Abstract
There is an increased risk of fracture following osteochondroplasty at the femoral head-neck junction for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. The amount of safe resection has previously been investigated through several biomechanical models, including composite bone, cadaver, animal, and finite element models. Translation of ex vivo results regarding safe resection to an arthroscopic procedure on an actual patient remains a research and clinical challenge.
