Beyond the Basics of Athletic Hip Evaluation.

Abstract: There is a growing trend in the world of orthopedics and sports medicine revolving around the nonarthritic hip. The incidence of hip arthroscopy has exponentially grown in the past decade and despite the importance of the recognition of these hip pathologies as contributors to pain and dysfunction, there is an ever-increasing rate of "failed" procedures emerging in the literature. The etiology of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome and associated pathologies of the hip are now better understood.
