In plain terms, it adjusts the socket’s bony edge to improve how the ball-and-socket joint fits and moves. It is most commonly discussed in the context of hip arthroscopy and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Depending on the clinical goal, it may reduce excess socket coverage or help optimize socket shape during corrective hip surgery.
