Abstract

Femoroacetabular impingement is a condition that results from a mismatch of congruity between the femoral head and the acetabulum. This incongruency leads to repetitive trauma to the intervening soft tissues leading inevitably to labral and chondral injuries that can subsequently result in degenerative joint disease of the hip. Early appropriate treatment of the lesion may preserve the longevity of the patient’s native joint. The hip joint is exposed and the labral pathology is assessed. A femoral neck osteoplasty is then performed followed by labral reattachment. Postoperatively, the patient can be weight bearing as tolerated using crutches or another assistive walking device for 6 weeks to protect the labral repair.
