Editorial Commentary: Femoroacetabular Impingement Under-resection Is the Primary Indication for Revision Arthroscopy

Abstract

Complications indicating revision after hip arthroscopy generally manifest within 24 months. Femoroacetabular cam or pincher impingement deformity under-resection is the primary indication for revision arthroscopy. Revision results in decreased pain and improved function, and primary and revision hip femoroacetabular impingement arthroscopic surgeons must be mindful of femoral cam lesion over resection, which could result in iatrogenic femoral neck fracture.
