What are the adverse effects on running performance of getting a cam lesion surgically removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk Factors: With any surgery there are risk factors. That is what you should discuss with your physician. Make sure they know your goals. Remember that surgical intervention for a cam lesion means removing bone from the neck of your femur. The body needs to recover from this and if you come back to quick or too soon, you could fracture the bone! that is a catastrophic issue...
