Abstract

Arthritis of the hip is a degenerative disease characterised by pain and inflammation. It is common and most often affects middle-aged to older adults, with the definitive management being total hip replacement. Advances in the surgical techniques has brought about the popularity of hip preservation surgery in patients with pre-arthritic hip abnormalities, with a goal to prevent progression to early arthritis and subsequently prolong the need for arthroplasty. There is a large body of evidence correlating femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and the progression of osteoarthritis. Hip arthroscopy is a successful technique in the management of FAI and labral damage. There is, however, less evidence behind its use in those patients with established arthritic changes. After review of such evidence, we believe hip arthroscopy, and other hip preservation procedures, have a key role, and should be considered in the management of early hip arthritis. However, there is no role for such procedures in end-stage arthritis.
