pro­vid­ing less pain and stiff­ness in the affect­ed joint and result­ing in short­er recov­ery times.
