Introduction:
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a dynamic pathomechanical process of the femoral head-neck junction. Arthroscopic surgery for FAI has increased exponentially in the last decade, and this trend is expected to increase.
Source Of Data:
Recent published literatures.
Areas Of Agreement:
FAI promotes quick rehabilitation and low complication rates in the short-term follow-up.
Areas Of Controversy:
Despite the growing interest on arthroscopic surgery for FAI, current evidence regarding the medium- and long-term role of arthroscopy are unsatisfactory.
Growing Points:
Systematically summarize current evidences, analyse the quantitative available data and investigate the medium- and long-term outcomes of arthroscopic surgery for FAI.
Areas Timely For Developing Research:
Arthroscopic surgery achieves very satisfactory outcomes for patients with FAI at a mean follow-up of 4 years.
