2026 SLARD Annual Meeting: Computer-Assisted Femoroplasty in Hip Arthroscopy With A Minimum Follow-Up of 2 Years

37 patients with primary femoroacetabular impingement undergoing hip arthroscopy were randomized to receive three-dimensional (3D) navigation-assisted femoroplasty or conventional fluoroscopy-assisted femoroplasty. The outcomes of interest were patient-reported outcome measures, including the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score–Sports Specific Subscale (HOSS-SSS), International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12), and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score. Other outcomes included radiographic correction of the alpha angle, achievement of clinically meaningful outcome thresholds, patient satisfaction, intraoperative findings, secondary surgical procedures, and revision rates. Outcomes were assessed at a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Overall, the results of the study revealed that both groups experienced significant improvements in hip function and pain, with similar postoperative outcomes, radiographic correction, and rates of achieving clinically meaningful improvement. These findings suggest that 3D navigation-assisted femoroplasty is safe and effective but did not demonstrate superior clinical outcomes compared with the conventional fluoroscopy-assisted technique at 2 years.
