Arthroscopic Correction of Pincer-Type FAI in the Presence of Acetabular Retroversion Results in Excellent Patient-Reported Outcomes With Low Risk of Reoperation or Conversion to Arthroplasty at Minimum 5 Years

The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopic correction for pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in patients with acetabular retroversion, specifically assessing patient-reported outcomes and the risk of reoperation over a minimum five-year follow-up. The study found significant improvements in clinical outcomes and high rates of patient satisfaction, with low rates of revision surgery and arthroplasty-free survivorship, suggesting that arthroscopy is an effective treatment for symptomatic FAI in this patient population.
