Socioeconomic factors are increasingly recognized as critical determinants of health outcomes, even in specialized care like orthopedic surgery. A recent study done by Dr. Okoroha’s colleagues explored how neighborhood-level socioeconomic status, measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), influences recovery after hip arthroscopy.
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has emerged as a significant contributor to hip pain and dysfunction, particularly in younger, active individuals. Advances in arthroscopic techniques have revolutionized treatment options, enabling minimally invasive approaches with promising outcomes.
Hip arthroscopy has become a leading treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a condition where hip joint deformities cause pain and limit movement.
For patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), predicting the severity of hip joint damage is crucial to guiding treatment options. Recent research by Dr. Okoroha’s colleagues has focused on the alpha angle (AA), a radiographic measurement that appears linked to the risk of chondral (cartilage) damage in the hip.
In recent years, hip arthroscopy has become an essential treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a condition that causes joint pain and limits mobility.
