Hip arthroscopy is around the outside of the hip (greater trochanter), although inflammation of iliopsoas (the muscle which passes directly over the front of the hip) can also occur. As with all arthroscopic procedures, because the hip arthroscopy is undertaken with fluid in the joint, there is a risk that some can escape into the surrounding tissues during surgery and cause local swelling. Occasionally, this causes skin blistering. However, swelling usually resolves after 24 hours without intervention. Very rarely some of this irrigation fluid can track upwards into the abdomen. Should this occur, the patient may complain of back pain immediately after
