Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive, effective and innovative orthopedic procedure with a relatively low rate of complications. In our patient, residual cam deformity and a bone fragment that remained in the front hip capsule after hip arthroscopy performed three years before caused thigh numbness, muscle fasciculations, and paresthesia. It was assumed that the loose bony fragment remained following burring on prior procedure. During hip flexion, neural structures were compressed and caused the mentioned symptoms. Revision hip arthroscopy was performed and the loose fragment in addition to residual cam deformity was removed. Resolution of pain and anterior thigh numbness was reported after the revision surgery.
