Debate Introduction: 26-Year-Old Female With Borderline Dysplasia (DDH) and No Significant Arthritic Change

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session began with a debate discussing a 26-year-old female ballet dancer suffering from right anterior hip pain for a year. Despite physical therapy and injections providing only short-term relief, she experiences pain during prolonged walking and high-range dance movements, along with anterior snapping and positive impingement tests. Imaging showed mild abnormalities including a slightly elevated alpha angle and cystic labral degeneration. The discussion features Dr. Al Stubbs advocating for an all-arthroscopic surgical approach to address her hip condition, considering her hypermobility, imaging findings, and symptom pattern.
