Surgical Treatment for FAI: Arthroscopic and Open Techniques for Osteoplasty.
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine 2019 July 2
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the relevant literature and techniques regarding arthroscopic and open treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). To discuss both the senior authors' preferred method of arthroscopic and open treatment of FAI.
RECENT FINDINGS: Routine treatment of FAI has moved away from open techniques and is more focused arthroscopic methods. Arthroscopic treatment of FAI has more recently focused on differing techniques of hip access and capsular management. Open techniques still have a role in FAI, but indications for open management are focused on cases with more severe pathology. While arthroscopic techniques have shown better outcomes in the short term and higher return to play, it is not without risk and is a procedure with a steep learning curve. In cases of complex joint pathology, such as FAI coupled with dysplasia or Legg-Calve-Perthes, arthroscopy may be not indicated and an open approach preferred. We outline various techniques for both arthroscopic and open treatment of FAI and their outcomes when possible.
