UBC Orthopaedics resident Dr. Helen Crofts and faculty members Drs. Parth Lodhia and Mark McConkey have published a review of pediatric hip arthroscopy. The article, published in Current Reviews of Musculoskeletal Medicine, provides an overview of indications and treatment outcomes for pediatric hip arthroscopy. Indications reviewed include femoroacetabular impingement, borderline hip dysplasia, septic hip arthritis, and residual deformity and intra-articular pathology following slipped capital femoral epiphysis and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
“As the use of hip arthroscopy continues to grow, this article summarizes the indications for hip arthroscopy in the pediatric population and highlights recent research on the topic.”
