Revision hip arthroscopy is an increasingly common procedure as rates of primary hip arthroscopy rise. Etiologies for symptom recurrence may include residual femoroacetabular impingement, cam over-resection, labral pathology, chondral wear, adhesions, and instability. This has spawned sophisticated surgical techniques in hip arthroscopy including labral reconstruction.

- - The study investigated whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) during hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) improves patient outcomes compared to a saline placebo.
- - Conducted on patients aged 16 to 50 years, the trial randomly assigned 113 participants to receive either PRP or placebo before surgery, assessing their recovery using the International Hip Outcome Tool at various follow-up points.
- - Results showed both groups had improved hip scores after 2 years, but there was no significant difference in their recovery, indicating that PRP may not provide additional benefits for FAI surgery.
Hip arthroscopy is being used with increasing frequency as the understanding of arthroscopic management of groin pain improves. To access the hip joint arthroscopically, traction must be placed on the leg. In most cases, countertraction is provided with a padded post in the groin.
