Anterior Femoroacetabular Impingement: Part II. Midterm Results of Surgical Treatment (2004, background): “Femoroacetabular impingement is a distinct pathologic entity that results from an abnormal morphologic relationship between the proximal femur and the acetabulum.(8,13,26) A decreased offset at the anterolateral head-neck junction leads to a reduction in joint clearance potentiating abnormal repetit”
Femoroacetabular impingement: a cause for osteoarthritis of the hip. (2003, background): “Based on our clinical experience spanning more than a decade, we have evidence that in many cases of idiopathic arthritis, predisposing factors, in the form of femoroacetabular impingement, are present that are not appreciated readily using the traditional diagnostic modalities.(3,7,12,21)”
Anterior Femoro-Acetabular Impingement Due to Acetabular Retroversion: Treatment with Periacetabular Osteotomy (2003, neutral): “External rotation 33 (20-70) 35 (20-70) 2 NS”
Femoroacetabular impingement: radiographic diagnosis--what the radiologist should know. (2007, background): “Cam impingement is the femoral cause of femoroacetabular impingement and is caused by an aspherical shape of the femoral head where the nonspherical portion is jammed into the acetabulum as a result of several known causes or idiopathically [6, 36, 37] (Fig.”
