Complications of arthroscopy of the hip

Abstract: A lthough arthroscopy of the hip is being carried out increasingly, little is known about the rate of associated complications. We describe a prospective study of 640 consecutive procedures in which a consistent technique was used. The overall complication rate was 1.6%. Complications, none of which was major or long-term, included transient palsy of the sciatic and femoral nerves, perineal injury, bleeding from the portal wounds, trochanteric bursitis and intra-articular breakage of the instrument. We believe… Show more

“…Regarding immediate postoperative complications, our study was in line with other reports (23242526). However, with respect to late complications, we found a higher frequency of HO than reported by other authors, which was statistically associated with the outside-in access.…”

“…In the patients of the present study, the maximum force during distraction averaged 80 kgf (785 N), and the holding force required to maintain sufficient distraction averaged 57 kgf (559 N), both of which are higher than values previously reported in the literature. Griffin et al 13 reported that a force of 200 to 300 N was needed to obtain adequate joint distraction to access the hip, although the authors did not mention whether this was the peak force or holding force. Ellenrieder et al 10 specifically measured the "initial" traction force at the point of at least 10 mm of joint distraction and reported a mean value of 477 N. As the peak force was not recorded by those authors, this value may be compared with the holding force in the current study.…”
