Abstract

Hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery have experienced a tremendous upsurge in the past two decades. As imaging modalities, diagnostic abilities, and surgical instrumentation/implants continue to improve, indications for arthroscopic hip surgery are expanding at a rapid rate. Understanding the complex anatomy of the hip joint and appreciating the pathology responsible for both intra-articular and extra-articular pathology are crucial to selecting the appropriate patients and procedures. This is of utmost importance in the athletic patient population. Depending on the activity or sport, young athletes with hip pain may present in different ways with a variety of complaints. This chapter will discuss specific populations of interest in hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery. Diagnoses pertinent to this patient population will be discussed, with an emphasis on the unique injury patterns encountered in these patients.
