Abstract Imaging evaluation of the hip joint requires expert knowledge about detailed anatomy and specific injuries. This chapter will include various osseous pathologies that can affect such as stress fractures, osteonecrosis, or subchondral insufficiency fractures. Several types mechanical impingement between components be discussed femoroacetabular impingement, abnormal antetorsion, subspine...

Femoroacetabular impingement is uncommonly associated to a rim fracture. Complete resection of the fragment might result in iatrogenic instability or poor femoral head coverage. In this report, we describe the step-by-step surgical technique of arthroscopic partial resection of a rim fracture, reduction and internal fixation of the remaining fragment to correct the impingement, and preserve the...
