Arthroscopic management of 22 patients with FAI led to improved hip score from 49 to 74 and no major complications. α-Angle improved mean of 74 to 54% though the angle did not correlate with any clinical outcome measure.

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrose. 2007; 15:908-914. Forty-five elite athletes had hip arthroscopy for decompression of FAI. Operative and return to play data reveal 93% returned to professional sports, whereas three who had diffuse osteoarthritis did not. Seventy-eight percent remained active in professional sport at average follow-up of 1.6 years.

J Arthroplasty. 2008; 23:226-234. Nineteen patients with cam FAI were treated with arthroscopic deformity correction and labral debridement. Sixteen patients had improved symptoms at 2 years, one patient required a total joint arthroplasty, and condition of three patients deteriorated. There were no cases of avascular necrosis or femoral neck fracture.

Surgical dislocation was performed on 37 hips. Mean WOMAC score increased from 61.2 to 81.4 postoperatively at 3.1 years of follow-up. Mean UCLA activity score improved from 4.8 to 7.5 points and the mean Short-form 12 score increased from 37.3 to 45.6 points. Nine patients had screw removal from the greater trochanter. None had osteonecrosis or reconstructive surgery.

Am J Sports Med. 2007; 35:1955-1959. Case series of five professional ice hockey players treated with open surgical dislocation for FAI. Core and hip strength values reached preoperative levels at 7.8 months. At 2.7 years of follow-up, all patients were symptom and pain free. Three of five returned to major league play, whereas two had to return to minor league ice hockey.
