The Biomechanics of Femoroacetabular Impingement

Puncture Capsulotomy During Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement: Preserving Anatomy and Biomechanics

We describe an arthroscopic technique for the treatment of labral pathology and femoroacetabular impingement that provides excellent access to the central and peripheral compartments while preserving the biomechanically crucial components of hip joint stability. The hip capsule and the ligaments within it have been shown to be integral to hip biomechanical stability. Other popular techniques su...

Hip impingement: beyond femoroacetabular.

In the last 20 years, femoroacetabular impingement has been at the forefront of clinical practice as a cause of hip pain in young adults. As arthroscopic techniques for the hip continue to evolve, the possible presence of a new group of conditions creating mechanical conflict in and around the hip joint (ischiofemoral, subspine and iliopsoas impingement) has recently been elucidated whilst inte...

Simultaneous Bilateral Hip Arthroscopy in Adolescent Athletes with Symptomatic Femoroacetabular Impingement

BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement represents a common cause of hip pain in adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral hip arthroscopy for bilateral symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement in adolescent athletes. METHODS Clinical data were collected in a prospective database on patients who underwent unilateral or simu...
