[Arthroscopic-assisted mini-open technique for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement : Video article].

INTRODUCTION

Femoroacetabular impingement of the hip is considered a prearthrotic deformity, which should be treated at an early state to prevent complications.

MATERIAL

This video demonstrates the arthroscopic-assisted mini-open technique for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement of the hip. In the case presented a combined Pincer and Cam-deformity is treated with rim trimming, translabral labral refixation with two suture anchors and reconstruction of the head-neck junction.

CONCLUSION

The arthroscopic-assisted mini-open technique is a safe and reproducible procedure for treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. It provides an alternative to hip arthroscopy and an additional treatment option in the portfolio of hip surgeons.
