Challenging Resection Comes in Many Forms: Addressing Difficult Cam Morphology

Abstract Femoroacetabular impingement with cam morphology that fails nonoperative management can be addressed with hip arthroscopy and cam resection. There exists a wide variation of cam morphology due to various etiologies that can make some cam lesions more challenging to address. A thorough preoperative evaluation and the utilization of a variety of intraoperative techniques can allow for adequate arthroscopic resection of these otherwise challenging cam lesions. In this technique video, we describe a systematic approach for the preoperative assessment of femoroacetabular impingement due to a cam lesion and consideration of different approaches for arthroscopic resection based on cam‐specific morphology.

Abstract

Abstract Femoroacetabular impingement with cam morphology that fails nonoperative management can be addressed with hip arthroscopy and cam resection. There exists a wide variation of cam morphology due to various etiologies that can make some cam lesions more challenging to address. A thorough preoperative evaluation and the utilization of a variety of intraoperative techniques can allow for adequate arthroscopic resection of these otherwise challenging cam lesions. In this technique video, we describe a systematic approach for the preoperative assessment of femoroacetabular impingement due to a cam lesion and consideration of different approaches for arthroscopic resection based on cam‐specific morphology.
