- Causes: repetitive sporting maneuvers, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), or dysplasia
- 10-year outcomes following arthroscopic labral debridement and labral repair showed no significant difference in the rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) or postoperative outcome scores between groups
- Superior outcomes in patients treated with arthroscopic labral reconstruction compared to those treated with labral resection
- Selective debridement may be chosen in cases of unstable flaps and labral calcifications within an otherwise stable labrum and preserved capsular-labral junction
- For larger cam deformities, a T-capsulotomy in line with the iliofemoral ligament may be performed and then repaired side-to-side to avoid iatrogenic hip instability and abnormal kinematics
