Femoral osteoplasty yielded positive long-term outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — For patients with femoroacetabular impingement, surgical treatment of labral pathology with femoral osteoplasty yielded better long-term outcomes and survivorship compared with arthroscopy alone.
“So, how important is femoral correction in FAI?” Jeffrey J. Nepple, MD, MS, said in his presentation at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meeting. “A large body of literature supports the association of CAM-type [FAI] with arthritis, but we have limited data connecting our surgeries to changing the natural history of this disease,”
