Hip arthroscopy at Sakra IKOC Multispeciality Hospital is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a range of hip joint problems. Hip pain can affect walking, sitting, sports activities and overall quality of life, especially in younger and active individuals. Our specialists focus on identifying the exact cause of hip pain and offering targeted treatment for long-term relief.
Using a small camera and specialised instruments, hip arthroscopy allows surgeons to treat joint problems through tiny incisions. Compared to open surgery, it usually results in less pain, minimal scarring and faster recovery. Each patient is carefully evaluated to determine whether hip arthroscopy is the most appropriate option.
Services We Offer
Diagnostic Hip Arthroscopy
A small camera is inserted into the hip joint to identify cartilage damage, labral tears or structural abnormalities. This helps confirm the diagnosis and plan precise treatment.
Hip Labral Repair and Reconstruction
Torn or damaged labrum is repaired or reconstructed to restore joint stability, reduce pain and improve hip function.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Correction
Extra bone causing abnormal contact within the hip joint is reshaped to reduce pain and prevent further cartilage damage.
Cartilage Repair Procedures
Damaged cartilage is treated using arthroscopic techniques to improve joint movement and delay progression of arthritis.
Removal of Loose Bodies
Free fragments of bone or cartilage inside the hip joint are removed to reduce locking, pain and inflammation.
Post-Procedure Rehabilitation Support
Structured physiotherapy helps restore strength, flexibility and safe movement after hip arthroscopy.
Conditions We Treat
Hip Labral Tears
Tears in the labrum cause hip pain, clicking and instability and are commonly treated with arthroscopy.
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)
Abnormal bone shape leads to joint damage and pain, especially during movement and sports activities.
Cartilage Damage of the Hip
Worn or damaged cartilage causes pain and stiffness and can be treated using minimally invasive methods.
Hip Joint Locking or Catching
Mechanical symptoms due to loose bodies or labral damage can be addressed through arthroscopy.
Sports-Related Hip Injuries
Injuries caused by sports or repetitive motion often affect the labrum or cartilage and respond well to arthroscopic treatment.
Early-Stage Hip Arthritis
In select cases, arthroscopy can help relieve symptoms by addressing mechanical joint problems.
Procedures and Treatments
Hip arthroscopy is performed through small incisions using a camera and specialised instruments. The procedure allows surgeons to treat the problem directly while minimising damage to surrounding tissues.
