title: Chondral Lesions of the Hip.
abstract: The treatment of chondral hip injuries is challenging. However, for young patients with hip disorders, orthopedic surgeons now have the opportunity to intervene early in the development of debilitating joint disease. As understanding of the hip joint continues to evolve, more effective treatment strategies are emerging. There are several reportedly successful options for surgical treatment. This article reviews the clinical presentation of chondral injuries and the surgical modalities, arthroscopic and open, available to treat them.
