title: A review of hip arthroscopy and its role in the management of adult hip pain.
abstract: The diagnosis and management of patients presenting with hip pain is often challenging. A thorough history and physical examination, imaging studies and selective injections can help define the source of pain in many of these individuals. As technology and technical skills continue to improve, the role for hip arthroscopy will continue to expand. Further well-designed studies will better refine the indications for hip arthroscopy in managing patients with hip pathology.
