Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery in which an arthroscope - a thin, flexible instrument with a camera and light source - is inserted into the hip through small incisions. This technique is used to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as removing loose bodies in the joint, repairing damaged cartilage or treating inflammatory conditions.

Hip arthroscopy is usually performed under general anesthesia and usually requires only a short hospital stay. After surgery, the patient may need to use crutches for a period of time and may require physical therapy to regain full function of the hip.

Hip arthroscopy is often used in young and athletic patients who suffer from hip pain that does not respond to conservative treatments. However, it is important to note that not all types of hip problems can be treated by arthroscopy, and the success of the surgery depends on several factors, such as the severity of the injury and the patient's rehabilitation.
