Hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) is an area in which progress continues to be made...

To date, the procedure has shown benefits only with particular patient selections and indications: younger patients with pain and limited hip movement caused by intra- or extra-articular problems (labral tear- impingement syndrome, intra-articular loose bodies, tendon inflammations associated with mechanical symptoms), without signs of advanced arthritis and who have previously tried other, non-surgical treatments. More information on this type of surgery can be found on the NICE website . Mr Dan Arvinte does not perform hip arthroscopy but, if Mr Arvinte recommends this procedure he will refer you to one of his colleagues with whom he works very closely.
