  • Title: Treatment of failed arthroscopic acetabular labral debridement by femoral chondro-osteoplasty: a case series of five patients.
    Author: May O, Matar WY, Beaulé PE.

    Abstract:
    Femoroacetabular impingement is recognised as being a cause of labral tears and chondral damage. We report a series of five patients who presented with persistent pain in the hip after arthroscopy for isolated labral debridement. All five had a bony abnormality consistent with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. They had a further operation to correct the abnormality by chondro-osteoplasty of the femoral head-neck junction. At a mean follow-up of 16.3 months (12 to 24) all had symptomatic improvement.
