This document discusses femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a condition where the femoral head and acetabulum abnormally contact each other, from the perspective of a sports physiotherapist. It describes the two main types of FAI - cam impingement caused by a nonspherical femoral head, and pincer impingement caused by excessive acetabular coverage. Most cases involve a mix of both. Conservative physiotherapy management focuses on reducing inflammation, strengthening muscles, and gentle stretching. Surgical intervention like arthroscopy may be considered if conservative treatment fails to allow athletes to return to play.
This document discusses femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI), which occurs when the femoral head and neck abnormally contact the acetabular rim, causing damage. There are two main types: cam impingement from an abnormal femoral head-neck junction; and pincer impingement from acetabular overcoverage. Accurate diagnosis using clinical exams and imaging of the alpha angle and offset ratios is important for determining treatment, which may include hip arthroscopy, osteochondroplasty, or periacetabular osteotomy. FAI is commonly seen in young, active individuals and certain athletic activities increase risk.
This document discusses hip pain in young adults, focusing on femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). It describes how FAI was initially theorized in the 1960s-1970s to result from subtle deformities of the hip leading to osteoarthritis. In the 1990s, FAI was further defined as being caused by deformities of the femoral head-neck junction (cam type) or acetabulum (pincer type), or a combination of the two. The document outlines the typical patient history, physical exam findings, imaging features, and surgical treatment for FAI.
This document provides an overview of femoro-acetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). It defines FAIS as impingement between the proximal femur and acetabulum leading to cartilage injury and pain. There are two main types: cam FAI, caused by a bony thickening at the femoral head-neck junction; and pincer FAI, caused by an anomaly in the acetabular structure. Clinical features include groin pain, decreased range of motion, and late-stage osteoarthritis. Treatment involves both non-operative options like physical therapy as well as surgical options like arthroscopic surgery to resect impingement lesions and repair labral tears.
The document discusses femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a cause of hip pain and damage in athletes. FAI occurs when the femoral head and acetabulum abnormally contact each other, either from bone growth (CAM impingement) or acetabular overcoverage (pincer impingement). Surgery aims to correct the impingement through osteoplasty of the femoral head or acetabulum. While conservative care is sometimes attempted, surgery best addresses the underlying biomechanical issue causing FAI and progression of damage.

Presentation1.pptx, radiological imaging of anteversion angle.Abdellah Nazeer
Femoral anteversion is defined as the angle between the femoral neck and knee joint. In adults, the normal range is 15-20 degrees, but some individuals have angles outside this range which can contribute to orthopedic problems. CT scans are used to precisely measure the femoral anteversion angle by assessing the alignment of the femoral neck and condyles. The summary describes how femoral anteversion is measured and implications of abnormal angles.
The document discusses diagnostic radiology of musculoskeletal system fractures and tumor-like lesions. It begins by defining fractures and describing their classification, location, alignment, healing process and complications. It then discusses specific fracture types like Colles fractures, supracondylar fractures, compression fractures and burst fractures. Finally, it covers tumor-like lesions such as osteosarcoma, describing their presentation, location and radiographic findings.
Radiological Examination of Shoulder and ElbowHein Htet Zaw
This document discusses radiological examinations of the shoulder and elbow. It provides an overview of various imaging modalities including plain films, CT, ultrasound, MRI, and arthroscopy. For the shoulder, plain films are useful initial tests but have limitations in visualizing soft tissues. CT is helpful for trauma while ultrasound and MRI are better for soft tissues. MRI is particularly useful for assessing rotator cuff, labrum, and cartilage injuries. Arthroscopy allows both diagnostic evaluation and treatment of intra-articular shoulder pathology. For the elbow, a similar approach is followed initially with plain films and subsequently ultrasound, CT or MRI as needed depending on the suspected injury.

It provides details on the open surgical technique of safe hip dislocation, including the osteotomy, exposure, visualization, and steps to address acetabular and femoral abnormalities.
Diagnostic imaging of bones and joints (1)Vijaya Krishna
Plain film radiography is often the initial imaging modality used to evaluate bones and joints. Key factors that determine the radiographic appearance of structures include composition, thickness, and contrast medium usage. Standard views such as anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique are used to demonstrate anatomy while minimizing radiation exposure. Interpretation of radiographs involves assessing alignment, bone density, cartilage spaces, and soft tissues for abnormalities that may indicate conditions such as trauma, degeneration, inflammation, or infection.
