Is residual deformity associated with residual symptoms requiring revision hip arthroscopy in patients with FAI?
Incomplete correction of deformity is highly prevalent in patients requiring revision hip arthroscopy, emphasizing the importance of full 3-D resection of impinging structures.
We found marked radiographic evidence of incomplete correction of deformity in patients with residual symptoms compared with patients with successful results with residual deformity present in the large majority of patients (45 of 50 90%) undergoing residual FAI surgery. We recommend careful attention to full 3-D resection of impinging structures.
