Advantages	Disadvantages

Hip arthroscopy instruments ensure proper location and trajectory for cannula placement and help avoid overcrowding	Additional instrumentation required for cannula placement as well as single cannula passing technique
Percutaneous 7-o’clock portal allows proper inferior anchor placement	Accessory portal placement closer to neurovascular structures then traditional portals
