Osseous impingement occurs early in flexion in cam-type femoroacetabular impingement

Osseous impingement occurs early in flexion in cam-type femoroacetabular impingement: a 4D CT model.

AIMS The aim of this study was to examine the real time in vivo kinematics of the hip in patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 50 patients (83 hips) underwent 4D dynamic CT scanning of the hip, producing real time osseous models of the pelvis and femur being moved through flexion, adduction, and internal rotation. The location and size of t...

Pincer-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement

Pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement is an acetabular/pelvic-sided disorder. Although acetabular overcoverage is a common theme for this disorder, there are distinct pincer subtypes with variable pathomorphologies that must be considered when contemplating the ideal approach and treatment for these disorders. In addition, emerging evidence suggests that extra-articular pelvic structures, su...

Statistical shape modeling of cam femoroacetabular impingement.

Statistical shape modeling (SSM) was used to quantify 3D variation and morphologic differences between femurs with and without cam femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). 3D surfaces were generated from CT scans of femurs from 41 controls and 30 cam FAI patients. SSM correspondence particles were optimally positioned on each surface using a gradient descent energy function. Mean shapes for groups w...

Correlation Between Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement and Radiographic Osteitis Pubis.

A mechanistic link has been suggested between cam-type femoroacetabular impingement and increased stress on the symphysis pubis. This retrospective study was conducted to determine whether there is an increased prevalence of osteitis pubis, as evidenced by imaging, in patients with femoroacetabular impingement compared with age-matched control subjects. Search of a radiologic database of a larg...
