Overview

Medial hip portals warrant caution near neurovascular structures; hypothesis-generating for safer portal techniques in prospective studies.

Structured PICO

What are the safety margins for neurovascular structures during placement of anterolateral and medial arthroscopic hip portals?

P
Population
12 hips undergoing femoral triangle dissection
I
Intervention
Placement of 5 anterolateral portals (anterior, anterior lateral, posterior lateral, proximal anterior medial, distal anterior medial) and 3 medial portals (anterior medial, posterior medial, distal posterior medial)
O
Outcome
Distance from portals to clinically relevant neurovascular structuressafety

Medial arthroscopic hip portals carry a higher risk of neurovascular injury compared to lateral portals, specifically to the femoral neurovascular bundle and obturator nerve.
