Key Points

  • To explore the effectiveness of arthroscopic bony hip remplissage using a greater trochanter autograft in treating hip pain related to prior surgeries.
  • Clinical case analysis of a 21-year-old woman with prior hip surgeries.
  • Radiographic assessment to confirm labral tear and cam over-resection.
  • Surgical procedures included arthroscopic iliotibial band labral reconstruction and bony remplissage.
  • Successful bony remplissage technique applied, leading to improved symptoms.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of autograft utilization in hip surgeries.

Abstract

Case: A 21-year-old woman with a surgical history of 2 prior right hip surgeries presented with ongoing right hip pain. Radiographic findings demonstrated a labral tear, osteoarthritic changes, and cam over-resection. Arthroscopic iliotibial band autograft labral reconstruction and bony remplissage of the femoral defect using a greater trochanter autograft were performed. Conclusion: Arthroscopic bony hip remplissage is a viable treatment option for young patients who present after failed hip arthroscopy with cam over-resection.
