Three types of FAI are recognized (see title image). The first involves an excess of bone along the upper surface of the femoral head, known as a cam deformity (abbreviation for camshaft, which the shape of the femoral head and neck resembles). The second is due to an excess of growth of the upper lip of the acetabular cup and is known as a ...
The results of hip arthroscopic techniques will depend on the indication for the operation and perhaps also on the experience of the surgeon. Published reports are certainly encouraging, [22] [23] and the number of research papers reporting the results of hip arthroscopic surgery is increasing rapidly. As an approximation, for FAI surgery ...
Hip arthroscopy was initially used for the diagnosis of unexplained hip pain, but is now widely used in the treatment of conditions both in and outside the hip joint. The most common indication currently is for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and its associated pathologies. Hip conditions that may be treated arthroscopically ...
Risk Factors. Risk factors for hip pain make you more likely to experience it. Some (but not all) overlap with the causes of hip pain, such as different types of arthritis and injuries.
Hip dysplasia is a condition that occurs when the bones in your hip joint don't fit together correctly, according to the Cleveland Clinic. While it’s more commonly diagnosed in young children ...
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis. [1] Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi/semi(half) replacement. Such joint replacement orthopaedic surgery is generally conducted to relieve arthritis pain or in some hip fractures.
Hip replacement surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, involves replacing an injured hip with an artificial joint, in order to reduce pain and improve movement. There are about 350,000 such ...
Hip resurfacing has been developed as a surgical alternative to total hip replacement (THR). The procedure consists of placing a cap (usually made of cobalt-chrome metal), which is hollow and shaped like a mushroom, over the head of the femur while a matching metal cup (similar to what is used with a THR) is placed in the acetabulum (pelvis socket), replacing the articulating surfaces of the ...
