BACKGROUND: Since it was developed, hip arthroscopy has become the favored treatment for @entity1743 . Due to recent considerable improvements, the indications for this technique have been widely extended. Injuries of the rectus femoris tendon origin, after an acute phase, could result in a chronic @entity924 with @entity692 crystal deposition, leading to @entity158 and loss of function. Traditionally, this condition is addressed by local injection of anesthetic and @entity288 or, when conservative measures fail, by open excision of the @entity730 by an anterior approach. PURPOSE: To assess whether arthroscopic excision of @entity730 of the proximal rectus is a safe and effective treatment. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Outcomes were studied from 6 top amateur @entity2587 (age range, 30-43 years; mean, 32.6 years) affected by @entity730 of the proximal rectus who underwent arthroscopic excision of the @entity730 . @entity1 were preoperatively assessed radiographically, and diagnosis was confirmed by a 3-dimensional computed tomography scan. To evaluate the outcome, standardized hip rating scores were used pre- and postoperatively (at 6 and 12 months): the @entity717 and @entity571 Outcome Score, Oxford Hip Score, and Modified Harris Hip Score. Moreover, visual analog scales (VAS) for @entity158 , sport activity level (SAL), and activities of daily living (ADL) were also used. RESULTS: One year after surgery, all @entity1 reported satisfactory outcomes, with 3 of 6 rating their return-to-sport level as high as preinjury level, and the remaining 3 with a percentage higher than 80%. Five @entity1 ranked their ability to carry on daily activities at 100%. Statistical analysis showed significant improvement of the Oxford Hip Score, the Modified Harris Hip Score, and all 3 VAS subscales ( @entity158 , SAL, and ADL) from pre- to latest postoperative assessment (P < .05). CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic excision of rectus femoris @entity730 yields satisfying results with few risks to the @entity1 as well as rapid recovery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The recent improvements in hip arthroscopy give the opportunity to address an increasing number of hip conditions effectively and safely, with rapid recovery for the @entity1 . Arthroscopic excision of rectus femoris @entity730 can be considered a feasible option, with few risks to the @entity1 , rapid recovery, and satisfying outcomes.
