Hip Arthroscopy
Hi, I have just been to a study day on hip arthroscopies in Walsall. It was very informative as the trust I work at has completed approx 5 procedures so far. Apparently hip arthroscopies have been around for 20 years+. It seems in most places however it is a new procedure. I understand cost is a major stumbling block in a lot of trusts. A figure of around £5,500 per operation means PCT’s might be reluctant to fund the surgery. From the surgical point of view however there is a lot they can do. Remember all these ‘groin strains’ we see. Are they groin or might they be hip. Imaging is very useful with MR arthrogram and CT arthrogram used prior to surgery. Check back in the next 2 days when I will add further information.
