APEX Managing Modern Athletic Hip Injuries-Online Didactic (September 2021)-Peripheral Compartment First Access and Technique

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a lecture given by a doctor on the preferred compartment first technique for accessing and operating on the hip joint. The doctor explains that there are three different techniques used worldwide to access the hip joint: the central compartment first technique, the peripheral compartment first technique, and the extra-articular first technique. The doctor discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, focusing on the peripheral compartment first technique as their preferred method. They emphasize the importance of maintaining visibility in the peripheral compartment and avoiding complications such as scuffing the cartilage or causing hip instability. The doctor provides a step-by-step demonstration of the peripheral compartment first technique, including the placement of portals and the resection of a cam deformity. They also discuss the importance of labral repair and avoiding re-entry of anchors. The doctor concludes by referring viewers to a published article for further information and encouraging them to contact them for any questions or future visits to Germany.
