Area of Focus: Hip, Knee & Lower Extremity

Intended for orthopaedic surgeons beginning a hip arthroscopy practice, as well as those who want a more compre­hensive understanding of the procedure, this program demonstrates the procedure from the induction of anesthesia to the establishment of the two main intra­articular working portals. Discusses patient positioning, surgeon-directed traction, intra-operative fluoroscopy, preparation of the surgical site, and the anatomically guided placement of portal sites. Highlights risks and rationale.
