Key result
Routine measurement and management of femoral version is essential for comprehensive preoperative planning and optimal outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.
Why the study?
Femoral version varies widely in patients with femoroacetabular impingement and can cause anterior impingement, instability, or posterior impingement, prompting review of routine management for optimal hip arthroscopy outcomes.
Does routine femoral version management improve outcomes after hip arthroscopy for FAI?
Does routine femoral version management improve outcomes after hip arthroscopy for FAI?
Careful and routine measurement of femoral anteversion is essential in comprehensive preoperative planning for hip arthroscopy in FAI.
Femoral version assessment may refine FAI planning; leaves open prospective validation of version-specific outcomes.
Femoral version is extremely variable between patients presenting with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Careful and routine measurement of femoral anteversion is essential in comprehensive preoperative planning. In general, low degrees of femoral version can lead to anterior impingement (especially on the subspine and distal medial femoral neck). High degrees of anteversion can be seen in the setting of acetabular dysplasia and can lead to anterior hip instability and or posterior impingement. In this article, the authors will discuss the role of routine femoral version management for optimal outcomes after hip arthroscopy for FAI.

Westermann et al. (2020) conducted a review in Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Routine femoral version management was evaluated. Routine measurement and management of femoral version is essential for comprehensive preoperative planning and optimal outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.
