Abstract
This article describes an effective and safe method of motorized shaver placement
during hip arthroscopy without the use of a conventional cannula. With this technique,
the arthroscopist has greater freedom in maneuvering the shaver in and around the
hip joint. This method allows for reproducible placement of the shaver in all 3 portals
of the hip.
