Introduction

Hip arthroscopy has become popular over the past decade and, with technical advances in imaging diagnostics,¹ in understanding the physiopathology or in surgical techniques, several applications have been described.^{2 , 3} It was first described by Burman in 1931 (in Byrd et al.⁴ ), who considered that the capacity of this technique for enabling viewing was extremely limited and that this method was potentially iatro-genic. During the 1980s and 1990s, there were developments in traction techniques that facilitated access to the central compartment.^{5 , 6} Since then, better understanding of the arthroscopic anatomy of the peripheral compartment and use of arthroscopy without traction have provided an environment that is favorable toward wide-ranging joint exploration.⁷ Once the understanding of the arthroscopic anatomy of these compartments had become well established, there was a natural expansion of endoscopic exploration to other compartments around the hip, such as the peritrochanteric, subgluteal and medial spaces of the hip.^{8 - 10}

The arthroscopic anatomy is already well known.¹¹ Multiple portals are possible and are well defined with regard to their safety,¹² as is the anatomical technique in relation to preservation of the vascularization of the femoral neck.^{13 , 14}

Indications

Lesions of the acetabular labrum

This is one of the commonest indications.¹⁵ The labrum functions as a joint seal, helps in producing and enabling circulation of the synovial fluid and allows continual lubrication of the joint.¹⁶ In addition to its proprioceptive function, it adds stability to the joint because of the vacuum phenomenon, deepens the hip joint, provides greater uniformity of pressure distribution and increases the contact surface between the femoral head and the acetabulum by 22%.^{17 , 18}

Lesions of the acetabular labrum may occur due to direct trauma during sports activities. In fact, these lesions rarely occur in the absence of morphological alterations to bones.¹⁹ Thus, the arthroscopic results from labral debridement alone, without treating the underlying bone dysmorphism, are unsatisfactory.²⁰ In most cases, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) makes the acetabular labrum the first structure to fail.²¹

These lesions may compromise the load absorption and stabilization function of the acetabular labrum and may lead to arthrosis, as also found with meniscal lesions.²² Finite element studies^{16 , 17} have demonstrated that if the sealant function of the labrum is compromised, the mechanical demands on the underlying cartilage are increased, along with shearing forces, which may contribute toward causing injury due to cartilage fatigue and subsequent arthrosis.²³

In addition to FAI, labral lesions may occur due to repetitive microtrauma, of either high or low-energy nature, especially through hip torsion mechanisms. Repetitive activities, whether in sports or not, which force the hip beyond the habitual range of motion, especially into hyperflexion of the hip, may cause injuries. These mechanisms may include activities such as performing leg press exercises, ballet, yoga, spinning exercise, other gym activities, dancing, working in a squatting position and others.^{24 - 28}

The clinical condition generally consists of anterior pain in the hip, which may irradiate to the groin, trochanteric region or posterior region of the hip. One frequent clinical sign is the "C" sign, in which the patient points out the location of the pain in his hip with his hand in a "C" shape, in transverse orientation over the hip and trochanteric region, which denotes pain of intra-articular origin.²⁹

In the treatment, the major objective is to preserve as much of the viable tissue as possible, with selective debridement, reinsertion or labral reconstruction. Studies comparing clinical results from debridement versus labral repair have demonstrated that the best results are obtained through repair.^{30 , 31} Evidence that labral reconstruction, using either autologous or homologous tissue, may present good results in patients with previous labral resection, ossified labra or hypotrophic labra has also started to appear.^{32 - 34}

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)

Ganz recognized that FAI could lead to development of labral lesions and early arthrosis in non-dysplastic hips.^{35 , 36} This concept is dynamic, based on movement more than axial loading of the hip. It may result from morphological abnormalities that affect the acetabulum and proximal femur, or it may occur in patients who subject their hips to extreme and supraphysiological ranges of motion. Depending on the underlying cause, FAI may result in lesions of the labrum and acetabular cartilage.³⁷ After the injury has occurred, synovial fluid starts to circulate through the lesion, in a continuous valvular mechanism. If the low potential for healing in the intra-articular environment is added to this, these hydrodynamic alterations and the bone dysmorphism will perpetuate the acetabular chondral lesion and its delamination of the sub-chondral bone, until the compensatory mechanisms cease to operate, which leads to arthrosis.

