Abstract

The alpha angle is currently the most used parameter for defining cam type femoroacetabular impingement(FAI). The purpose of this study was to determine if post-operative alpha angle is a predictor of patient outcomes 5 years following hip arthroscopy for FAI. Our hypothesis was that post-operative alpha angle(AA) would not influence clinical outcomes in patients with FAI.
