Conclusion:
A majority (82%) of adolescent patients presenting with FAI syndrome can be managed nonoperatively, with significant improvements in outcome scores at a mean follow-up of 2 years.

Clinical Relevance:
A nonoperative approach should be the first-line treatment for young active patients with symptomatic FAI syndrome.
