Video Summary

The video discusses the importance of femoral correction in the surgical treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI). The speaker acknowledges the co-authors and their disclosures. They mention that while FAI surgery is effective in improving patient symptoms and outcomes, there is limited data connecting the surgeries to changing the natural history of the disease. The speaker presents a study conducted over a 15-year follow-up period, comparing outcomes of FAI surgeries with and without femoral osteoplasty. The study found that the addition of femoral osteoplasty significantly reduced the reoperation and total hip arthroplasty rates, as well as improving patient-reported outcomes. However, the differences in outcomes between the two groups were not noticeable until 10-15 years after surgery. The study suggests that femoral osteoplasty plays a substantial role in the long-term success of FAI surgery but emphasizes the need for longer prospective studies to further support these findings.
