A member asked:

Just had arthroscopic hip surgery to repair torn labrum, cartilage damage and repair of cam impingement. what is the percentage of further surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cam lesions hip: Surgery and diagnosis for these problems is in its infancy. Became popular only a few years ago. Success has been varied. The few patients that I have followed admit that post operatively the problem is no worse. Good luck.
