INTRODUCTION Although combined evaluation of hip joint kinematics and bone morphology is necessary for accurate assessment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), there are no report which evaluated hip kinematics of pincer-type FAI. PRESENTATION OF CASE The pre- and postoperative hip kinematics of a 46-year-old man, with a pincer-type FAI during squat were evaluated using image-matching techn...

British Journal of General Practice, July 2013 e513 INTRODUCTION Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a pathological hip condition characterised by abnormal contact between the acetabulum and femoral head–neck junction.1 This can occur within the normal physiological range of motion as a result of osseous abnormalities described as either cam or pincer deformities. Cam deformities describe an ...

BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is one factor known to cause pain and osteoarthritis (OA) of the hips. Although secondary OA due to hip dysplasia is common among Japanese populations, primary OA is seldom observed. Concomitantly, FAI is also thought to be uncommon in Japan, but relatively few epidemiological studies have addressed this issue. This study aimed to clarify the preval...

Surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been advocated for correction of cam and pincer hip joint morphology. Surgery for FAI was first pioneered by Myers et al, who surgically treated FAI by open dislocation. Arthroscopy was then introduced in 2005 by Sampson. Arthroscopy has continued to develop since then, with the intent of providing pain relief and improving function in patients...

The patient was a 41-year-old woman with an 8-month history of insidious sharp right groin pain and paresthesia radiating distally to the medial lower leg and foot with sitting and any activity involving hip extension. She denied any clicking in her hip. She was previously diagnosed by her internal medicine physician with a femoral hernia. However, surgical correction of hernia, as well as nons...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated that hip and pelvis kinematics may be altered during functional tasks in persons with femoroacetabular impingement. The purpose of this study was to compare hip and pelvis kinematics and kinetics during a deep squat task between persons with cam femoroacetabular impingement and pain-free controls. METHODS Fifteen persons with cam femoroacetabular imp...
