Remplissage of the Femoral Head-Neck Junction in Revision Hip Arthroscopy: A Technique to Correct Excessive Cam Resection

Femoral head-neck junction reconstruction, after iatrogenic bone resection

Arthroscopic over-resection of the head-neck junction during the treatment of a cam deformity can be a devastating complication and is difficult to treat. Large defects of the femoral head-neck junction (FHNJ) increase the risk of femoral neck fracture and can also affect hip biomechanics. We describe a case of an iatrogenic defect of the FHNJ due to excessive bone resection, and a previously n...

Femoral Head Osteonecrosis Following a Hip Arthroscopy; A Case Report

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is an uncommon complication following hip arthroscopy, generally due to an excessive traction of the limb and high intracapsular pressures of the hip. This complication entails catastrophic outcomes for the femoral head with collapse and degeneration, resulting in another surgical procedure. We present a case of a 21 year-old soccer player that underwent arthro...

Morphology of Acetabulum and Femoral Head-Neck Junction in Hip Dysplasia Which Underwent Rotational Acetabular Osteotomy

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the preoperative radiographs with cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) leading to rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) or curved peri-acetabular osteotomy (CPO), and examine the frequency of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) related bone morphology in the acetabulum and femoral head-neck junction. Twenty-four hips with hip dyaplasia who u...
