Abstract
With an increasing understanding of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and advancement of the surgical treatment in patients with FAI, various techniques have been published. Successful outcome after arthroscopic hip surgery depends on appropriately reshaping the bony architecture to allow for improved range of motion before impingement symptoms occur, with special attention to preserve the labrum and restore its function. We present our surgical technique for the arthroscopic treatment of FAI.
