Arthroscopic surgery of the hip, âhip scopeâ, is a minimally invasive procedure performed through tiny incisions, using a small, pencil-sized camera inside the joint to visualize the damaged structures. A variety of instruments repair torn tissue, remove bone spurs, re-shape abnormal bones and treat injured cartilage.
A hemiarthroplasty is an operation that is used most commonly to treat a fractured hip. The operation is similar to a total hip replacement, but it involves only half of the hip. (Hemi means half, and arthroplasty means joint replacement.) The hemiarthroplasty replaces only the ball portion of the hip joint, not the socket portion. In a total hip replacement, the socket is also replaced.
