A novel concept of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement treatment with patient-specific template guided osteochondral deformity ablation.

Mini-open anterior hip approach with the PST-guided cam-type FAI deformity ablation presents an accurate and reproducible solution for cam-type FAI surgical treatment, with promising clinical outcomes. Using a PST in the cam-type FAI surgery may present a powerful additional tool in the existing open techniques armamentarium.