This document discusses osteotomies around the hip, including:
- Pelvic and femoral osteotomies are surgical procedures where the bone is cut to change alignment.
- They are used for conditions like hip dysplasia, osteoarthritis, fractures, and deformities.
- Various techniques are described for different anatomical locations and clinical indications to achieve stability, union, pain relief and correction of deformities.
- Key measurements used to assess hip dysplasia on imaging are also outlined.
This document provides an introduction to skeletal imaging. It discusses the overview of the skeletal system including the number and types of bones.

It also discusses major diseases of bone including trauma, infections, tumors and arthritic disorders. For each condition, it outlines the general considerations, etiology and characteristic radiological features. It provides details on fracture healing and complications. Overall, the document serves as a comprehensive guide to skeletal anatomy, physiology and common skeletal pathologies and their imaging appearance.
Neglected fracture neck of femur in young adultsZahid Iqbal
A 35-year-old woman presented with left hip pain and limited movement 3 months after falling down stairs during pregnancy and sustaining a left femoral neck fracture. X-rays showed the fracture had not healed. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a fibular strut graft and dynamic hip screw to repair the neglected fracture. Post-operatively, her hip movements improved and she was discharged on antibiotics with weight-bearing restrictions for 6 weeks.
This document describes various radiographic views used to image the hip for abnormalities like dysplasia. It discusses AP, Judet, frogleg lateral, pelvic outlet, pelvic inlet, and groin lateral views. It also summarizes hip dysplasia, describing how misalignment of the femoral head and acetabulum can lead to cartilage wear, pain, and osteoarthritis. Symptoms may include discomfort with movement and leg length discrepancies. X-rays and MRI are used for assessment.
A supracondylar fracture occurs just above the elbow joint and is one of the most common fractures in children. It can cause complications like compartment syndrome if the brachial artery is damaged. A Colles' fracture is a break of the radius bone in the forearm near the wrist, causing the "dinner fork" deformity. Fractures of the femoral neck mainly occur in older people with osteoporosis and are classified by the Garden system. Compartment syndrome results from increased pressure in an enclosed muscle space, causing pain, numbness and possible tissue death.
1. The document discusses various types of osteotomies performed around the hip joint to correct deformities and improve biomechanics. It describes pelvic osteotomies like Pemberton, Salter, and Ganz osteotomies which reorient the acetabulum.
2. Femoral osteotomies discussed include varus, valgus, and rotational osteotomies. Varus osteotomies elevate the greater trochanter medially to improve joint congruity. Valgus, or abduction osteotomies, tilt the distal fragment away from the midline to increase femoral neck angle.
3. The principles, indications, techniques and outcomes of
This document discusses musculoskeletal radiology and provides a systematic approach to interpreting plain radiographs of the musculoskeletal system. It aims to describe how to localize disease processes in bones, cartilage, synovium and soft tissues on radiographs. Specific objectives covered include recognizing radiographic features of common fractures, bone diseases, and arthropathies like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. A systematic approach is outlined to assess alignment, bones, cartilage and soft tissues on radiographs. Common fractures of the tibia, Colles' fracture and scaphoid fracture are also described.
This document discusses pelvic osteotomies for the treatment of acetabular dysplasia. It covers why pelvic osteotomies are performed, which is to reorient or reshape the acetabulum to provide normal coverage of the femoral head and prevent degenerative arthritis. The document discusses the types of pelvic osteotomies available and how to determine which procedure is most appropriate. It also reviews the radiological assessment tools used to evaluate acetabular dysplasia and planning for pelvic osteotomies.
This document discusses the causes and treatment of intoeing gait in children. It identifies the main causes as excessive femoral anteversion, internal tibial torsion, and metatarsus adductus. Each condition is described in terms of its definition, clinical presentation, evaluation, and typical treatment approach. For all three conditions, the document emphasizes that no treatment is usually needed as the conditions often resolve spontaneously by ages 6 to 8 as the child's gait develops. Surgical intervention is rarely required.
This document provides an overview of classical shoulder arthroplasty versus reverse shoulder arthroplasty. It discusses the history, anatomy, biomechanics, prosthesis designs, surgical approaches, complications, and outcomes of both procedures. Key points include that total shoulder arthroplasty generally provides better outcomes than hemiarthroplasty, especially long-term. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is primarily used for nonfunctional rotator cuff tears, while classical arthroplasty requires an intact rotator cuff. Complications can occur years after surgery and include loosening, infection, and fractures.
