  • Title: Femoral Version in Hip Arthroscopy: Does it Matter?
    Author: Westermann RW, Willey MC.
    Journal: Sports Med Arthrosc Rev; 2021 Mar 01; 29(1):28-34. PubMed ID: 33395228.
    Abstract:
    Femoral version is extremely variable between patients presenting with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Careful and routine measurement of femoral anteversion is essential in comprehensive preoperative planning. In general, low degrees of femoral version can lead to anterior impingement (especially on the subspine and distal medial femoral neck). High degrees of anteversion can be seen in the setting of acetabular dysplasia and can lead to anterior hip instability and or posterior impingement. In this article, the authors will discuss the role of routine femoral version management for optimal outcomes after hip arthroscopy for FAI.
