Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is an emerging cause of hip pain.
  • FAI can lead to acetabular cartilage and labral damage, and degenerative changes.
  • Abnormal hip joint morphology, including the acetabulum and proximal femur, is a key predisposing factor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the imaging findings associated with cam and pincer types of FAI.
  • To discuss current treatment strategies for cam and pincer FAI.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of imaging modalities for FAI.
  • Synthesis of treatment approaches for different FAI types.

Main Results:

  • Imaging reveals characteristic morphological abnormalities in cam and pincer FAI.
  • Treatment strategies vary based on FAI type and severity.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding FAI imaging is crucial for diagnosis.
  • Appropriate treatment can manage hip pain and joint damage associated with FAI.
