Key result
Dual-portal outpatient hip arthroscopy successfully treated severe global pincer impingement and acetabular protrusion in a 33-year-old man, with improved nonarthritic hip scores at 1 and 2 years.

Does dual-portal outpatient hip arthroscopy improve outcomes in patients with severe global pincer impingement (protrusio acetabuli)?
Dual-portal outpatient hip arthroscopy is feasible and may successfully treat severe global pincer impingement, challenging the traditional recommendation for open surgery.
Dean K. Matsuda (2012) conducted a case report in Bilateral symptomatic protrusio acetabuli and cam femoroacetabular impingement (n=1). Dual-portal outpatient hip arthroscopy was evaluated on Nonarthritic hip score. Dual-portal outpatient hip arthroscopy successfully treated severe global pincer impingement and acetabular protrusion in a 33-year-old man, with improved nonarthritic hip scores at 1 and 2 years.
