Improving Joint Function and Reducing Pain
Femoroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the reshaping of the femoral head and neck to improve joint function and reduce pain. This procedure is typically performed on patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a condition in which the bones of the hip joint rub against each other, causing damage to the joint. During the procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions in the hip area and use specialized tools to remove any excess bone or tissue that is causing the impingement. The femoral head and neck will then be reshaped to fit more smoothly into the hip socket. Recovery time for femoroplasty varies depending on the extent of the surgery, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few weeks to a few months. Overall, femoroplasty can greatly improve hip joint function and quality of life for patients suffering from FAI.
