Arthroscopic Management of Femoroacetabular Impingement in Athletes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Hip and Groin Pain in the Athlete

Abstract

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can lead to significant pain and dysfunction in the young active population. Historically, this condition was managed with open surgery; however, advances in arthroscopic techniques and improved instrumentation have allowed for a more minimally invasive approach. Although our understanding of the pathoanatomy of FAI has evolved, controversies remain regarding optimal surgical strategies to manage chondrolabral pathology, cam- and pincer-type impingement, and indications for capsular closure. The purpose of this book chapter will be to provide an evidence-based approach with the pearls and pitfalls of arthroscopic management of FAI in the young athlete.
