Operative Hip Arthroscopy

Abstract

As hip arthroscopy becomes more common, it is vital that accurate knowledge of the anatomy of the hip and how to establish the common portals is thoroughly understood. The hip joint proper can be divided into two compartments separated by the acetabular labrum (central and peripheral). The central compartment includes the acetabular fossa, ligamentum teres, lunate cartilage, and articular surface of the femoral head in the weight-bearing area. The peripheral compartment includes the non-weight-bearing cartilage of the femoral head, the femoral neck with its synovial folds, and the joint capsule. A thorough description of the important anatomical landmarks will be discussed in this chapter.
