TY - JOUR AU - Carsen, Sasha AU - Tourn, Diego AU - Marien, Meaghan AU - Smit, Kevin PY - 2018 TI - Arthroscopy of the pediatric hip JF - Annals of Joint; Vol 3 (June 2018): Annals of Joint Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - The use of hip arthroscopy in pediatric patients has grown considerably in recent years, and many pediatric and adolescent hip pathologies are now being addressed surgically using various arthroscopic techniques. Visualization of the articular surface through a minimally invasive approach makes it a particularly powerful tool, and surgical indications have grown to include everything from labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement through to septic arthritis and deformity. It is important for the pediatric hip arthroscopist to be comfortable with the necessary tools and techniques, but even more so to understand the technical limitations and situations where complementary open and reconstructive approaches are indicated. As techniques and equipment continue to improve and develop, we can expect pediatric hip arthroscopy to progressively expand in scope and popularity. UR - https://aoj.amegroups.org/article/view/4421
