Objective:

To report a case of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with significant acetabular labrum calcification.

Key Findings:
  • The patient experienced persistent hip pain and limited movement despite conservative treatment.
  • Surgical intervention led to improvement in symptoms and hip function.
  • No complications such as nerve or vascular injury, wound infection, or heterotopic ossification were reported.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
  • No long-term outcomes beyond nine months are reported.
Conclusion:

Arthroscopic debridement and labral reconstruction may be a treatment option for patients with FAI and labral calcification.
