Rejected petition hip arthroscopy for FAI hip impingement sufferers.

More details

Hip Arthroscopy to treat FAI (femoral acetabular impingement) can be a life changing operation. Freeing the patient from a life sentence of pain and disability.

Many PCT's up and down the UK are refusing to allow this keyhole surgery on the NHS and so are condemning many young people to a life that is hugely restricted by pain and disability. Sufferers are often unable to work, participate in any sport, or simply be involved in ordinary day to day life activities.

This petition is to gather enough support to oppose these PCT's rulings.

Thank you so much for your support