Two distinct types of femoroacetabular impingement have been identified,³⁵ and they are frequently combined.³⁸ The first type is characterized by linear impingement of the acetabular rim against the femoral head-neck junction, because of local acetabular supercoverage (e.g. acetabular retroversion) or overall supercoverage (e.g. deep thigh or acetabular protrusion), called a pincer or a pinching effect. The second type occurs with compression of the non-spherical extension of the femoral head into the acetabular cavity, which is called Cam.

Changes to the femoral and acetabular anatomical format may also result from childhood diseases such as Legg-Calvé-Perthes, epiphysiolysis, changes in inclination and acetabular or femoral version.³⁹

In relation to the clinical condition, patients complain of anterior and lateral pain in the hip. In the anterior impingement test, which is done with maximum internal rotation and 90^◦ of passive flexion of the hip, diminished internal rotation of the hip and associated pain are observed. Flexion and adduction of the hip lead to conflict between the femoral neck and the acetabular rim. Internal rotation and associated adduction cause shearing forces in the acetabular labrum, similar to those in the menisci of the knees, and stimulate the nerve ends. This causes acute inguinal pain in patients with a torn or degenerated labrum²¹ (Fig. 1).

The arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement consists of elimination of the bone conflict and correction of the deformities, both on the acetabular side and on the femoral side, along with treatment of lesions of the chondrolabral complex by means of osteoplasty of the proximal femur, osteoplasty of the acetabular supercoverage and refixation, reconstruction or labral debridement and treatment of the chondral lesions.^{40 , 41}

Pyoarthritis

Early surgical intervention is essential for obtaining good results from treating septic arthritis of the hip. Arthroscopy has advantages, such as smaller incisions, shorter recovery

time, better viewing and effective irrigation of the joint, the possibility of implanting continuous irrigation catheters, the possibility of collecting material for culturing and anatomopathological examination, and minimal morbidity.^{42 - 47} Although there have been few studies on arthroscopic treatment of pyoarthritis in adults, good results have been obtained provided that the intervention was early.^{48 , 49} Among children, some comparative studies have demonstrated the superiority of arthroscopic drainage over open drainage. The possibility of drainage of acute infection also exists with total hip arthroplasty.⁵⁰

Arthrosis

There is some controversy regarding use of arthroscopy on the hip in the presence of osteoarthrosis. The results from treating FAI in the presence of advanced arthrosis, with loss of joint space, are not good.^{51 , 52} On the other hand, McCarthy and Lee⁵³ described good results from debridement of osteophytes and degenerated labra in cases of arthrosis in the initial stage, i.e. without loss of joint space on simple radiographs (Tönnis classification type 0 and 1).⁵⁴ Joint pinching greater than 50% compared with the contralateral side, or less than 2 mm of joint space remaining, along with limited range of motion,⁴¹ is a poor prognostic factor.⁵¹

In the light of poor results and high rates of conversion to hip arthroplasty within a three-year period, treatment for hips with arthrosis should have very restricted indications.^{55 , 56}

Free bodies

Hip arthroscopy is an excellent tool for removing free bodies from the hip joints, which could be bone or osteochondral fragments resulting from hip dislocation, firearm projectiles, synovial chondromatosis, broken guidewires or other types of foreign bodies of joints,^{57 - 64} thus enabling effective and complete removal of the free bodies, synovectomy and rapid rehabilitation^{64 - 69} (Fig. 2).

Tumors and other conditions

Hip arthroscopy can be used in selected cases. It is also an option for treating pigmented villonodular synovitis, synovial chondromatosis and osteoid osteoma of the hip.^{64 , 70 - 73}

Impingement of the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle/internal prominence

Compression of the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle in the anterior capsule of the hip and consequently in the acetabular labrum may cause labral lesions in the anteromedial region and even bone deformity in the femoral head, which is atypical (Fig. 3).

