Hip Arthroscopy in Malaysia

Hip Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat hip joint problems using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments. At Orthopedic Specialist Malaysia, we provide advanced hip arthroscopy to relieve pain, restore mobility, and preserve the natural hip joint whenever possible.

What is Hip Arthroscopy?

Hip Arthroscopy involves inserting a small camera through a tiny incision into the hip joint. This allows the surgeon to view the joint on a screen and treat conditions without making large cuts, resulting in faster recovery and less post-operative pain compared to open surgery.

Conditions Treated with Hip Arthroscopy

Hip Arthroscopy in Malaysia is commonly performed for:

Labral tears – repair or removal of torn cartilage in the hip
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) – reshaping bones that cause joint friction
Cartilage damage – smoothing or repairing damaged surfaces
Loose bodies – removal of bone fragments or cartilage inside the hip
Early hip arthritis – slowing progression of joint degeneration

Benefits of Hip Arthroscopy

Minimally invasive with small incisions
Less post-operative pain compared to open surgery
Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
Reduced risk of complications
Early return to sports and physical activities

The Hip Arthroscopy Procedure

1. Pre-Surgery Evaluation

X-rays and MRI scans to assess hip damage
Personalized surgical planning

2. During Surgery

Small incisions made around the hip
Arthroscope and instruments inserted to repair or remove damaged tissue
Procedure typically lasts 1–2 hours

3. Post-Surgery Recovery

Same-day or short hospital stay
Crutches may be needed for 1–2 weeks
Physiotherapy for strengthening and mobility
Return to sports and active lifestyle within 2–3 months (depending on condition)

Recovery After Hip Arthroscopy

First week: Rest, ice, and gentle physiotherapy exercises
2–4 weeks: Gradual return to walking and light activities
6–8 weeks: Improved strength and mobility
3 months: Return to sports and active lifestyle

Risks of Hip Arthroscopy

While hip arthroscopy is generally safe, possible risks include:

Infection
Nerve injury (rare)
Blood clots
Persistent pain or stiffness

With an experienced orthopedic surgeon, these risks are minimized.

Hip Arthroscopy vs. Hip Replacement

Hip Arthroscopy focuses on joint preservation and is best for younger patients or those with early hip conditions.
In contrast, Total Hip Replacement is recommended for advanced arthritis or severe joint damage.
