Diagnosis and Management of Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Jason W. Folk, MD Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas February 2012
Disclosures Consultant Smith & Nephew Endoscopy
Femoroacetabular ImpingementOutline • Background • Pincer and Cam lesions • Physical Exam findings • Imaging • Open vs Arthroscopic tx
Femoroacetabular Impingement • Abnormal dynamic contact between proximal femur and acetabulum that results in damage to femoral neck, acetabular rim, hip labrum, and articular cartilage.
…in certain aberrant morphologic features of the hip, abnormal contact between the proximal femur and the acetabular rim that occurs during terminal motion of the hip, leads to lesions of the acetabular labrum and/or the adjacent acetabular cartilage.
Femoroacetabular Impingement • Why do we talk about the labrum so much? • The first recognized pathologic consequence to deformity • Multiple biomechanical functions • Injury to labrum now recognized as a marker of significant underlying pathology
Labral Function • Seals pressurized fluid layer within joint • Lubricates, prevents direct cartilage contact • Slows rate of fluid expression from porous cartilage layers • Limits cartilage deformation and stress
Labral Function • Provides mechanical stability • Substantial extension of acetabular rim • Contributes to load transmission
Adult Hip Osteoarthritis • Up to 90% of Young patients that develop DJD of the Hip Have an underlying structural Problem Ganz et al, CORR 2008
Adult Hip Osteoarthritis • Theory was Postulated over 40 years ago • Murray 1965 • Solomon et al 1973 • Harris 1983 • Mechanism was Missing • Ganz, Leunig et al. 1996

Prevalence of FAI 10-15%Anterior hip pain (C-sign)Pain: Protracted sitting With ambulation & catching arising from seatDifficulty: In and out of car Don/doff shoes and socks Hip Pain: Patient Assessment
Clinical tests Posterior Impingement Anterior impingement Leunig M et al. Operat Tech Orthop, 15:247, 2005.
Clinical tests The impingement test is performed with the hip in 90° of flexion with additional internal rotation and adduction of the femur.
Two Types: Pincer and Cam Classification
Impingement caused by retroversion of the acetabulum Primarily labral pathology Secondarily develop articular breakdown M:F 1:3 Avg age 40 (40-57) Pincer Type
Anterior Wall Posterior Wall 1/2 1/3 Imaging: Physiologic Anteversion
Cross over sign Imaging: Acetabular Retroversion
Retroverted Acetabulum/ Crossover Sign
Retroversion CT – axial cuts normal anteversion retroverted Reynolds D J Bone Joint Surg 81-B: 281-288; 1999.
Impingement from bony prominence of anterolateral femoral head/neck junction Selective articular delamination (relative labral preservation) M:F 14:1 Avg age 32 (21-51) Cam type
