An<unk> c probe is seen at the junction of the labrum and acetabular rim<unk>  was initially used for the diagnosis of unexplained hip pain, but is now widely used in the treatment of conditions both in and outside the hip joint itself. The most common indication is for the treatment of FAI (femoral acetabular impingement) and its associated pathologies such as labral tears and cartilage abnormalities, among others (see Table 1).
