The purpose of this study was to present the technique of arthroscopic capsule release in patients with early and midstage degenerative joint disease of the hip. In 22 patients we performed an arthroscopic capsular release of the hip joint capsule with simultaneous synovectomy and percutaneous drilling of areas of bone edema. The age of the patient ranged from 28 to 65 years (mean 52 years). There were 14 male and 8 female patients. All patients had suffered from a significant reduction of quality of life. In 15 of the 22 patients hip arthroplasty was already indicated in another institution. The preoperative Harris hip Score of 12 patients was below 69 points, 8 patients had a score between 70 and 79 points and 2 patients had a score between 80 and 89 points. At the time of follow-up (mean 26 months after surgery) 1 patient scored below 69 points, 3 patients scored between 70 and 79 points in the Harris hip score. Two patients scored between 80 and 89 points and 16 patients reached a score between 90 and 100 points. Subjective and objective 18 of 22 patients showed clinical relevant improvement. There was no complication in this series. Four patients underwent hip arthroplasty between 6 months and 2 years after the arthroscopic procedure. Minimal invasive arthroscopic treatments seem to decrease the subjective and objective complaints in early and midstage degenerative arthritis of the hip.
