Abstract:
Femoroacetabular impingement is an abnormal conflict of the acetabular rim and the femoral head-neck junction. This condition causes labral and cartilage damage and leads to early osteoarthritis of the hip. Femoral osteoplasty is performed to restore normal femoral head-neck offset while the amount of bony resection is monitored by periodic examination. Dynamic examination of the area of impingement, which cannot be performed in open treatment of cam impingement, confirms adequate resection and labral seal through hip range of motion.

Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed to...
