Dr. Allston Stubbs, an orthopaedic surgeon at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, explains how arthroscopic procedures benefit the orthopaedic surgery patient. • Request an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon • https://www.wakehealth.edu/Request-an... • Wake Forest Baptist Orthopedic Services • http://www. wakehealth.edu/orthopedics • Dr. Allston Stubbs • http://www. wakehealth.edu/Faculty/Stubbs-Allston-Julius.htm • TRANSCRIPT: The beauty of hip arthroscopy is that we can basically preserve the native hip joint. The ball and socket that you were born with we can try to preserve and maintain hopefully for the future for a pain-free active lifestyle. • As you can see, the hip is made out of a socket which is part of the pelvis and the ball which comes off the thigh bone. • The goal of hip arthroscopy is to get in and out of your hip without disrupting any of the muscles or any of the tendons or any of the native cartilage around the joint itself. • We generally use two small incisions. They're often smaller than a penny or a dime. So you can imagine to maintain access usually involves two-to-four of these incisions around the joint and that allows us to successfully access and treat the problem through these small access portals. • The instrumentation that we use is very small, as you can see this is what's called an anchor. And this small anchor dissolves over the course of six to twelve months. Your body actually will absorb this material while you're healing. • This anchor itself as you can see is about the size of a dime, it's just a bit smaller than a penny and so this really allows us the technology that was not even available ten years ago.
