CHAPTER 23 Arthroscopy for Symptomatic Hip Arthroplasty
Surgical technique
Standard lateral paratrochanteric and anterior paratrochanteric portals are made to access the central compartment; this allows for the visualization of the edge of the acetabular component, the bone–component interface (Figure 23-1), and the synovial membrane, and the surgeon is also able to look for any possible metallosis. If debridement is required, it is performed with an arthroscopic shaver or a radiofrequency probe. Synovial biopsy and further aspirates from the bone implant interface may also be obtained at this time.