Audible and/or palpable internal prominences may be associated with the anterior region of the hip. For selected patients, debridement or labral repair together with tenotomy of the psoas may produce good results in patients without any improvement through conservative treatment. Internal prominences are characterized by prominence of the tendon of the iliopsoas over the iliopectineal eminence. In the absence of improvement through conservative treatment, tenotomy of the psoas can be performed, either as an intracapsular procedure or at the level of the lesser trochanter, with satisfactory results.^{74 , 75}

Dysplasia

Patients with dysplasia generally have hypertrophy of the acetabular labrum due to shearing of the femoral head, caused by lack of acetabular coverage. This shearing gives rise to excessive mechanical demands at the chondrolabral transition and myxoid degeneration of the acetabular labrum and/or deinsertion at the acetabular rim.⁷⁶

Some care should be taken in indicating arthroscopy for a dysplastic hip. Capsulotomy and labral disorder may result in

progression of the arthrosis, worsening of the pain and joint instability. In cases of dysplasia with a Wiberg center-edge angle⁷⁷ >20^◦, arthroscopy can be used for repairing the labral lesion. In cases of angles smaller than 20^◦, arthroscopy is contraindicated and can be used as a coadjuvant for labral repair, during or after treatment aimed at correcting the acetabular coverage.⁷⁸

Chondral lesions

Chondral lesions of the hip may be acute, chronic or degenerative, with partial or full depth. They may result from repetitive trauma, direct trauma, FAI, dysplasia or osteonecrosis of the femoral head.³⁸

There are several options for arthroscopic treatment. Among these are microfracturing, debridement through abrasion, osteochondral autologous transplantation (mosaicplasty or osteochondral autologous transfer system, OATS), autologous transplantation of chondrocytes, autologous chondrogenesis induced by matrix, fresh osteochondral transplantation and osteochondroplasty of peripheral lesions of the acetabular rim.^{79 - 82} The long-term results and superiority of one method over the others have not yet been established.⁸³ It is important to emphasize that the indication for arthroscopy in cases of osteonecrosis may be to evaluate chondral and labral lesions and assist in surgery and staging, and not as specific therapy through this method. Its indication should be limited.^{84 , 85}

Synovectomy and joint biopsy

Hip arthroscopy can be used for synovectomy and synovial biopsies, and it is frequently indicated in cases of rheumatological conditions and done on an outpatient basis.^{65 , 86}

Instability

Traumatic

Hip instability may result from low-energy trauma with sub-luxation of the hip, or comprise dislocation due to high-energy trauma. Removal of free bodies is the main indication,⁸⁷ but arthroscopy can also be used for treating chondral and labral lesions.⁸⁸

Non-traumatic

Hip instability may result from capsule-ligament laxity and consequent injury of the chondrolabral or osteochondral complex of the acetabulum. Patients who have diseases of the connective tissue, such as Ehlers-Danlos disease or idiopathic capsule-ligament laxity, or who perform activities that require range of motion greater than what is physiologically normal, such as ballet dancers, may develop symptomatic hip instability.^{89 - 91}

The clinical picture generally comprises anterior and/or posterior hip pain, which may be associated with mechanical symptoms and a sensation of being "out of place". Excessive external rotation of the hip when in dorsal decubitus, and other signs of extreme laxity may be present, with or without associated pain.⁹²

Fig.3

The arthroscopic treatment consists of repairing the lesion of the chondrolabral or osteochondral complex. There is the possibility of tensioning by means of sutures or by using radio frequencies on the anterior capsule, with the aim of diminishing the anterior instability.⁸⁹

Aid for treating hip fractures

It can be used as an aid for fixing fractures of the acetabulum and femoral head.^{93 - 96} It is a tool for viewing the reduction, analyzing screw penetration and removing free bodies.

Injuries of the round ligament

The round ligament is a potential cause of hip pain.⁹⁷ It may become torn through traumatic causes or instability.⁹⁸ Arthro-scopic debridement may lead to pain relief.⁹⁹ The possibility of reconstruction using a graft is described in the literature,¹⁰⁰ but the long-term results are unknown.

