Specialized Toolkit Series: Arthroscopic Hip Treatments-Synovial Disorders of the Hip

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This presentation describes an arthroscopic approach utilizing puncture capsulotomy to treat hip synovial disorders, such as synovial chondromatosis, osteochondromatosis, and PVNS. These disorders can lead to joint degeneration if untreated. The video demonstrates a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique, which improves functional outcomes, reduces recurrence rates, and minimizes complications compared to traditional open synovectomy. The procedure involves thorough inspection and meticulous excision of lesions using specific portals, ensuring no tumor spread. Previous studies show high patient satisfaction and low recurrence rates, highlighting the efficacy of this approach.
