Abstract
- We report on the application of hip arthroscopy to remove an osteochondral fragment created by a posterior hip dislocation. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs and computed tomography scans correlate with intraoperative arthroscopic photographs and are presented with this report. Arthroscopy allowed excellent visualization of the joint and facilitated straightforward removal of the fragment. We were able to avoid the larger incision required by an arthrotomy and decreased the patient's overall morbidity from this condition.
