This study aimed to measure Cam deformity in each patient with 3D-CT spherical fitting technique, plan the resection range of Cam deformity preoperatively, so as to achieve precise resection intraoperatively and evaluate the prognosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients of Cam-type FAI and underwent hip arthroscopy during August 2024 to February 2025 were involved. Preoperatively, all patients underwent CT scan, the spherical fitting measurement was performed to plan the resection range of Cam deformity, and the surgical operation was guided according to the plan. The post-operative alpha angle, femoral head-neck off-set ratio, as well as the mHHS and VAS at 3 and 6 months after the surgery were collected, and compared with that before the surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      29 patients were included and followed with no missing cases.
