Hip arthroscopy, and in particular arthroscopic femoroacetabular impingement correction, is in its infancy compared with many other orthopaedic procedures. As we assimilate knowledge, data, and evidence-based research, it is critical to evaluate surgical trends and how they affect our management of these patients and pathologies. However, it is important to recognize that there is great variability with regards to surgical volume and awareness of impending evidence-based research for relatively newer procedures such as hip arthroscopy. This can lead to delays for incorporating newer evidence-based techniques. The gap is closing, but the time required to close this disparity in management trends between higher-volume/academic surgeons and the orthopaedic community as a whole could be shorter. Whether this delay for adapting evidence-based trends is consistent across the spectrum of orthopaedic surgery or specific to smaller subspecialty areas such as hip arthroscopy is unclear. Regardless, it is essential that those who are performing the larger volume of cases and research must raise our voices, turn up our loudspeakers, and publish, present, and use social media platforms to spread the word of the latest evidence-based trends quickly!

In particular, intrascalene block has significant advantages in more complex procedures involving the anterior aspect of the shoulder. However, intrascalene block should be discouraged under conditions of respiratory comorbidity such as severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and morbid obesity. In such cases, a multimodal approach based on periarticular infiltration analgesia combined with pharmacologic therapies can ensure excellent pain control with limited use of opioids in the immediate postoperative period.
