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...

Femoroacetabular impingement is a disorder associated with labrochondral injury and the development of osteoarthritis. Although femoroacetabular impingement is a 3-dimensional disorder with variable size and extent of impingement between individuals, there are 2 primary types of hip impingement: Cam-type and Pincer-type. Cam-type impingement is the result of asphericity of the femoral head-neck...

The role for the arthroscopic correction of femoroacetabular impingement continues to evolve. As the understanding of hip pathomorphology improves and arthroscopic techniques for managing these disorders advance, the indications for arthroscopic femoroacetabular correction become clearer. Attention to detail with respect to diagnoses and surgical management is critical to optimize outcomes in t...

CONTEXT In active individuals with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), the resultant reduction in functional range of motion leads to high impaction loads at terminal ranges. These increased forces result in compensatory effects on bony and soft tissue structures within the hip joint and hemipelvis. An algorithm is useful in evaluating athletes with pre-arthritic, mechanical hip pain and associ...

BACKGROUND Recently, arthroscopic-based treatment for hip-related pain with radiological findings of femoroacetabular impingement and labral lesions has been developed.We aim to present clinical outcome in a single centre patient cohort of patients treated arthroscopically for hip-related pain due to femoroacetabular impingement. METHODS A total of 117 consecutive patients operated in 2009-20...
