Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition that results from a mismatch of congruency between the femoral head and the acetabulum. This incongruence leads to repetitive trauma to the intervening soft tissues leading inevitably to labral and chondral injuries that can subsequently result in degenerative joint disease of the hip. Early appropriate treatment of the lesion may preserve the longevity of the patient’s native joint. Utilizing a mini-Hueter anterior approach, adequate exposure and correction of the pathology can be performed in a minimally invasive fashion. In this manner, the hip joint is exposed and the osseous, labral, and chondral pathology is assessed. A femoral neck osteoplasty with possible acetabular rim trimming is then performed, followed by labral reattachment. Postoperatively, the patient can be weight bearing as tolerated using crutches or another assistive walking device for 6 weeks to protect the labral repair.
