Hip Joint Restoration

Abstract

Limited open procedures allow the surgeon to address the majority of lesions associated with femoroacetabular impingement. The anterior approach to the hip is employed, but a formal surgical dislocation of the hip is not performed. Sufficient exposure is gained to address femoral cam lesions, labral tears and acetabular cartilage delamination lesions, as most of these occur in the antero-superior region of the hip. The procedure can be combined with arthroscopy. Satisfactory results have been obtained using this technique, but, as with all non-arthroplasty techniques for treatment of early degenerative hip disease, success depends on appropriate patient selection.
