APEX Hip Enhancing Clinical Expertise and Proficiency (November 2023)-Approach to Failed Hip Arthroscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Al Stubbs discusses the causes and management of failed hip arthroscopy, highlighting issues like incorrect diagnosis, procedure errors, rehabilitation problems, or new pathologies. Over 20 years, understanding of hip conditions progressed from generic diagnoses to recognizing instability, chondrolateral dysfunction, and impingement. He emphasizes the importance of careful history, physical exam, and use of imaging tools like MRI and CT to identify failures such as labral tears, adhesions, inadequate or excessive bone resection, and unrecognized conditions. Accurate diagnosis, patient risk assessment, and appropriate imaging are crucial to avoid and address failed femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) surgeries.
