This review article is devoted to the issues of arthroscopy in patients with pathology of the hip joint. The work reveals the indications for this type of procedure, techniques for performing it, effectiveness and necessity of use for various diseases of the hip joint. This article describes the technical features of the arthroscopy technique, including types of approaches. Emphasis is also placed on the use of this treatment method for various diseases of the hip joint, such as labral pathology, focal damage to articular cartilage, avascular necrosis, damage to the round ligament, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, instability of the hip joint. The literature review includes a number of domestic and foreign studies, the results of which indicate the effectiveness and relative safety of arthroscopy as a method of treating hip pathology. This article also provides literature data from scientific works that studied complications after arthroscopic treatment of diseases of the hip joint. With improved surgical techniques and a better understanding of hip pathologies, more surgeons have begun to perform arthroscopic procedures on the hip for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome remains the most common indication for hip arthroscopy. In many studies, this treatment method shows good early and long-term results. It is possible to use an arthroscopic technique in patients who have undergone hip arthroplasty to remove excess cement or revision. Further well-designed studies will clarify the indications for hip arthroscopy in the treatment of patients with hip pathology.
