One of the more recent advances in keyhole surgery is hip arthroscopy. This particular area of arthroscopic surgery has been relatively neglected until recently but its development has widened the options open to the orthopaedic surgeon when considering the most appropriate treatment for the patient. Historically, attempts at hip arthroscopy were first reported in 1931 by Burman. Soon after, the procedure appears to have lost popularity until, during the mid 1970s and 1980s, there appear isolated reports of hip arthroscopy.
钥匙孔手术（微创手术）中较新的进展之一是髋关节镜检查。直到最近，关节镜手术的这个特定领域一直相对被忽视，但它的发展为骨科医生在考虑为患者选择最合适的治疗方法时拓宽了选择范围。从历史上看，1931年伯曼首次报告了髋关节镜检查的尝试。此后不久，该手术似乎就不再受欢迎，直到20世纪70年代中期和80年代，才出现了关于髋关节镜检查的个别报告。
