Five-year results of arthroscopic techniques for the treatment of acetabular chondral lesions in femoroacetabular impingement.

摘要

This study suggests that both arthroscopic MACI and AMIC are valid procedures to repair medium-sized chondral defects on the acetabular side of the hip found during treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. Due to its high sustainability and minimal invasiveness, the single-stage AMIC procedure can reduce total treatment time and minimise morbidity while providing the same beneficial effects as the two-stage MACI intervention.
