The patient was a 41-year-old woman with an 8-month history of insidious sharp right groin pain and paresthesia radiating distally to the medial lower leg and foot with sitting and any activity involving hip extension. She denied any clicking in her hip. She was previously diagnosed by her internal medicine physician with a femoral hernia. However, surgical correction of hernia, as well as nons...

Conventional treatment of mild slipped capital femoral epiphysis consists of fixation in situ with wires or screws. Recent contributions to the literature suggest that even a mild slip may lead to early damage of the acetabular labrum and adjacent cartilage by abutment of a prominent femoral metaphysis. It has been suggested that the appropriate treatment in mild slipped capital femoral epiphys...

Although generally more common in adults, lower extremity impingement and friction syndromes are also observed in the pediatric age group. Encompassing femoroacetabular impingement, iliopsoas impingement, subspine impingement, and ischiofemoral impingement around the hip; patellar tendon-lateral femoral condyle friction syndrome; iliotibial band friction syndrome; and medial synovial plica synd...

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), sometimes termed acetabular rim syndrome, results from chronic mechanical abutment between the femoral head-neck junction and the acetabulolabral complex. Orthopedists have begun to recognize FAI as a cause of pain, instability and progressive hip dysfunction. Because FAI is implicated in the development of osteoarthritis in young individuals, orthopedists ha...

Femoroacetabular impingement is typically described as occurring due to a conflict between the femoral head-neck junction and acetabular rim. A prior case report described an open decompression of the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) due to impingement against the proximal femur. AIIS impingement may be developmental or the result of a prior AIIS avulsion or pelvic osteotomy. We describe 3 ...

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 ...

Abstract Imaging evaluation of the hip joint requires expert knowledge about detailed anatomy and specific injuries. This chapter will include various osseous pathologies that can affect such as stress fractures, osteonecrosis, or subchondral insufficiency fractures. Several types mechanical impingement between components be discussed femoroacetabular impingement, abnormal antetorsion, subspine...

Femoroacetabular impingement (F.A.I.) is a pathologic process caused by an abnormal shape of the acetabulum, of the femoral head, or both. F.A.I., often referred to as idiopathic, may be secondary to slipped capital femoral epiphysis, congenital hypoplasia of the femur, Legg-Calvé Perthes disease, post-traumatic mal-union and protrusio acetabuli. From 2009 to 2012 we studied 21 patients (14 mal...
