INTRODUCTION: Athletic pubalgia, also known as sports hernia, is a common clinical presentation of localized groin pain, which can affect several locations including: adductor origin, inguinal region, acetabular/hip region and at the pubic symphysis [1]. Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) has been suspected as a major cause of groin pain in athletes, but a clear linkage has yet to be establishe...

Here we describe a 28-year-old man with a history of right hip pain for the past 11 years and ankylosing spondylitis for the past 6 months. Imaging studies showed an exostosis in the femoral neck causing femoroacetabular impingement. The patient was diagnosed with coxarthrosis. This case report suggests that femoroacetabular impingement may accelerate the degenerative process in the hip joint.

Cam and pincer are two common morphologies responsible for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Previous literature has reported that cam deformity is predominantly a male morphology, while being significantly less common in females. Cam morphology is commonly assessed with the alpha angle, measured on radiographs. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of cam morphology utiliz...

OBJECTIVE To present our experience and preliminary results from using controlled hip dislocation to treat cam-like femoroacetabular impingement, in teenagers and young adults with sequelae of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis on 15 patients who were treated in a tertiary-level hospital between 2011 and 2013. The following data were collected for ana...

INTRODUCTION Surgical treatment is the treatment of choice in patients with symptoms and radiological signs of femoroacetabular impingement. OBJECTIVE Our experience and early results of surgical treatment of patients with signs of femoroacetabular impingement and early hip osteoarthritis are reported. METHODS The results of treatment of 21 patients aged 23-54 years with different types of ...
