Case:
A 21-year-old woman with a surgical history of 2 prior right hip surgeries presented with ongoing right hip pain. Radiographic findings demonstrated a labral tear, osteoarthritic changes, and cam over-resection. Arthroscopic iliotibial band autograft labral reconstruction and bony remplissage of the femoral defect using a greater trochanter autograft were performed.
Conclusion:
Arthroscopic bony hip remplissage is a viable treatment option for young patients who present after failed hip arthroscopy with cam over-resection.