Post-arthroplasty

Cases of persistent pain subsequent to arthroplasty can be investigated and/or treated by means of arthroscopy. The indications include: tendinitis of the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle due to impingement at the edge of the acetabular component, acute prosthetic infection, investigation of breakage or loosening of the polyethylene, pseudotumors, corrosion at the head-neck junction of the prosthesis and instability.^{50 , 101 - 107}

Peritrochanteric space

Extra-articular endoscopy has evolved over recent years, especially through studies on conditions that cause trochanteric pain syndrome and deep gluteal pain syndrome.⁸

Deep gluteal pain

Patients with deep gluteal pain generally have a history of trauma in this region and complaints of pain while seated, sciatic pain and paresthesia of the affected limb due to compression of the sciatic nerve proximally or distally to the

gluteal region. Piriform syndrome can be considered to be one of the causes of deep gluteal pain.^{108 , 109} Arthroscopic neurolysis of the sciatic nerve has been described in cases of failure of conservative treatment, with good results.^{10 , 110}

Trochanteric pain syndrome

Trochanteric pain syndrome is the term used to describe chronic pain in the lateral region of the hip. There are several causal factors, such as injuries of the tendon of the gluteus medius and minimus muscles, trochanteric bursitis and external snapping.

Injuries of the gluteus medius and minimus

Injuries to the gluteus medius and minimus are analogous to injuries of the rotator cuff of the shoulder, which are both associated with advanced age and degenerative alterations of the tendons.^{111 , 112} The clinical condition generally consists of lateral pain in the hip that does not respond to conservative treatment and may be associated with weakness of the abductors and a positive Trendelenburg sign. If conservative treatment fails, endoscopic repair of the tendons affected can be performed.^{113 , 114}

Lateral (external) snapping

External snapping is defined as an audible or palpable snapping sensation in the trochanteric region during flexion and extension of the hip, commonly observed among long-distance runners. It occurs when the posterior part of the iliotibial band or the anterior part of the tendon of the gluteus maximus slides over the trochanter during hip flexion. When the hip is then extended, these structures may collide against the greater trochanter and cause audible, palpable and painful snapping. If conservative treatment fails, endoscopic treatment can be performed with the objective of diminishing the tension of these structures above the greater trochanter. Ilizaliturri et al.¹¹⁵ described creation of a defect in the iliotibial band above the greater trochanter, with 90% resolution of the snapping and pain. Polesello et al.¹¹⁶ described endoscopic tenotomy of the gluteus maximus, with 88% resolution of the snapping and lateral pain.

Bursectomy

The clinical picture of trochanteric bursitis comprises chronic pain over the lateral region of the greater trochanter. Pain on palpation is characteristic. In cases that are refractory to conservative treatment, endoscopic bursectomy can be performed.^{117 - 120} It is important to emphasize that the diagnosis of trochanteric bursitis needs to have special attention, given that because of lack of knowledge of the differential diagnoses, other causes of pain in the region may go unnoticed.^{8 , 121}

Hamstring tendons

Hamstring injuries may range from muscle distension to complete avulsion. Different open techniques for reinsertion have been described, although the possibility of arthroscopic reinsertion also exists.^{122 , 123} It has been reported that early repair has better results than late repair, especially among high-performance athletes.¹²⁴

Adjuvant in femoral or periacetabular osteotomy for dysplasia and complex deformities of the hip

There is a discussion in the literature regarding the indications for hip arthroscopy before or after osteotomy, especially in relation to Ganz's periacetabular osteotomy. Those who advocate arthroscopy state that associated treat-ment for joint lesions would be beneficial.^{125 , 126} On the other hand, it has been observed that a large proportion of the patients who undergo periacetabular osteotomy remain asymptomatic after the operation, without the need for any new intervention.^{126 , 127}

Children

Hip arthroscopy for children has gained prominent space over recent years.^{39 , 128 - 131} Its indications include: investigation of the pediatric hip; biopsy; joint cleaning; septic arthritis⁴³ ; hip dysplasia, which could be for the purposes of joint cleaning to facilitate reduction, assisting in pelvic osteotomy, exploring joint incongruence, performing debridement of the labrum and cartilage fragments, or releasing fibrosis after the operation; Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, for removal of free bodies, synovectomy, debridement of the round ligament, labrum or cartilage fragments and treatment of femoroacetabular impingement; tenotomy of the iliopsoas; epiphysiolysis, to treat FAI or aid in removing broken screws⁵⁹ ; and trapezoidal osteotomy of the femoral neck.¹³²
