Abstract
Hip arthroscopy has become an effective and reliable operative technique for treating femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). This report presents the latest arthroscopic technique, including positioning, portal placement, and treatment of the femoral and acetabular deformity and secondary lesions at the chondrolabral rim complex. After a review of the literature, the results of arthroscopic versus open treatment of FAI are compared, and an algorithm is suggested for deciding between these two types of FAI treatment.Entities:
