Arthroscopy versus mini-open surgery for femoroacetabular impingement
Mini-open and arthroscopic surgery for symptomatic FAI achieve similar clinical outcomes and comparable complication rates at approximately 34 months follow-up. The mini-open approach was associated with a lower risk of reoperation. Future research should focus on long-term follow-up and standardized outcome measures to refine the understanding of these surgical options and enhance patient care.
