Abstract
Hip arthroscopy has been shown to be a successful procedure to treat young patients with labral pathology caused by femoroacetabular impingement. However, as patients age and there is an associated increase in hip pathology, the results become less consistent. Although some patients will have decreased symptoms, approximately 25% to 30% will require total hip arthroplasty 2 to 5 years after the procedure.
