Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement: Labrum, Cartilage, Osseous Deformity, and Capsule

Marc J Philippon et al. Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ). 2017 Jan/Feb.

Abstract

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) surgery aims to restore the native anatomical relationships between bones and the soft tissues comprising the hip joint. The goal of this approach is to mimic the natural biomechanical function of the hip joint and translate it into a perfect clinical outcome. In this article, we describe the indications and contraindications for our preferred hip arthroscopic techniques for correcting FAI in both primary and revision cases and discuss the role of postoperative rehabilitation and use of biologics in further improving patient outcomes.
