The Ribas Osteoplasty is one of the best-accepted surgical techniques in the world.

It comprises one of three techniques used in the world for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement, developed by our unit and known as the Ribas osteoplasty via minimally invasive approach with a 6-8 cm incision, which is a less aggressive variation of the Ganz Osteoplasty (between 20 and 30 cm).
