1. Patient Set Up

1. Patient Set Up

• Adequate traction requires approximately 10mm of distraction across the joint.

• Careful attention to padding is critical.

2. Access – Portals

1.Anterior

2.Anterolateral

3.Posterolateral

Greatest Risk →→ Anterior Portal

– Avg. 3 mm from a branch of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve

Primal Pictures Limited

2. Access: Expanded Portal Placement• Palpate and Outline:

– Greater Trochanter– Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS)

• Portal Placement– Anterolateral Portal (AL)

• 1cm superior and anterior to GT

– Posterolateral (PL)• 1cm superior and posterior to GT

– Anterior Portal (AP)• In line with AL portal• 1 cm lateral to ASIS

– Mid-Anterior Portal (MAP)

– Proximal Mid-Anterior Portal (PMAP)

Portal Safety

1. The Mid-Anterior and Anterior portals pass in close proximity to a small terminal branch of the ascending LCFA

2. Greatest risk still comes from the proximity of the anterior portal to the LFCN

– A slightly more lateral location may provide some

protective benefit

Safe ZoneRobertson et al, Arthroscopy 2008.

• The findings from this study seem to support the concept of a relative neurovascular safe zone for arthroscopic access to the hip joint within the outlined parameters.

3. Capsule Cut

3. Capsule Cut – IA EvaluationCam Injury• Cam delamination• Loss of normal attachment of labrum to transition zone.

Rim Injury• Capsular sided injury to the labrum / capsule against the rim lesion

4. Rim Preparation

Rim Exposure

• Severe rim inflammation around the rim lesion

Rim Decompression

• Outline the rim lesion prior to decompression
