Surgical Technique of the "Up-The-Neck" View During Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement.

ABSTRACT: In the setting of femoroacetabular impingement, arthroscopy versus open surgery confers many advantages. However, inadequate bony resection remains a concern and is the leading cause of revision surgery. Several strategies have been described to ensure a more-complete resection during hip arthroscopy. In this current technique article, the authors describe a modified anterior portal site view called the "up-the-neck" view. This view allows for greater visualization of the femoral head-neck junction and alleviates challenges faced when assessing resection intraoperatively. The "up-the-neck" view is achieved by placing a 70° arthroscope in the anterior lateral portal and subsequently rotating the camera 90°. The head-neck junction will appear horizontally, rather than vertically, on this vie
