Advantages and Disadvantages of Arthroscopic Treatment of Hip Dislocation Associated With a Pelvic Ring Fracture

Advantages	Disadvantages
Arthroscopy allows the diagnosis and concomitant treatment of undiagnosed lesions in the preoperative image assessment.	Hip arthroscopy has a steep learning curve and is technically very demanding.
Less invasive and decreases the risk of further capsular damage and blood supply compromise.	The use of a fluid pump in a hip with capsular damage increases the risk of fluid extravasation and compartmental syndrome.
	Traction can displace an otherwise stable pelvic ring fracture.
