UNLABELLED Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by subtle abnormal morphology of the proximal femur and/or the acetabulum that leads to abnormal contact between the femoral neck and the acetabular rim during the hip range of motion. Traditionally, FAI has been managed safely and effectively with surgical hip dislocation; less invasive arthroscopic techniques a...

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is an increasingly recognized condition, which is believed to contribute to degenerative changes of the hip. This correlation has led to a great deal of interested in diagnosis and treatment of FAI. FAI can be divided into two groups: cam and pincer type impingement. FAI can lead to chondral and labral pathologies, that if left untreated, can progress rapidly ...

The femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is as condition recently characterized that results from the abnormal anatomic and functional relation between the proximal femur and the acetabular border, associated with repetitive movements, which lead labrum and acetabular cartilage injuries. Such alterations result from anatomical variations such as acetabular retroversion or decrease of the femoroac...

Background: In clinical practice, ossifications adjoining the acetabular rim are frequently seen in healthy-appearing hip joints, at all ages. The origin of these (ARO) is unclear. While ARO have been described by some authors as variants that may mimic marginal osteophytes, others hypothesized be cause or consequence femoroacetabular impingement. Overall, literature on limited, particular heal...

Context: Labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are increasingly recognized sources of hip pain and disability. FAI has two pathoanatomic phenotypes, Cam and Pincer impingement, and both of these lesions can cause labral tear and its associated symptoms, which can in turn lead to osteoarthritis. Hip arthroscopy is an increasingly popular technique with the potential to address thes...

BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can be a source of hip pain in young adults. Some reports have revealed that participation in high-impact sports may play a role in the development of cam deformity, and there is a higher prevalence of signs of cam impingement in asymptomatic adolescents who participate in soccer and basketball than in non-athlete controls; however, current evidence...
