Advantages, Risks, and Limitations for Arthroscopic Circumferential Femoroplasty

Advantages	Risks	Limitations
• Labral “suction seal” maintained	• Abdominal extravasation	• Technically demanding procedure requiring steep learning curve
• Improved hip range of motion	• Femoral neck fracture	• Availability of C-arm technician
• Most accurate technique for femoral osteoplasty	• Increased fluoroscopic radiation exposure	• Trained surgical team
• Ability to access difficult cam deformity	• Injury to femoral head vasculature
• Does not require special instrumentation or perineal post
