Brief summary

Thus study aims to investigate new methods of treating a specific cause of hip pain, where the top of the thigh bone hits against the pelvic bone. Existing keyhole surgery techniques will be combined with a new computer-assisted method to determine if the surgery can be improved. Patients will be assessed before and after their operation to measure activity, pain and quality of life.

Interventions

Resection of bone from the head-neck junction will be performed using a burr, introduced into the hip joint via an arthroscopic procedure under the guidance of a combination of visual (camera), radiological (X-ray image intensifier) and computer-guided imaging modalities. The approximate duration of the procedure is 60-90 minutes.

Inclusion criteria

1. 18- 50 years of age at time of surgery 2. A greater than 6 month history of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) prior to surgery (as diagnosed via surgeon assessment of hip) where impingement lesion is present on the femoral component. 3. A greater than 6 month history of conservative treatment prior to surgery 4. Patients indicated for treatment of FAI by arthroscopic femoroplasty. 5. Patients who understand the conditions of the study and are willing to participate for the length of the prescribed term of follow-up 6. Patients who are capable of, and have given, informed consent to their participation in the study

Exclusion criteria

1. Pregnant and breast feeding women 2. Patients with femoroacetabular impingement where the impingement lesion is present on the acetabular or labral components. 3. Patients with previous surgery of the affected hip 4. Patients with advanced hip osteoarthritis Patients requiring bilateral hip surgery 5. Patients with other musculoskeletal disorders that, per investigator’s discretion, are affecting pain levels and physical activity. 6. Patients with any other disorders that, per investigator’s discretion, are significantly affecting pain levels, physical activity, or quality of life.
