Introduction:
The diseases that affect the hip joint are numerous, and among the variants of surgical treatment is arthroscopy, which has gained great popularity today due to its advantages.
Objective:
To bring up to date the information on hip arthroscopy as a minimally invasive surgical treatment modality in relation to its indications and contraindications.
Methods:
A search and analysis of information on the subject was carried out from September 1 to October 31, 2020. The following search words were used: hip arthroscopy, snapping hip syndrome, impingement hip syndrome. Founded on the information obtained, 307 articles published in PubMed, Hinari, SciELO and Medline databases were reviewed, using the EndNote search manager and reference manager. Forty-seven citations of the total were selected for this review. They were published in the last five years.
Analysis and synthesis of the information:
Reference is made to published papers that address information on hip arthroscopy. Indications for both intra-articular and peri-articular entities are analyzed, with special emphasis on the former and femoroacetabular impingement. In relation to the contraindications, they are divided into absolute and relative for their better understanding.
Conclusions:
Arthroscopy of the hip is a useful surgical method in wide variety of joint conditions and its advantages are numerous. This surgical modality allows the diagnosis of entities that are difficult to detect by currently available imaging methods and therefore effective treatment from early stages in order to preserve the joint.
