Treatment of Femoro-Acetabular Impingement With Surgical Dislocation and Débridement in Young Adults

Current concepts in the treatment of adolescent femoroacetabular impingement

“…They reported no osteonecrosis in a series of 213 patients undergoing surgical hip dislocation using this technique. The technique has been successfully applied to paediatric and adolescent patients [6,11,46,47].…”

“…There are no studies on the outcome of SDO in the treatment of FAI in a purely adolescent population; however, there are three mixed studies available [6,11,14].…”

“…Peters and Erickson [6] treated 30 hips (in 29 patients; mean age 31 years) using the surgical dislocation technique described and debridement with or without relative femoral neck lengthening and a minimum follow-up of 2 years. The specific diagnoses were primary FAI in 25 patients, LCPD in three patients and SCFE in one patient.…”

“…The advantage of this technique is that it allows intraoperative ROM assessment and 360°assessment of the proximal femur and the acetabulum under direct vision [45]. Procedures such as relative femoral neck lengthening and femoral neck osteotomy can be performed in combination if osteochondroplasty alone is not adequate to prevent impingement [6,45,71].…”

“…Open, arthroscopic and combined treatment methods used in adult patients have been successfully applied to paediatric and adolescent patients [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”
