Debate Introduction: FAI With Early Osteoarthritis in a 30-Year-Old Male (Tonnis II)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion highlights geographic differences in orthopedic procedures, noting North America favors hip arthroscopies while Europe may prefer periacetabular osteotomies (POs). A case study of a 34-year-old male with painful left hip symptoms includes clinical findings and imaging revealing early joint degeneration, labral tear, and CAM morphology. Ben Dom from the American Hip Institute advocates for hip arthroscopy with osteochondroplasty to treat such patients. The debate sets the stage for contrasting opinions from experts, aiming to explore the best surgical approach based on evidence and clinical presentation.
