Abstract
As recently as the middle of the 20th century, arthroscope insertion in a ball-and-socket hip joint was thought to be almost impossible. Hip arthroscopy has evolved greatly since then, and its current development rate is closely related to the detection rate of hip joint disorders. Athletes and other young patients with hip joint injuries are increasingly being diagnosed with constantly evolving disorders. Many of these conditions were previously undiagnosed and hence remained untreated. Hip arthroscopy, like any other procedure, has its risks. This procedure is not widely available, as it requires special equipment and extensive training.
