The frequency of the bony parameters of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome in young asymptomatic individuals: a computed tomography study

Objectives: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is a painful disorder of the hip formed by movements in joint between femoral head-neck junction and acetabular edge. The aim this study was to determine prevalence radiological femoroacetabular findings young, asymptomatic Turkish population. Methods: A total 1000 abdominal pelvic CT images were collected from patients aged 18–40 years. Measurements taken on alpha angle head offset as signs cam-type deformity, version center-edge pincer-type deformity. Results: determined 2.3% individuals. Pincer type deformity 56.5%, being 83.3% females 47.1% males. present 43.5% all cases, 16.7% 52.9% No difference genders respect which >55°. <8 mm at higher rate (13.3%) than An anteversion <15° centre-edge >40° more males 11% 25.2% respectively. Conclusion: results showed that incidence adult lower population previously reported literature.
