Charles T, et al. - Researchers assumed that a hip-specific distractor might facilitate the learning curve of hip arthroscopy for beginner surgeons. The first 56 hip arthroscopies performed to treat femoro-acetabular impingement using a hip-specific distractor were retrospectively examined. Researchers examined the learning curve of this procedure using operative time, peri- and postoperative complications, hospital stay, and patient satisfaction. They further assessed pre-and postoperative sports activities and tried to distinguish some factors as poor postoperative prognostic factors. According to the findings, the hip-specific distractor was found to be a safe and reproducible method in performing hip arthroscopy without any traction-related complications or time limits.