The document discusses femoral neck fractures, including:
- Anatomy of the hip joint and blood supply of the femoral neck
- Mechanisms of injury including low-energy falls in the elderly
- Classification systems including Garden and Pauwel classifications
- Clinical features such as pain on hip motion and inability to perform straight leg raises
- Diagnosis using x-rays and other imaging modalities like CT and MRI
- Treatment goals of minimizing discomfort, restoring function, and obtaining early anatomic reduction and stable fixation
Management of Posterior Glenohumeral Instability with Large Humeral Head DefectPeter Millett MD
Traumatic posterior instability may occasionally cause a large osteochondral lesion when the anterior humeral head is compressed against the posterior glenoid rim. This is termed a reverse Hill–Sachs lesion. Such osteochondral defects may be very large in the case of chronic locked dislocations. Even in acute posterior disclocations, closed reduction may be difficult when the humeral head is locked posteriorly over the glenoid. In such cases closed or open reduction under general anesthesia with muscle relaxation may be necessary. In cases where the anterior humeral head defect is large, reconstruction may be necessary to maintain stability. Management must be tailored to the individual patient and depends on several factors, which include the size of the defect, the duration of the dislocation, the quality of the bone, the status of the articular cartilage, and the patient’s overall health.

This document summarizes current concepts regarding femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). It discusses how both arthroscopic and open surgery for FAI can effectively relieve hip pain and correct the underlying bone deformity. It notes that 75-90% of athletes can return to their pre-injury level of sports after surgery. The document outlines how cam-type lesions (loss of femoral head-neck offset) and pincer-type lesions (acetabular overcoverage) can each cause FAI through repetitive impact. Early intervention prior to cartilage damage is important for surgical success. A thorough preoperative evaluation of the anatomy is critical to properly plan treatment.
Lateral condyle of humerus fracture in childrenAnilKC5
This document discusses lateral condyle fractures of the distal humerus in children. It notes that these fractures have a higher risk of malunion, nonunion, and avascular necrosis than other elbow fractures in children. Treatment depends on the degree of articular displacement, and may involve closed reduction with percutaneous pinning or open reduction and internal fixation. Complications can include elbow stiffness, cubital deformities, growth disturbances, osteonecrosis, and mal/non-union. Proper imaging including stress views are important to evaluate displacement and stability to guide treatment.
1. Femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) occurs when the femoral head and neck abut the acetabular rim, causing labral and cartilage damage. It is a common cause of hip pain in young, active individuals.
2. There are two main types of FAI - cam impingement, caused by an aspherical femoral head-neck junction, and pincer impingement, caused by overcoverage of the acetabulum. Mixed impingements also occur.
3. Symptoms include insidious groin pain made worse by flexion and internal rotation movements. Physical exam may reveal reduced hip range of motion and weakness. Diagnosis involves clinical exam and imaging studies to
Supra condylar humerus fracture in childrenSubodh Pathak
Upper-extremity fractures account for 65-75% of all fractures in children, with 7-9% involving the elbow. Supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus are the most common elbow injuries in children, typically occurring between ages 5-10 years old. These fractures are classified into Types 1-3 based on displacement. Type 1 fractures are non-displaced, Type 2 have angulation/displacement with an intact posterior cortex, and Type 3 have complete displacement of fragments. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning is the most common treatment, with pins placed medially and laterally for stability. Open reduction is rarely needed but may be indicated for inadequate closed reduction or vascular injury.
The document discusses flat back syndrome and its surgical treatment. Flat back syndrome occurs when there is a reduction in normal lumbar lordosis, resulting in a fixed sagittal imbalance and flat back deformity. Surgical treatment aims to restore sagittal and coronal balance through procedures like Smith-Petersen osteotomies, which involve cutting V-shaped wedges in the spine to allow correction. The risks and techniques of multiple osteotomies are discussed to harmoniously realign the deformed spine while minimizing complications.
This document discusses posterior shoulder instability. It begins by describing the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder. Posterior instability is less common than anterior instability and can be caused by trauma or repetitive microtrauma. Clinical examination is important for diagnosis and may reveal posterior shoulder pain with flexion and internal rotation. Imaging such as x-rays, CT, and MRI can identify bony lesions. Surgical treatment options depend on the specific soft tissue or bony injuries identified and may include arthroscopic or open stabilization procedures like posterior capsulolabral repair. Rehabilitation is important after surgery.
