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 ...
Necrotic bone and inflammation histology slide. The current etiology or origin of this disease is unknown. Some studies theorized that bone remodeling is maintained in a microenvironment in the FH meaning that there is a greater local component to changes to the femoral head than the normal systemic way that bone remodeling is handled throughout the body.
No osteoarthritis signs 1: Mild: increased osteosclerosis; minor joint space narrowing (normal joint space is at least 2 mm at the superior acetabulum) [7] no or minor loss of head sphericity; 2: Moderate: small bone cyst; moderate joint space narrowing; moderate loss of head sphericity; 3: Severe: large bone cysts
Femoral head showing a flap of cartilage due to avascular necrosis (osteochondritis dissecans). Specimen removed during total hip replacement surgery. Specialty: Orthopedics: Symptoms: Joint pain, decreased ability to move [1] Complications: Osteoarthritis [1] Usual onset: Gradual [1] Risk factors: Bone fractures, joint dislocations, high dose ...
The medial circumflex femoral artery is the principal source of blood supply to the femoral head. LCP disease is a vascular restrictive condition of idiopathic nature. Symptoms like femoral head disfigurement, flattening, and collapse occur typically between ages four and ten, mostly male children of Caucasian descent.
In radiology, the crescent sign is a finding on conventional radiographs that is associated with avascular necrosis. [1] [2] [3] It usually occurs later in the disease, in stage III of the four-stage Ficat classification system. [1] It appears as a curved subchondral radiolucent line that is often found on the proximal femoral or humeral head. [1]
Medical condition Osteochondritis dissecans A large flap lesion in the femur head typical of late stage Osteochondritis dissecans. In this case, the lesion was caused by avascular necrosis of the bone just under the cartilage.

The superior-lateral coverage of the femoral head. >20° (<55 years old) [notes 2] <24° (>55 years old) [notes 2] >40° indicates overcoverage; Reimer's migration index [9] The percentage of the femoral head that lies outside of the acetabular roof. It is also called the femoral extrusion index. <25% Tönnis angle
