    IntroductionIt is the aim of this study to demonstrate which disorders of the hip joint can and should be treated by hip arthroscopy.MethodThe technique and results of hip arthroscopy in different indications are evaluated and presented by means of a selective analysis of the literature, together with the author's own experience.ResultsArthroscopy of the hip is a successful procedure for the treatment of loose bodies, traumatic and degenerative lesions of the acetabular labrum, ligamentum capitis femoris, and cartilage, femoroacetabular impingement, synovial disorders, and septic arthritis.DiscussionThe published studies attain a level of evidence IV. Although no data on the long-term outcome are available, it can be concluded that hip arthroscopy has become an important option for treatment of disorders of the hip. As an established component of the treatment algorithm, hip arthroscopy closes the gap between conservative and invasive procedures.
