Abstract

Arthroscopy of the pediatric and adolescent hip has traditionally not been performed because of the complexity of surgery and the consideration of the physis in the skeletally immature. Arthroscopy offers less morbidity than traditional open techniques, and evolving techniques have widened the indications. Hip arthroscopy is currently performed on a variety of diagnosis, including slipped capital femoral epiphysis, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, and femoroacetabular impingement. As our understanding and long-term outcomes are refined, the ability to alter disease outcome from arthroscopy will increase.
