Delaminated acetabular cartilage is a common finding in patients undergoing surgical dislocation or hip arthroscopy in the treatment of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement.

We sought to examine if the acetabular cartilage still has viable cartilage cells and, if so, what type of cartilage is present.
