Hip impingement, or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), occurs when the femoral head pinches up against the acetabulum. Alex Johnson, M.D. and Brian Lee, P.A.-C. discuss the symptoms to look for when treating patients and the surgical vs. nonsurgical treatment options for FAI. Pathology. Femoroacetabular impingement is an intra-articular or internal form of impingement, where structural changes combined with dynamic factors as repetitive abnormal contact of the acetabulum and the femoral head-neck junction lead to mechanical stress and shear forces on the labrum and chondral surfaces and subsequent damage 1-4. Purpose of Review The purpose of this paper is to review the history of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), discuss its pathophysiology and clinical presentation, identify radiographic parameters used to characterize FAI, and provide an updated summary of outcome-based non-operative and surgical treatments for FAI syndrome based on recent trends and developments.
