Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Henry Ellis from Scottish Rite for Children's Sports Medicine gives a talk on pediatric and adolescent hip arthroscopy. He discusses the developmental changes and considerations when caring for adolescent patients with hip pain or impingement. He explains the differences between the hip of a pediatric patient and an adult, including the growth plate and apophysis. Dr. Ellis also reviews recent literature on hip arthroscopy in adolescents and discusses the prevalence of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) labral tears in this age group. Non-operative treatment options are mentioned, as well as the outcomes of arthroscopic treatment for FAI. The development and treatment of CAM lesions are also discussed, along with prevention strategies and expanded indications for pediatric arthroscopy. Dr. Ellis emphasizes the need to protect young athletes and develop strategies to prevent long-term detrimental effects on the hip. Overall, pediatric and adolescent hip arthroscopy has excellent outcomes with limited complications, though further research is needed to improve understanding of hip impingement development in growing athletes.
