About Femoroacetabular Impingement

Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) surgery is a specialized orthopedic procedure designed to correct a structural abnormality in the hip joint. In FAI, extra bone grows along the femur (cam impingement) or the acetabulum (pincer impingement), causing friction and damage to the labrum and cartilage during movement. This minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery involves the surgeon making small incisions to insert a camera and instruments. The goal is to reshape the bone, remove the impinging lesions, and repair any torn labral tissue, thereby restoring smooth joint motion, alleviating pain, and preventing the early onset of osteoarthritis. It is a highly effective solution for active individuals suffering from persistent hip pain.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive arthroscopic technique with small incisions.Preserves natural hip joint, delaying or preventing the need for total hip replacement.Effectively relieves chronic hip and groin pain.Improves range of motion and hip function.Targets the root cause of impingement by reshaping bone.Often includes repair of the damaged labrum (soft tissue rim).liFacilitates a return to sports and high-impact activities./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent hip or groin pain, especially during flexion and rotation (e.g., sitting, squatting).
Diagnosis of Cam, Pincer, or Mixed-type FAI confirmed by physical exam and imaging (X-ray, MRI).
Limited range of motion in the hip.
Pain that does not improve with conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, or injections.
Presence of a torn or damaged labrum (labral tear) due to impingement.
Active individuals and athletes wishing to return to their sport.
Early signs of cartilage damage to prevent progression to osteoarthritis.

How to prepare

Complete pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests and ECG.
Discontinue certain medications (e.g., blood thinners like aspirin or warfarin) as advised by your surgeon.
Arrange for help at home and time off work for the initial recovery period.
Pre-operative physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen surrounding muscles.
Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight before surgery).
Discuss anesthesia options (usually general anesthesia) with your anesthesiologist.
Plan for transportation home after hospital discharge.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, or blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).
Nerve or blood vessel injury around the surgical site.
Persistent pain or stiffness in the hip.
Heterotopic ossification (abnormal bone growth in soft tissues).
Continued symptoms or failure to relieve pain.
Rare risk of fracture or hip instability.
Complications related to anesthesia.
Need for further surgery in the future.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial weight-bearing is limited, requiring crutches for 2-4 weeks to protect the joint.
Comprehensive physical therapy begins soon after surgery to restore strength, flexibility, and gait.
Pain and swelling are managed with medication and ice therapy.
Stitches or staples are removed 10-14 days post-surgery.
Avoid high-impact activities, deep squatting, and extreme ranges of motion for several months.
Gradual return to daily activities over 6-8 weeks; return to sports may take 4-6 months or longer.
Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor healing progress.

Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 months for full return to sports
