Overview

Femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) is a common cause of groin pain in young, active adults. Arthroscopic surgery reshapes the abnormal bone contour and repairs the labrum, relieving pain and — critically — protecting the hip from early arthritis.

When it's recommended

  • Groin pain with pivoting or squatting
  • Cam or pincer type FAI
  • Labral tear
  • Failed physiotherapy

Key benefits

  • Preserves your own hip
  • Relieves impingement
  • Protects against future arthritis

Surgical approach

  • Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery
  • Reshaping of femoral head-neck and/or acetabular rim
  • Labral repair

Recovery timeline

  • Day-care or 1-day stay
  • Crutches for 2–3 weeks
  • Sport at 3–4 months
