F.A.I. Femuru acetabular impimgment
Coxa Profunda • Coxa profunda – floor of fossa acetabuli overlaps ilioischial line medially • Pincer type FAI • Creates deep acetabulu • Normal
Protrusio acetabuli • Protrusio acetabuli – occurs when the femoral head overlaps the ilioischial line medially • Pincer type FAI • Creates deep acetabulum • Normal
Center Edge angle • Lateral center edge angle – pincer type FAI • Normal is between 25 and 39 degrees • Increases with deeper acetabulum and more overcoverage Protrusio acetabuli
Anterior Center Edge Angle Lequesne (abnormal < 25 degrees) .
Decreased extrusion index • Decreased extrusion index – pincer type FAI • (E / [A + E]) • 25 % in normal subjects • Decreases as femoral head becomes “more covered.”
Crossover Sign. • The crossover sign is a sensitive and specific indicator of native acetabular version. On an AP pelvis radiograph, the outlines of the edges of the anterior and posterior walls of the acetabulum should meet superiorly and laterally. In cases of acetabular retroversion, this crossover of the anterior and posterior acetabular wall outlines is more distal. Changes in the acetabular rim may also be noted.
Acetabular Retroversion • Acetabular retroversion – pincer type FAI • Cross over sign • Focal acetabular overcoverage • Cranial anterior wall line projects laterally • Anterior/anterolateral labrum is obstacle to flexion and internal rotation • Distinguish from deficient posterior wall
Acetabular index • Acetabular index – pincer type FAI • Should be positive • Becomes negative as acetabulum “deepens” Positive AI Negative AI in protrusio acetabuli
Alpha angle • Alpha angle – Cam type FAI • Used as an objective representation of the prominence of the anterior femoral head-neck junction. • Abnormal is greater than 50 degrees Normal Abnormal
Femoral head-neck offset • Femoral head-neck offset (OS) – Cam type FAI • Abnormal if less than 10 mm
Pistol grip deformity • Pistol grip deformity - Cam type FAI • Loss of normal concavity • Etiology • Growth abnormality of the capital femoral epiphysis • SCFE • LCPD • Fracture healing
Posterior wall sign • Posterior wall sign – pincer type FAI • PW line should descend through center of femoral head • Medial – deficient • Lateral – prominent
Linear indentation sign • Linear indentation sign – pincer type FAI • Occurs due to mechanical injury and reactive change
Femoroacetabular Impingement • Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) • Acetabular rim syndrome • Cervicoacetabular impingement • Young patients with chronic pain • Reduced ROM in flexion and internal rotation • Repetitive microtrauma • Increased incidence of premature degenerative arthritis • Etiology • Abnormal acetabulum • Abnormal femur • Increased stress • Two types • Pincer (acetabular) • Cam (femoral) • Mixed – 86 %
Pincer type FAI • Pincer type of FAI • Middle to older aged women (40) • Seen in ballet dancers • Close approximation of acetabular rim and femoral neck – acetabular abnormality • Acetabular overcoverage • Focal articular damage • Acetabular damage can propagate • Primary radiographic signs • Coxa profunda • Protrusio acetabuli • Acetabular retroversion • Decreased extrusion index • Neutral acetabular index • Posterior wall sign • Posterior inferior cartilage abrasion due to contracoup injury Normal Pincer
Cam type FAI • Cam type of FAI • Young males (32 years) • Primary femoral abnormality • Aspherical femoral head • Femoral head jams into acetabular rim • Shear forces on labrum and cartilage • Diffuse articular damage • Primary radiographic signs • Pistol grip deformity • CCD angle less than 125 degrees • Horizontal growth plate sign • Alpha angle greater than 50 degrees • Femoral head-neck offset less than 8 mm • Femoral retrotorsion
Secondary radiographic signs • Secondary radiographic signs • Labral ossification • Synovial herniation pits • Premature degenerative changes
Secondary MR signs • Classic MR findings in pincer FAI • Posteroinferior cartilage abnormality due to contracoup injury
Secondary MR signs • Secondary MR findings in cam type FAI • Superolateral changes
