Abstract
Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome, or hip impingement, is a musculoskeletal condition affecting the hip joint. It involves motion- or position-related pain originating from an abnormal, premature contact between the femoral head-neck junction (femur) and the acetabular rim (rim around the hip socket). Cumulative and repetitive mechanical overloads at the hip joint appear to contribute to the development of FAI. However, occupational exposures to such loads in potential high-risk occupational groups (e.g., military personnel and athletes) and the relationships between these exposures and the development of FAI remain unclear.
