Abstract

Objectives:

The prevalence of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) was evaluated using a Japanese population-based cohort of participants aged ≥50 years.

Methods:

Radiographs (n = 854) of bilateral hips of 427 participants (279 women, 148 men) were used for the analysis. The prevalence of cam type, pincer type, and mixed type FAI as well as osteoarthritis was evaluated. The association of FAI and osteoarthritis (OA), and pain were also evaluated.

Results:

The prevalence of cam type and pincer type FAI were 4.2% and 20.3%, respectively. Mixed type FAI was 0.7%. OA was found in 4.0% of patients, and 17 hips (2.0%) with any FAI also had OA. A significant relationship between cam type FAI and OA was found, whereas no significant relationship between pincer type FAI and OA was seen. Sixty (7.0%) of all the hips were reported to be painful, and 14 of those painful hips (1.6%) had FAI. No significant relationship between FAI and hip pain was found.

Conclusion:

We reported the first population-based prevalence of FAI in Japan. Radiological FAI was common, and pincer type was more common than cam type. The anatomical abnormalities associated with FAI, although often asymptomatic, are risk factors for OA.

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Prevalence and Incidence

Prevalence and Incidence

In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...
