BACKGROUND The appropriate treatment in mild slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) should not only prevent further slipping of the epiphysis but also address potential femoroacetabular impingement by restoring the anatomy of the proximal femur. The aim of this study was to quantify length of the remodeling phase mediated by growth of the femoral neck, after treatment of SCFE with a screw des...

Labral tears are commonly associated with femoroacetabular impingement. We reviewed 151 patients (156 hips) with femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears who had been treated arthroscopically. These were subdivided into those who had undergone a labral repair (group 1) and those who had undergone resection of the labrum (group 2). In order to ensure the groups were suitably matched for com...

Femoroacetabular impingement is a cause of hip pain in adults and is potentially a precursor of osteoarthritis. Our aim in this study was to determine the prevalence of bilateral deformity in patients with symptomatic cam-type femoroacetabular impingement as well as the presence of associated acetabular abnormalities and hip pain. We included all patients aged 55 years or less seen by the senio...

A 37-year-old woman presented with sharp pain in the right hip that had been present for 3 years; the pain was localized to the groin. She also had episodes of “catching” in the hip joint. Conservative treatment had been tried but without success. On examination, there was an antalgic limp, a positive impingement sign and a reduction in internal rotation. Radiographs did not show any hip joint ...

Young adults with hip pain secondary to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are rapidly being recognised as an important cohort of orthopaedic patients. Interest in FAI has intensified over the last decade since its recognition as a precursor to arthritis of the hip and the number of publications related to the topic has increased exponentially in the last decade. Although not all patients with ...

fracture mapping of late permian-early triassic flat-lying sedimentary rocks in the sydney basin,new south wales, australia, shows that joints developed originally in extension were faulted in subsequentevents. joints with a regional distribution fall into two (early and late) formed groups. group i joints propagatedhorizontally and never interfered with each other. these joints were subsequent...

BACKGROUND Symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement is a known prearthritic condition. Impingement morphology is poorly defined in the adolescent population. The purpose of this study was to document the prevalence of radiographic impingement morphology in adolescents with no symptomatic hip problems. METHODS Ninety anteroposterior images of the hip in forty-five consecutive adolescents with ...