This document summarizes flexible flatfoot, including its definition, symptoms, diagnosis, natural history, and treatment options. Flexible flatfoot is one of the most common foot deformities seen in children. The foot appears pronated and flattened during weight bearing but the arch reconstitutes when not bearing weight. Conservative treatment includes exercises, orthotics, and supportive shoes. For severe, symptomatic cases not improving with conservative care, surgical options like heel cord lengthening, lateral column lengthening, and talonavicular imbrication can provide pain relief and arch correction while preserving joint motion.

The document discusses injuries of the hip joint, including:
1) The anatomy of the hip joint, which is a ball and socket joint formed by the femoral head and acetabulum.
2) Types of hip dislocations, which are most commonly posterior and can occur due to high-energy trauma such as motor vehicle accidents.
3) Treatment of hip dislocations focuses on rapid reduction to restore blood flow and reduce the risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
Lateral condyle fracture of humerus in childrenAiman Ali
This document discusses lateral condyle fractures of the humerus. It begins by describing the anatomy of the lateral condyle. It then discusses the epidemiology, mechanisms, classification systems, clinical presentation, imaging, and treatment options for lateral condyle fractures. Treatment depends on the degree of displacement and stability, and may involve non-operative treatment with casting or operative treatment with closed or open reduction and internal fixation. Complications can include malunion, nonunion, deformity, and growth disturbances if not treated properly.
1. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a slippage of the femoral head through the growth plate that commonly occurs in obese adolescent males.
2. Traumatic hip dislocation can occur from direct trauma and results in the femoral head being displaced from the acetabulum, causing pain and inability to walk. Posterior dislocations are most common.
3. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease involving cartilage breakdown and new bone formation. It commonly affects the hip in older adults and results in pain and stiffness that can be relieved by medications or treated with hip replacement surgery.
This document summarizes three pediatric knee conditions:
1) Congenital dislocation of the knee joint, which presents at birth with hyperextension and can be treated non-operatively with casting or operatively with soft tissue releases.
2) Congenital dislocation of the patella, which is a lateral dislocation present at birth that can be treated with the Andrish surgical technique involving extensive soft tissue releases.
3) Bipartate patella, a normal variant where the patella fails to fuse during development, which is usually asymptomatic but can become painful and be treated initially with rest and physical therapy or later with fragment excision.
This document summarizes research on the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with manual therapy. It discusses the anatomy and causes of FAI, as well as diagnosis using imaging and clinical exams. While evidence directly comparing manual therapy to exercise for FAI is limited, manual therapy techniques used successfully for hip osteoarthritis may also benefit FAI by increasing range of motion and reducing pain. Case reports show positive outcomes with manual therapy including traction, mobilization, and soft tissue techniques for FAI patients. More research is still needed on rehabilitation approaches for FAI.
This document discusses the anatomy, classification, causes, investigation, and treatment of non-union of femoral neck fractures. It begins with an introduction describing the anatomy of the femoral neck blood supply. It then describes Sandhu's classification system for neglected femoral neck fractures into 3 stages based on radiological findings. Common causes of non-union are discussed. Investigation methods like x-rays, CT, MRI, and bone scans are outlined. Treatment options aim to either preserve the femoral head through procedures like valgus osteotomy and bone grafting, or sacrifice the head through arthroplasty. Head preserving procedures like valgus osteotomy, muscle pedicle bone grafting, and cortical/cancellous grafting are detailed.

by measurements of offset-ratio, alpha and beta angles on
radiographs17,18
or MRI.19
As the aspherical, expanded portion of the femoral head-neck
complex encroaches on the acetabular rim, the labrum displaces
outwards resulting in increased tensile stress at the labrochon-
dral junction resulting in labral type-1 tear separation from the
adjacent articular cartilage at the watershed.20
As the aspherical
portion rotates further within the acetabular rim, compressive
forces and shear stress at the osteochondral junction increase,
resulting in delamination of the chondral surface from the under-
lying bone and producing the so called 'wave sign' visible at
arthroscopy. Fissure fractures created by traction forces at the
labrochondral junction expose the edge of the chondral surface
to the advancing 'front' of the femoral cam lesion, and result in
the creation of chondral flap tears or 'carpet lesions' (Fig. 2). This
hypothesis is supported by McCarthy et al,21
who confirmed that
73% of hips with labral tears had adjacent acetabular chondral
damage. Johnston et al15
confirmed that cam impingers with high
alpha angles were associated with labral injury, chondral damage
and decreased range of movement.
