Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to obtain information on the safety and performance of HipJack Balloon Spacer to access the central compartment of the hip and maintain intra-articular hip joint distraction during arthroscopy of the central compartment of the hip.

Detailed description

The HipJack Kit is intended to maintain distraction of the joint during hip arthroscopy. This study will evaluate the Kit in clinical sites outside of the United States.
