What should be done if pain recurs after hip arthroscopy for impingement?

Doctor’s answer

The pain source should be reassessed, including residual bony impingement, recurrent labral injury, cartilage damage, capsular problems, hip flexor tendinitis, and lumbar-sacral or sacroiliac sources. Management may include rehabilitation adjustment, repeat imaging, diagnostic injection, and, in a small number of patients, revision surgery assessment.
