Arthroscopic Femoral Osteochondroplasty With Capsular Plication for Osteochondroma of the Femoral Neck.


ABSTRACT: Osteochondromas of the femoral neck are a rare but challenging problem because of their distal location, which is difficult to access arthroscopically. Traditional methods of osteochondroma resection used invasive open approaches to manage these lesions. More recently, advances in hip arthroscopy have allowed expanded treatment of extra-articular hip conditions with a minimally invasive approach. Reports have described the use of hip arthroscopy for osteochondroma removal; however, surgical techniques for the procedure have yet to be described. We describe a technique for arthroscopic resection of a femoral neck osteochondroma using an extended capsulotomy and osteochondroplasty with subsequent capsular plication. This technique uses contemporary hip arthroscopic techniques and constitutes a safe and effective approach to addressing this rare intra-articular pathology of the hip.
