CASE Mr. Q was diagnosed with right hip pain due to a labral tear secondary to a cam femoral acetabular impingement. Given that he had failed nonoperative treatment and had long-standing pain, we recommended surgery for this patient. He underwent right hip arthroscopic labral repair, acetabular rim trimming, acetabular microfracture, femoral osteochondroplasty with capsular plication. At 12-month follow-up, he was doing well, with resolution of the presurgical pain and return to all athletic activities.
