Overview
Hip arthroscopy treats FAI by reshaping bone and repairing soft tissue through small incisions.

Indications
Hip pain, labral tears, or impingement unresponsive to conservative care.

How it is done
A camera and instruments remove bony bumps and repair the labrum if needed.

Risks and considerations
Nerve traction injury, stiffness, or persistent pain.

Recovery timeline
Crutches for a short period; rehab over 3 to 6 months.

When to seek care
Increasing pain, numbness, or swelling needs evaluation.
