Femoroacetabular impingement has recently become a recognized cause of disability and hip arthritis. Hip arthroscopy and femoroacetabular reshaping have been performed to treat this condition. Quantification of the excess femoral and acetabular bone requiring resection has been challenging with the less invasive arthroscopic technique. We describe the use of intraoperative computed tomography assessing osteochondroplasty during arthroscopic surgery to treat cam-and pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement. We also describe the technical steps and present the important radiologic findings we have been able to visualize. We found intraoperative computed tomography scanning to be a reliable and reproducible method of assessing the quality of femoroacetabular impingement surgery. We believe that femoroacetabular impingement surgery can be assessed intraoperatively by use of computed tomography scanning where corrections can be made if necessary.
