Hip arthroscopy in patients with femoroacetabular impingement: About 2 cases

Abstract

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can causes hip pain in young subjects and in athletes. His diagnosis is based on clinical and radiological examinations. Surgical treatment is based on conventional surgery or on arthroscopy. Arthroscopy proves to be a reliable technique in the treatment of FAI. It is effective on the pain and improves performances of athletes in order to enable them to resume their activities within a very short space of time. We here report our experience within our Department in treating 2 patients with FAI with arthroscopy. Modified Harris score significantly improved at the last follow-up (24 and 18 months).
