2023 Annual Meeting Hip Access Pass-Primary Hip Arthroscopy for FAI in Adolescents Had High Clinical Benefit

Primary Hip Arthroscopy for FAI in Adolescents Had High Clinical Benefit

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Ben Dome presented a multicenter study on hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in adolescents (≤19 years). The study analyzed 278 hips from two centers with a minimum two-year follow-up, showing significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes, high satisfaction, and substantial achievement of clinical improvement benchmarks. Revision surgery rates were low (<6%), and CAM lesion recurrence was under 2%. Acetabular retroversion was identified as a risk factor for revision. The study highlighted benefits of FAI surgery in adolescents despite concerns about open growth plates, but noted limitations including lack of mental health assessment and no control group.
