Hip joint compartments

The visible area of the hip consists of two compartments: a central (green) and a peripheral (red) compartment.

The central compartment is the area of the hip that contains cartilage and is the space between the ball and the socket. Cartilage lesions and labral tears in this compartment can be visualised and treated.
The peripheral compartment is the area of the femoral neck and the hip capsule. In this compartment reshaping of the femoral neck can be performed.
