[Operative treatment of femoro-acetabular impingement in hip joint]

For many years early treatment of degenerative joint disease in hip joint included only conservative procedures or extraarticular surgery eg. pertrochanteric osteotomy, acetabular roof reconstruction. Discovery of femoro-acetabular impingement mechanism opened space for new advanced operative techniques. For the last few years these techniques are mastered using arthroscopic approach as well as open joint surgery. In this paper we are describing technique with osteotomy of the greater trochanter and joint luxation for open treatment of femoro-acetabular impingement.
