The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative complications and traction times in femoroacetabular impingement hip arthroscopy with either a peripheral or central compartment starting point. Sixty patients with femoroacetabular impingement were treated with hip arthroscopy. Thirty patients had a peripheral compartment starting point and 30 had a central compartment starting point. ...

conclusion the prevalence of radiological parameters associated with fai is high, even in an asymptomatic young population. this high frequency of features may suggest that the threshold values have been set too low in the current literature, or that these findings may reflect anatomical variation rather than true pathological abnormalities. background femoroacetabular impingement (fai) is one ...

Interpreting imaging studies of a painful hip requires detailed knowledge of the regional anatomy. Some variants of the proximal femur, such as cam-type deformities, can course asymptomatically or cause femoroacetabular impingement. The principal numerical criterion for defining cam-type deformities, the alpha angle, has some limitations. In this article, we review the anatomic variants of the ...

INTRODUCTION: Rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) has been recognized as an useful procedure, especially for early stage of osteoarthritis of the hip, with satisfactory intermediate and long-term results. In RAO, it is important to rotate the acetabular roof sufficiently, contributing to improvement of the acetabular roof coverage. On the other hand, femoroacetabular impingement due to acetab...

BACKGROUND Cam type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is an anatomical disorder that can lead to osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip joint. With existing surgical options there is invariably a tendency for under-resection or over-resection of the cam lesion, both having dire consequences. This study assessed the application of robotic technology in the surgical management of cam FAI. METHODS Thre...

BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is caused by an anatomic deviation of the acetabular rim or proximal femur, which causes chronic groin pain. Radiological identification of FAI can be challenging. Advances in imaging techniques with the use of computed tomography (CT) scan enable 3D simulation of FAI. We made an experimental cadaveric validation study to validate the 3D simulation ...

Recent epidemiological studies have demonstrated that radiographic features specific to femoroacetabular impingement appear far more frequently in healthy and asymptomatic cohorts than previously anticipated. It remains unclear how incidental findings should be interpreted clinically. In addition, several authors have suggested that a decreased range of motion is part of the clinical presentati...

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES As a result of reading this article, physicians should be able to: 1. Identify the etiology of femoroacetabular impingement. 2. Assess femoroacetabular impingement on physical examination. 3. Recognize femoroacetabular impingement on imaging studies. 4. Discuss modern techniques to effectively treat femoroacetabular impingement, both open and arthroscopic. Femoroacetabula...

INTRODUCTION: Improper resection depth in the surgical correction of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been identified as the most common reason for revision hip arthroscopy [1]. Under-resection fails to address patient symptoms and results in the need for revision arthroscopy [1], while over-resection may lead to iatrogenic femoral neck fracture, loss of the normal joint suction ...
