Two-Tiered Resection of Cam Lesions in Hip Femoroacetabular Impingement: Optimizing Femoral Head Sphericity.

ABSTRACT: Hip arthroscopy is one of the most rapidly growing fields in orthopaedic surgery. One of the most frequent pathologies treated with hip arthroscopy remains femoroacetabular impingement, which is addressed by labral repair and femoral osteoplasty. The most commonly cited reason for failure of arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement is under-resection of the cam lesion. Surgeons frequently use evaluations of preoperative images, intraoperative fluoroscopy, and dynamic range of motion to ensure adequate resection. In this article, we describe a reproducible and standardized technique to assist in appropriate resection. This is achieved by a 2-tiered resection technique: Tier 1 aims to set the depth of resection and restore the head-neck offset. Tier 2 then matches the depth of
