Hip Joint Stresses Due to Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Systematic Review of Finite Element Simulations

Does Femoroacetabular Impingement Cause Hip Instability? A Systematic Review.

PURPOSE To determine whether femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is associated with hip instability. METHODS A systematic search examining FAI and hip instability was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Clinical and basic science studies were included. Instability had to be documented with either a clinical or imaging e...

Radiographic Diagnosis of Pincer-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Systematic Review

BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a well-recognized condition that causes hip pain and can lead to early osteoarthritis if not managed properly. With the increasing awareness and efficacy of operative treatments for pincer-type FAI, there is a need for consensus on the standardized radiographic diagnosis. PURPOSE To perform a systematic review of the evidence regarding imaging ...

The Etiology of Cam-type Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Cadaveric Study.

BACKGROUND There is a dearth of literature examining the causes of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and when such morphology appears. The purpose of the current study was to analyze how the ossific portion of the proximal femur develops over time with respect to standard cam-type FAI parameters. METHODS A collection of 193 femurs from cadavers aged 4 to 21 years were evaluated. The...

Preoperative physical examination and imaging of femoroacetabular impingement prior to hip arthroscopy—a systematic review

The purpose of this systematic review is to report current preoperative assessment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) including physical examination and imaging modalities prior to hip arthroscopy, and report current imaging measures used in the diagnosis of FAI. The electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE and PubMed were searched and screened in duplicate for relevant studies. Data regarding ...
