Editorial on ‘Functional outcomes and cam recurrence after arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement in adolescents’

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is defined as having symptoms, clinical signs and diagnostic imaging findings of pincer and/or cam morphology (1). The treatment of FAI syndrome can be conservative by physiotherapy or surgically, mostly by arthroscopy. Functional outcome after hip arthroscopy can be quantified in several ways. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) via hip specific questionnaires and return-to-play (RTP) time or percentage for athletes are most often used.
