ABSTRACT
This work describes a new inferior approach for hip arthroscopy. Five newlyborn and five adult cadavers were tried upon. Penetration was carried out just lateral to the ischial tuberosity in the direction of the anterior superior iliac spine. So, the manipulation was easy to perform being guided by two points on the same bone, i.e. two fixed landmarks whatever the position is. All trials were successful without using guides or screens. The joint was reached at a shallow distance from the skin. The capsule was pierced in the most dependent part, and that procedure enabled the removal of loose bodies during arthroscopy. In addition, a complete visualization of the joint could be possible. By dissection the present portal proved to be very safe. In conclusion, this new approach seems to be the most easy, safe and useful portal for hip joint up till now. This will encourage the practice of hip arthroscopy and instrumentation
