Hip Arthroscopy Surgery in Augusta, KS

A hip arthroscopy, sometimes called a “hip scope,” is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure in which an orthopedic surgeon uses an arthroscope to examine the inside of the hip joint. This procedure allows the surgeon to diagnose the cause of hip pain or other problems in the joint. Some hip conditions may also be treated arthroscopically. To perform arthroscopic hip surgery in these cases, the surgeon makes additional small incisions (usually one or two) to create access points for various arthroscopic needles, scalpels, or other special surgical tools.
