BACKGROUND We wanted to investigate acetabular labral tears and their correlation with femoroacetabular impingement in patients with sports injury. METHODS Among 111 patients who were diagnosed with the acetabular labral tears after arthroscopic treatment from January 2004 to December 2007, we selected 41 patients with sports injury. There were 12 cases of Taekwondo injury, 5 of golf injury, ...

Femoroacetabular impingement is recognised as being a cause of labral tears and chondral damage. We report a series of five patients who presented with persistent pain in the hip after arthroscopy for isolated labral debridement. All five had a bony abnormality consistent with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. They had a further operation to correct the abnormality by chondro-osteoplasty o...

CONTEXT Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common cause of intra-articular hip pathology and secondary osteoarthritis. It affects athletes at a young age as they push their bodies beyond the diminished physiologic limits imposed by the altered joint morphology. Understanding the cause of this condition and its assessment in athletes is important. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The scientific liter...

Recent epidemiological studies have demonstrated that radiographic features specific to femoroacetabular impingement appear far more frequently in healthy and asymptomatic cohorts than previously anticipated. It remains unclear how incidental findings should be interpreted clinically. In addition, several authors have suggested that a decreased range of motion is part of the clinical presentati...

Recent developments in hip arthroscopy techniques and technology have made it possible in many cases to avoid open surgical technique for treating pincer-type and cam-type femoroacetabular impingement and rather treating it arthroscopically. Early reports suggest favorable results using arthroscopic techniques. The frequency of complications reported for hip arthroscopy for all indications is g...

BackgroundAcetabular retroversion results in reduced range of motion, and is thought to contribute femoroacetabular impingement. Severe can be corrected with a periacetabular osteotomy, which technically demanding intervention. In this study, we investigated whether increasing femoral antetorsion potential alternative restore the motion how approach would affect hip joint loading.MethodsSix dif...

INTRODUCTION: In the native hip joint, Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) is also recognized as a cause of hip arthritis. Correction of the underlying structural abnormality permits the patient to regain a painless functional range of motion. A 2D approach to find an abnormality by checking alpha and beta angles [1] has been used. In cam type impingement where the femoral head is aspherical, re...

BACKGROUND Previous studies reporting the impact of osteoarthritis (OA) on pain and function after hip arthroscopy largely predate resection of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We determined (1) functional improvement after resection of FAI impingement lesions in patients with preoperative radiographic joint space narrowing, and (2) identified preoperative predictors of ...

We describe an arthroscopic technique for the treatment of labral pathology and femoroacetabular impingement that provides excellent access to the central and peripheral compartments while preserving the biomechanically crucial components of hip joint stability. The hip capsule and the ligaments within it have been shown to be integral to hip biomechanical stability. Other popular techniques su...
