Arthroscopy, hip, surgical; with femoroplasty (ie, treatment of cam lesion)

AI EXPLANATION: Hip impingement surgery with femoroplasty is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure used to treat femoroacetabular impingement. A surgeon inserts a small camera called an arthroscope and specialized tools through tiny incisions to access the hip joint. The surgeon then gently shaves down and reshapes abnormal excess bone on the head and neck of the thigh bone (a cam lesion), allowing the ball-and-socket joint to move freely without friction or joint damage.
