Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition involving one or more anatomical abnormalities of the hip joint, which is a ball and socket joint. [1] It is a common cause of hip pain and discomfort in young and middle-aged adults. [ 2 ]
Femur or acetabular dysplasia can lead to femoral acetabular impingement (FAI). Impingement occurs when the femoral head rubs abnormally or lacks a full range of motion in the acetabular socket. [7] There are three different forms of FAI. The first form is caused by a cam-deformity where extra bone is present on the femoral head, which leads to ...
The most common indication is for the treatment of FAI (femoral acetabular impingement) [5] and its associated pathologies such as labral tears [6] and cartilage abnormalities, [7] among others (see Table 1). Table 1. A selection of hip conditions that may be treated arthroscopically.
The surgery is being called by the team a left hip femoral acetabular impingement surgery and he is expected to be ready for spring training. Palm Beach Cardinals win first-half FSL Eastern ...
Patient pain is ofter exacerbated by sitting and athletic activities. Many patients undergoing labral reconstruction have failed conservative therapy, which typically includes intra-articular injections and physical therapy. A majority of patients have abnormal acetabular or femoral bony morphology typical of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
Although traditionally belonging to the arena of radiographs, the role of MRI has been stressed after the term femoral acetabular impingement was coined in 2003. Growing interest has been focused in accurate diagnosis of the acetabular and femoral morphological abnormalities that may lead to early osteoarthritis. [1]
Abnormal orientation of the acetabular socket as seen in hip dysplasia can lead to hip subluxation (partial dislocation), degeneration of the acetabular labrum. Excessive coverage of femoral head by the acetabulum can lead to pincer-type femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI). [7]
The positive Drehmann sign is a typical clinical feature in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), the impingement syndrome of the acetabulum-hip, or in osteoarthritis of the hip joint. [ 3 ] References
