Hip and groin pain has, for many years, been a difficult diagnostic challenge. In the past decade there has been increased focus on femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) as a cause. FAI is now considered by many as a primary cause of hip joint degeneration. Our appreciation and understanding of FAI is currently increasing at an exponential rate.
