A closer view of the surgical site can be obtained using an arthroscopic
camera, allowing everyone in the room to visualize the procedure. |

In this special set up the surgical team wears "space suits"
to prevent contamination of the wound. |

Preparation of the acetabulum is obtained using specially designed
acetabular reamers (like cheese graters). |
