Specialized Toolkit Series: Arthroscopic Hip Treatments-Arthroscopic Management

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The evaluation of failed hip arthroscopy explores reasons for persistent issues post-surgery. Failure may occur if patients experience ongoing pain, functional limitations, or can't return to sport despite proper rehab. Causes include inaccurate diagnosis, complex conditions, incomplete issue resolution, patient factors like arthritis, and inadequate rehab. Diagnostic tools like imaging and injections help determine intraarticular problems and inform further treatment. A case of a 41-year-old female with persistent pain led to a decision for revision surgery after conservative treatments failed. Preoperative patient selection and counseling on recovery expectations are crucial for successful outcomes.
