Abstract

The mini-open surgical approach is a favorable approach for treating femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) to perform labral refixation, acetabular rim trimming, and femoral osteochondroplasty. It is performed through an internervous plane, minimizes muscle damage, and reduces the traction necessary for accessing the hip joint compared to a hip arthroscopy. Caution must be taken to prevent damage to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, as well as the lateral femoral circumflex vessels. The mini-open approach is a very successful approach for providing adequate visualization of the hip joint to allow treatment for hip pathology present from FAI.
