Where this comes from

Abstract

Navigational assistance for arthroscopic hip femoroacetabular impingement surgery does not equate to a more precise femoroplasty. Traction sutures, interportal capsulotomies, and curved burrs can improve access. A well done cam osteoplasty is only one part of a successful hip arthroscopy, and factors such as atraumatic access and labral and capsular management are important for optimal outcomes.
