Published: May 2013

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) of the hip is a well-recognized entity that can cause hip pain and limit range of motion. Although there are 2 types of FAI (cam and pincer), these 2 entities most commonly coexist. Plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging are commonly used to assess FAI, and play an integral role in diagnosis in conjunction with patient symptoms and clinical examination. Treatment of FAI is also evolving, with arthroscopic management becoming increasingly more popular. This review provides an overview of the proposed etiology, mechanisms, clinical history, imaging, and treatment of FAI.

Purpose: To assess whether capsular closure during hip arthroscopy with periportal capsulotomy affects 2-year postoperative outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) patients without hypermobility.

Methods: A matched-cohort retrospective analysis of a single institutional database of patients who underwent hip arthroscopy with periportal capsulotomy for management of FAIS between 2014-2022 was performed. Study inclusion criteria consisted of FAIS patients who exhibited no signs of generalized ligamentous laxity (GLL) (Beighton score 0).

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition caused by abnormal contact between the femur head and the acetabulum, which damages the labrum and articular cartilage. While the prevalence and the type of impingement may vary across human groups, the variability among populations with short height or with a high prevalence of overweight has not yet been explored. Latin American studies have rarely been conducted in reference to this condition, including the Mayan and mestizo populations from the Yucatan Peninsula.

Editorial Commentary: Treating the Underlying Bony Pathology of the Hip Addresses the Para-Labral Cyst.

Arthroscopy

December 2024

NYU Langone Health, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Division of Sports Medicine, West Palm Beach, FL. Electronic address:

Para-labral cysts in the acetabulum often occur in the setting of labral tears. While labral tears are commonly identified in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, developmental dysplasia of the hip is also a cause of chondrolabral pathology. Our understanding of para-labral cysts has encouraged addressing the concomitant labral pathology, as this has been shown to result in cyst resolution.

The ligamentum teres and its role in hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement: a systematic review.

J Orthop Traumatol

December 2024

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, University La Sapienza, 00185, Rome, Italy.

Background: The ligamentum teres (LT) has received attention in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Indeed, a better understanding of the function of the LT and its implications for clinical outcomes in the presence of a torn LT is required. This systematic review analyses the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the complication rate when an intact or torn LT is encountered during HA for FAI.
