This study represents the longest follow-up in the literature of the modified Bristow procedure. The authors have shown nearly 70% good and excellent results and recurrent instability comparable with other long-term follow-up studies of open instability procedures.

Careful screening is necessary to preclude other confounding diagnoses. Z-plasty is recommended as an effective surgical treatment of the refractory snapping hip secondary to iliotibial band tightness.
