In Search of the Spherical Femoroplasty: Cam Overresection Leads to Inferior Functional Scores Before and After Revision Hip Arthroscopic Surgery

Structured PICO

Does cam overresection lead to inferior clinical outcomes compared to underresection in patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery?

Population

Patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery

Intervention

Cam overresection (more than 5% of the diameter of the femoral head on the Dunn view)

Comparator

Cam underresection

Outcome

Clinical outcomes (functional scores) and rates of conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA)

Cam overresection during hip arthroscopy is associated with worse functional outcomes and an increased risk of conversion to total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract

Cam overresection of more than 5% of the diameter of the femoral head on the Dunn view predicts inferior clinical outcomes compared with cam underresection in this population. Furthermore, overresection predicts inferior outcomes after revision hip arthroscopic surgery and higher rates of conversion to THA.
