Why the study?
Despite favorable outcomes after surgical treatment of femoroacetabular impingement, a subgroup of patients experience continued or recurrent symptoms, leading to an increasing need for revision hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgeries.
This review outlines the evaluation and treatment of patients with continued hip and groin pain after hip arthroscopy, highlighting residual deformity as the most common cause for revision.
Revision rates after FAI arthroscopy are rising; leaves open optimal patient selection and revision strategies.
The surgical treatment of femoroacetabular impingement has been shown to have successful early and mid-term clinical outcomes. Despite these favorable clinical outcomes that have been published in the literature, there is a subgroup of patients that present with continued or recurrent symptoms after surgical treatment. Not only has there been an increase in the number of hip arthroscopy procedures, but also there has been a corresponding increase in the number of revision hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgeries. Previous studies have reported residual deformity to be the most common reason for revision hip arthroscopy. However, chondral, labral, and capsular considerations also are important when addressing patients not only in the primary but also, the revision setting. In this review, we outline the evaluation and treatment of the patient that presents with continued hip and groin pain after undergoing a hip.
