Abstract
Natural Course of Early Radiological Signs of Femoroacetabular Impingement in An Asymptomatic Population
Highlights
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is reported as a common cause of hip pain in young adults [1]
The role of early-detected radiological factors predisposing towards femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) remains unclear in asymptomatic patients and in the development time of FAI as a distinct clinical entity
We investigated the prevalence of bony abnormalities predisposing to FAI, according to the measurement parameters established in current literature, and we evaluated the evolution of these FAI radiological risk factors and the associated appearance of clinical symptoms in young adults that have never referred any symptoms before
Summary
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is reported as a common cause of hip pain in young adults [1] It acts as a precursor for early degenerative changes [2] and it is considered a major etiological factor in the development of osteoarthritis of the hip (OA) [3,4,5]. The first one was related to changes of the acetabular rim with an overhanging of the anterolateral component that primarily produces a breakdown of the acetabular labrum and articular damage This type was named Pincer impingement, resulting to be more common in active middleaged women [1,3,9,10,11].
