- Sudden leg – giving way
- Clicking within the hip joint
- Pain in the hip/groin.
- Discomfort in moving the hip in certain positions.
- Stiffness of the hip joint.
- Difficulty walking or running.
- Arthritis: Sometimes, the primary stages of arthritis can be associated with loose bodies or flaps of articular cartilage. Debriding such abnormal areas can often improve symptoms for a short time, until a more definitive treatment procedure.
- For Diagnosis or treatment: Occasionally, investigations such as CT and MRI will not be able to identify the cause of a problem in the hip. In such special cases, hip arthroscopy is very helpful to view, locate, diagnose, or treat the condition.
- Biopsy: For certain conditions of the hip, a sample of tissue or bone biopsy from the hip area is taken to be analyzed. Hip arthroscopy allows this to be done quite easily. Accurate diagnostic results play a crucial role in an effective treatment plan.
- Femoracetabular impingement:This is a disorder or a condition when there is an abnormal shape to the femoral head or the acetabulum (socket) and at times both. This can give rise to damage to the hip joint. It may be possible to deal with some aspects of such condition arthroscopically by trimming abnormal bone structures from the femoral head/neck junction.
- Torn Labrum:The labrum of the acetabulum is a cartilage rim of the joint that helps provide a suction seal for the fluid in the joint. For certain complications, the labrum can get torn and lead to episodes of acute pain in the hip or the feeling of the leg giving way. Such torn segments of the cartilage can be trimmed back to healthy tissue.
- Loose bodies:Loose pieces of cartilage or bone can sometimes form in the joint for a variety of reasons. Such small pieces can get caught between the bone surfaces leading to pain. These can be very effectively removed by hip arthroscopy.
- Ligamentum Teres injury:For a few people, a strong ligament with the hip joint can get torn. This leads to severe pain, and such conditions can be trimmed back arthroscopically so that it does not cause problems.
Post-operative care is very crucial for a quick recovery. Following hip arthroscopy, you will have to spend a night in hospital. You will most likely have to use crutches for a few weeks following surgery. Full recovery can take up to 6-9 months of time. To help aid your recovery, regular exercises are highly recommended, according to your physiotherapist’s suggestions. Regular exercise can also help you to return to normal activities as soon as possible.
