Conclusion

Our understanding and treatment of FAI continue to evolve. Both open and arthroscopic techniques have demonstrated excellent outcomes in the treatment of FAI. Most cases of FAI are now amenable to arthroscopic treatment. Inadequate resection and underlying acetabular dysplasia remain common causes of treatment failure. Open surgical hip dislocation continues to play a role in the treatment of severe deformities that are poorly accessible by arthroscopy—including cam lesions with posterior extension, severe global acetabular overcoverage, or extra-articular impingement. The association of FAI with OA is most apparent for cam-type FAI. Future research will define the optimal treatment strategies and determine if they modify disease progression.
