Specialized Toolkit Series: Arthroscopic Hip Treatments-Contraindications

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The lecture on hip arthroscopy contraindications emphasizes shared decision-making for surgery candidates, emphasizing that contraindications are relative, not definitive. Advances in equipment and techniques have improved safety, yet patient outcomes depend on comprehensive care. Contraindications are based on medical, structural, technical, and social factors. Medical issues like mental health or chronic diseases, structural problems such as severe deformities or osteoarthritis, lack of technical equipment or experience, and inadequate social support or recovery plans pose risks. Diagnostic arthroscopy can aid in larger procedures. Patient selection requires a thorough understanding of these factors.
