Ever wonder what actually happens inside the operating room during a hip arthroscopy? Join Dr. Patrick S. Buckley, sports medicine surgeon at University Orthopaedic Associates (UOA), as he takes you step-by-step through a minimally invasive hip arthroscopy procedure to repair a labral tear and correct hip impingement.
In this video, Dr. Buckley explains:
– How specialized, postless operating tables reduce nerve complications.
– The technique of gaining access to the joint through tiny, pinky-sized incisions.
– How a motorized burr removes bone overgrowth (pincer deformity).
– How small, suture-based anchors are placed to repair the labrum and re-establish the critical “suction seal” of the hip.
– The importance of capsular closure at the end of the procedure.
If you are experiencing chronic groin pain, hip catching, or have been diagnosed with a labral tear or hip impingement, schedule a consultation with our sports medicine team at UOA!
