Case 134 Asset 1 Femoroacetabular Impingement

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video reviews femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a mechanical cause of hip pain from abnormal contact between the femoral head-neck junction and acetabulum. It explains CAM morphology, including femoral head asphericity, pistol-grip deformity, alpha angle >60°, and offset <8 mm, and pincer morphology, including acetabular retroversion, protrusion, and overcoverage. Three cases are shown: mixed CAM/pincer deformity with bilateral findings; bilateral CAM deformities with a left superior anterior labral tear on MRI; and bilateral pincer deformity with left labral degenerative tearing.
