AANA Hip Arthroscopy - September 2024-Approach to Failed Hip Arthroscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Al Stubbs discusses the approach to failed hip arthroscopy, emphasizing accurate diagnosis and understanding causes such as incorrect procedures, rehabilitation issues, or new pathologies. Advances in imaging and recognition of diverse diagnoses have improved outcomes since the 1990s. He highlights the importance of evaluating pain, mechanical symptoms, and patient expectations post-surgery. Failed surgeries often involve chondrolateral interface issues, inadequate bone resection, or overlooked conditions like dysplasia. Comprehensive clinical evaluation, including history, physical examination, and advanced imaging (MRI, CT, fluoroscopy), is essential. Dr. Stubbs stresses tailored patient risk assessment and careful surgical planning to prevent failure and ensure effective treatment.