Pincer Impingement
The femoral neck of a hip with adequate head-neck offset can
impinge on the rim of the acetabulum at the extremes of its
range of movement. However, if the shape or orientation of the
acetabular rim results in impingement before the hip has
achieved its required functional range of movement, impact
damage to the labrum will occur.
Radiographic features suggesting a susceptibility to pincer
impingement include a deep socket (coxa profunda or protrusio),
high centre-edge angle, low sourcil angle and signs of global or seg-
mental retroversion or anteversion of the acetabular rim (Fig. 3).
Dynamic pincer impingement can occur in 'normal' hips if the
required range of movement is large (e.g. dancers and gym-
nasts) or translated (e.g. hockey players22
).
Labral impact damage frequently manifests signs of a thick-
ened, patulous labrum with 'blunting' of the labral edge and
cystic change. Alternatively, the labrum may be almost non-exist-
ent as a result of intra-substance calcification,14
which com-
pounds the problem of a reduced range of movement. Pincer
impingement is associated with a lower incidence of anterior
acetabular chondral damage than cam impingement, although it
still occurs as a 'contrecoup' degeneration on the posterior
aspect of the femoral head and acetabulum (Fig. 4).23
While isolated cam and pincer impingement can occur, the
majority of hips present with a mixed pattern.
Presenting Symptoms
FAI commonly presents in younger adults as a deep intermittent
groin discomfort during or after activity.24

3. 3
The cam variety of impingement presents with intermittent
discomfort in the groin during or after repetitive or persistent hip
flexion. Sprinting or kicking sports, ascending hills or stairs, pro-
longed sitting in low chairs, driving or getting in and out of low
vehicles are common exacerbating activities. Pain may be
referred to the anterior thigh, to the region of the symphysis
pubis and to the ipsilateral testicle in men.
Anterior pincer impingement presents with similar symptoms as
cam impingement. However, symptoms of posterior impingement
may be experienced in the buttock or sacro-iliac region. These
symptoms are more common in women, occur when the hip is
repeatedly hyperextended as in fast walking or walking downhill
and are often difficult to differentiate from pain referred from the
low back and sacro-iliac joint. Women with posterior impingement
frequently complain of posterior hip pain during intercourse.
Mechanical symptoms of catching, clicking and a feeling of
giving way are commonly associated with labral tears secondary
to hip impingement.
Examination
The hip is examined in a methodical manner, which should
include an assessment of rotational abnormalities in the
femur. Hip flexion, adduction and internal rotation most com-
monly replicate the pain experienced during anterior hip
impingement.25,26
In flexion, the hip is progressively rotated from external to
internal rotation while moving from abduction to adduction.
Using this technique, it is possible to identify the most likely posi-
tion of impingement and the most likely area of acetabular rim
injury. A similar examination of the hip in hyperextension may
help with the diagnosis of posterior impingement.
Investigations
Radiology. A systematic approach to the plain radiographic evalu-
ation of these patients is essential. An anteroposterior (AP) pelvis
film should be supported by a cross-table lateral or Dunn view.18
Key acetabular features on the AP film include the presence of
a deep or shallow socket (dysplasia, coxa profunda, protrusio) and
an assessment of acetabular version (anteverted, retroverted,
focal or global). Pattern recognition of subtle abnormalities takes
a long time to develop and is fallible; modern Picture Archiving and
Communications System (PACS) facilities allow accurate meas-
urement of centre-edge and sourcil angles as a minimum. Key
femoral measurements include head sphericity, neck-shaft angle,
alpha angle and offset ratio. The Academic Network for Hip Out-
comes Research (ANCHOR) study group27
has published an excel-
lent systematic guide to evaluating plain images.
MRI. To identify the most subtle cam imperfections in proximal
femoral anatomy, an MRI arthrogram with intra-articular contrast is
required. This investigation should include radial sequence scans
(Fig. 5) to allow a tangential view perpendicular to the acetabular
rim and a detailed analysis of the proximal femoral morph-
ology.28,29
Rakhra et al30
showed that the maximum alpha angles
obtained on radial scanning were abnormal in 54% of patients with
apparently normal alpha angles on conventional oblique axial
scanning. We also recommend acquiring cuts through the distal
femur to assess abnormalities of femoral torsion.

THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY
CT. The use of 3D reconstruction of CT scans has proved useful in
the recognition of subtle femoral deformities (Fig. 6) and in pre-
operative planning during the management of complex deformi-
ties.17
It is particularly helpful in achieving appropriate orienta-
tion of the hip during arthroscopic femoral osteochondroplasty.
Management of FAI
Femoroacetabular impingement is a mechanical problem that
requires a mechanical solution. A common presenting feature is
failure to respond to analgesia and physiotherapy; stretching
exercises and yoga may aggravate the condition. Reduction in
the symptoms associated with pincer impingement might be
amenable to sports therapy that focuses on modifying the
dynamic hip flexion element of pincer impingement by maintain-
ing core stability and a more upright stance during activity (e.g.
skiing moguls or deep powder).
Surgical correction of the deformity remains the mainstay of
management, and has been shown to be effective in the short
term. Beaulé, Le Duff and Zaragoza31
showed that quality of life
scores such as the Short Form (SF)-12 score or Western Ontario
McMasters Universities (WOMAC) index increase after FAI surgery.
FAI comprises a broad spectrum of disorders that require a wide
range of surgical options. With increased understanding of the con-
dition, and cross-fertilisation of surgical principles, it is clear that
both hip arthroscopy and open surgery have a valuable role to play.
Surgical dislocation of the hip using the Ganz trochanteric flip
approach is based on a thorough understanding of the vascular
anatomy of the femoral head32-34
and allows unparalleled access
to the femoral head and acetabulum. A full description of the
technique has been summarised by Norton, Fern and Williams.35
The technique facilitates the key elements of basic FAI surgery,
namely femoral osteochondroplasty, labral repair or resection or
replacement, reshaping of the acetabular rim and acetabular
chondral debridement. With adequate experience, the versatility
of the technique allows extremely complex hip reconstruction
(Fig. 7) to be performed safely and predictably.36,37
Clohisy and McClure38
reported good to excellent results in
24/25 patients at 1.5 years after an anterior exposure of the hip
through a limited Smith-Petersen approach (Fig. 8) combined
with hip arthroscopy, despite the restricted exposure compared
with formal hip dislocation.
Although favourable long-term results can be achieved with
simple arthroscopic labral resection,39 the early acceptance of
the principles of FAI has resulted in considerable advances in
both the techniques and equipment associated with arthro-
scopic hip surgery.
Fig. 7
The Ganz approach (top left) facilitates safe access to the hip and allows correction of the severe deformity which may be seen in slipped upper femoral epiphysis (top
row) and Perthes' disease (bottom row)
5. 5
Labral refixation provides better results than simple excision,40
and correction of the underlying structural deformity produces a
better result than dealing with the labrum in isolation.41,42
These
results mirror those achieved by open surgery.33
Philippon et al24
reviewed the arthroscopic treatment of FAI and concluded that
ther technique had particular relevance to high-demand patients,
particularly athletes seeking a return to high-level sport.
It is apparent that the key elements of surgery for FAI which
have been developed through open surgery are achievable by
skilled hip arthroscopists. Avoiding the need for trochanteric
osteotomies and prolonged periods of limited post-operative
weight-bearing has obvious advantages.
Zebala, Schoenecker and Clohisy43
summarised that FAI was
a diverse disease with evolving treatment options; the under-
standing of the genetic elements of FAI44
might allow selective
screening and earlier diagnosis of the condition. Long-term out-
come studies showing a beneficial effect of peri-acetabular oste-
otomy after 20 years support the use of biological solutions.45
Although FAI surgery is effective in the short term, evidence is
still required that early intervention prevents or delays the devel-
opment of arthritis in the long term.
Surgically induced acetabular dysplasia as a result of inappropri-
ate acetabular rim trimming has been linked with a poor outcome
after FAI surgery,46
and has prompted a change in management,
emphasising femoral correction and minimal removal of the
acetabular rim and/or labral calcification in our centre.
Publication of definitive reference ranges for femoral cam
lesions43
and acetabular rim morphology in the near future
should allow surgeons to become more accurate with patient
selection in the future.
