Case:
We describe a case of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome treated with labral repair and arthroscopic femoral osteoplasty in a 30-year-old man. The case was complicated by resection of 50% of the femoral neck resulting in high risk of an impending femoral neck fracture. The patient was treated with a vascularized fibula autograft and internal fixation.
Conclusion:
Complications of femoral neck over-resection can threaten the viability and structural integrity of the hip joint but may successfully be treated with vascularized fibula autograft.
