Specialized Toolkit Series: Arthroscopic Hip Treatments-Hip Arthroscopic Anatomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Jorge Chala demonstrates hip arthroscopy anatomy, focusing on the central compartment initially. He identifies key structures like the anterior acetabular wall, labrum, and cotyloid fossa, which contains the ligamentum teres. The demonstration highlights the anterior acetabular rim and stellate crease. Transitioning to the peripheral compartment, Chala locates the iliofemoral ligament for capsulotomy creation and examines the femoral head-neck junction. Retinacular vessels and the medial femoral circumflex artery's branches are observed near the greater trochanter. The procedure concludes by showcasing the suction seal between the acetabulum and femoral head facilitated by the repaired labrum.
