Hip Arthroscopy - My Worst Day in the Operating Room in 2021: What Happened and How it Changed My Practice (5/5)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker recounts two challenging cases in hip arthroscopy. The first case involves a patient who experienced numbness and discomfort after surgery and was mistakenly referred to the emergency room for a rape kit examination. The situation caused distress for the patient and surgeon, but ultimately resolved with minimal complications. The second case involves a patient with a severe hip deformity who underwent arthroscopic treatment. The surgery was difficult, requiring assistance from an experienced colleague to manipulate the hip back into place. Although the patient had a successful outcome, the surgeon reflects on the challenges and suggests that such complex cases may be better suited for open surgery. The video also discusses the use of post-less hip arthroscopy techniques, which have become more popular among surgeons. Overall, the video highlights the importance of careful patient assessment, collaboration, and ongoing learning in the field of hip arthroscopy. No credits were provided.
