Abstract
Failure or unsatisfactory results after hip arthroscopy can be a consequence of poor patient selection, progression of chondral damage, or failure to correct the bony alteration causing femoroacetabular impingement. The insufficient resection either at the acetabular or femoral side leads to a persistent impingement. It is one of the main causes for revision hip arthroscopy. The excessive or non-anatomical resection at the acetabular or femoral side can cause hip instability or femoral neck fractures. Essential to prevent these complications are the detailed planning of the amount of bony resection, as well as the correct surgical technique.
