OBJECTIVE: To outline the clinical presentation, physical examination findings,
diagnostic criteria, and management options of femoroacetabular impingement
(FAI). SOURCES OF INFORMATION: PubMed was searched for relevant articles
regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of FAI. MAIN
MESSAGE: In recent years, FAI has been increasingly recognized as a potential
precursor and an important contributor to hip pain in the adult population and
idiopathic hip osteoarthritis later in life. Femoroacetabular impingement is a
collection of bony morphologic abnormalities of the hip joint that result in
abnormal contact during motion. Cam-type FAI relates to a non-spherical osseous
prominence of the proximal femoral neck or head-neck junction. Pincer-type FAI
relates to excessive acetabular coverage over the femoral head, which can occur
owing to several morphologic variants. Patients with FAI present with chronic,
deep, or aching anterior groin pain most commonly in the sitting position, or
during or after activity. Patients might also experience occasional sharp pains
during activity. A thorough history should be taken that includes incidence of
trauma and exercise frequency. A physical examination should be performed that
includes a full hip, low back, and abdominal examination to assess for alternate
causes of anterior groin pain. Diagnosis of FAI should be confirmed with
radiography. Femoroacetabular impingement can be managed conservatively with
rest, modification of activities, medications, and physiotherapy, or it can be
treated surgically. CONCLUSION: Femoroacetabular impingement is an important
cause of anterior groin pain. Early recognition and intervention by the primary
care provider might be critical to alleviating morbidity and preventing FAI
progression.
