Summary

  • In patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement, meticulous femoral osteoplasty is required — that is, careful removal of bone from the appropriate areas.
  • This calls for constantly changing between instruments to remove and debride tissue.
  • We now use the new Tricera instrument from Zimmer Biomet, which combines three functions in a single tool.
  • This allows us to reduce operating time while also increasing the accuracy of the osteoplasty.
