Arthroscopic Management of Femoroacetabular Impingement
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition in which there is incongruity in the hip joint. This incongruity can originate from the femoral side (a cam lesion), the acetabular side (a pincer lesion), or both. Labral or cartilage tears or both can result, leading to pain. Patients typically report groin pain, but pain lateral and posterior to the hip can also occur. Pain occurs primarily with activity, such as walking, running, or sports. Patients may also have difficulty sitting for long periods of time and putting on socks and shoes. Some patients may experience a clicking or catching sensation in the hip joint.
