Femoroacetabular Impingement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Pediatric and Adolescent Hip

Abstract

Femoroacetabular impingement is a cause of hip pain and restricted range of motion secondary to pathologic mechanical contact between the proximal femur and acetabulum. The sources of impingement are variable and include both femoral sources (cam deformity) and acetabular sources (pincer deformity). The diagnosis is made on the basis of patient’s clinical history, physical exam, and a constellation of imaging findings. Non-operative treatment focuses on reducing pain and avoiding provocative activities. Surgical intervention requires an understanding of the variety of anatomic sources of impingement and will guide the surgeon towards an open surgical dislocation or arthroscopic approach.
