65125502 300x203 - Hip Cartilage TearThis intra-operative video shows the appearance of cartilage tears in the hip when viewed through a fiber optic camera during hip arthroscopy. A small probe is used to gently examine the labrum and cartilage to determine the extent of tearing in preparation for repair. The damage seen in this hip is characteristic of hip instability with superimposed hip impingement and gives rise to pain, mechanical symptoms, and giving way. If detected early, hip preservation techniques can be used to repair the torn cartilage and reshape/realign the hip joint through periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and/or derotational femoral osteotomy (DFO). These cutting edge treatment options help to restore stability, alleviate impingement, and prevent the need for hip replacement.
