  • First Online:
Diagnosis and Management of Femoroacetabular Impingement

Abstract

Since the introduction of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) [1–3] and new diagnostic tools, such as intra-articular injections and more advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [4–6], a number of previously unexplained causes of hip pain have been revealed.

A description of other conditions that may present like or with FAI
