Abstract The femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is a motion-related disorder of the hip joint with premature contact between acetabulum and proximal femur. It relatively new clinical entity no strict treatment protocols guidelines have been established yet. Furthermore, patients are often misdiagnosed not properly treated. We report case young adult female patient presenting bilateral...

Acetabular labral calcifications are occasionally encountered during hip arthroscopy for tears and femoroacetabular impingement. Clinical outcomes after removal of this calcification repair tearing have been shown to be good. Since these found in asymptomatic patients, the treatment impingement seem more important than calcification. However, amorphous calcium deposits need distinguished from s...

OBJECTIVE To correlate the angles between the acetabulum and the proximal femur in symptomatic patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), using computed tomography (CT). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 103 hips from 103 patients, using multislice CT to measure the acetabular age, acetabular version (in its supraequatorial portion and in its middle third), femoral neck version, cer...

BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), it is a clinical syndrome relatively recently recognized as source of hip mechanic pain and early osteoarthritis. Two types of FAI have been described, based on the bone morphology and pattern of chondral and labral damage; the cam type is frequently associated with chondral delamination; and the pincer type is associated with a contre-coup injury ...

CONTEXT Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been described as a common cause of hip pain in young adults. This leads to abnormal hip joint mechanics and contact pressures. The associated pathomechanics can lead to the development of early osteoarthritis. Better understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology, biomechanics, and diagnostic and therapeutic advances has led to improved clinical...

UNLABELLED We prospectively evaluated the degree of absolute agreement between measurements of lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) on plain radiography (XR) and computed tomography (CT) in a consecutive cohort of 205 patients (410 hips) undergoing hip arthroscopy. Preoperative measurements of the LCEA were performed bilaterally utilizing standardized anteroposterior radiographs and coronal reforma...
