Hip Arthroscopy
AHIRF has made significant contributions to the advancement of hip arthroscopy, helping to refine and expand surgical techniques for treating a variety of hip conditions. This section highlights AHIRF's work on hip arthroscopy for intra-articular pathology, including studies on labral repairs and reconstructions, ligamentum teres surgery, hip instability procedures, capsular repair and reconstruction, and the management of chondral defects. Through its commitment to innovation and clinical excellence, AHIRF continues to drive progress in minimally invasive hip surgery.
