您的感受¶
髋关节撞击综合征的疼痛通常始于腹股沟区域,且往往缓慢蔓延,而非在一次明确的受伤后突然出现。有时,疼痛始于轻微的撞击或扭转之后。它往往在活动时加剧,任何将髋关节向上弯曲靠近胸部的动作都会使其恶化。长时间久坐是一个常见的诱因,因此乘车、长时间在办公桌前开会或看电影后可能会感到酸痛。运动也可能引发疼痛,尤其是跑步或涉及快速变向的运动。
日常动作可能会变得笨拙。穿袜子和鞋子时可能会感到疼痛。从低矮的椅子上起身、爬楼梯或转身向后伸手可能会感到不适。有些人会感到髋关节深处有卡顿感或弹响,这发生在关节面或盂唇(髋臼周围的一圈软骨)受到刺激时。疼痛可能会向髋关节外侧、大腿内侧扩散,偶尔还会向下延伸至膝盖。
许多人最初注意到的是僵硬而非疼痛。您可能会发现髋关节内旋困难,或者感觉一侧髋关节的活动度不如另一侧自由。可能会出现轻微的跛行,通常非常细微,以至于他人在您之前就会注意到。症状在活动后或静止坐一会儿后可能会加重。
值得注意的是,这种病症最初常被漏诊,腹股沟疼痛有时会被归咎于其他原因。如果您是一名活跃的青少年或年轻人,且髋部或腹股沟疼痛持续不缓解,对髋关节进行评估是合理的。您的外科医生会查看整体情况:您的症状、检查时髋关节的活动情况以及影像学扫描,因为没有任何单一发现能单独确诊撞击综合征。
实际发生了什么¶
您的髋关节是一个球窝关节。球体是股骨的上端,窝体是骨盆上的一个杯状结构。在窝体的边缘处是盂唇,它是一圈软骨,起到密封垫的作用,封闭关节并保持关节液在内部。
撞击是指球体与窝体边缘在正常运动过程中相互挤压。这是由于骨骼形状发生了微小变化所致。通常没有剧烈的异常,只是在球体与股骨颈交汇处有一个小凸起,或者窝体覆盖球体的范围比正常略大。当您屈髋将大腿向胸部方向抬起时,这两个区域会比正常情况更早相遇,导致盂唇和关节面被夹在中间受到挤压。
主要有两种模式。凸轮型撞击源于球体侧:股骨头部不够圆润,因此在窝体内旋转时,会剪切窝体表面的软骨衬里。钳夹型撞击源于窝体侧:窝体边缘比正常更向外突出,将盂唇夹在两块骨头之间。大多数人同时存在这两种情况的轻微表现。随着时间的推移,这种反复的挤压可能导致盂唇磨损或撕裂,覆盖关节面的光滑软骨也可能开始从下方的骨面上剥离。若不加干预,这种磨损最终可能导致髋关节的退行性关节炎。
值得注意的是,许多人存在这些微小的形状变化,但从未感到任何不适。仅凭形状本身不会引起问题,直到髋关节开始疼痛。这就是为什么您的外科医生在判断病情时,会关注您的症状和体格检查,而不仅仅是影像学扫描结果。
我们如何处理该问题¶
对于大多数髋关节撞击综合征患者,首选治疗方案并非手术。我们通常从非手术治疗开始:改变您的活动和训练方式,并进行一个疗程的理疗。理疗旨在缓解您的症状,改善关节功能,并增强髋部周围的肌肉力量。这通常包括减轻将髋关节推入卡压位置的活动,例如深蹲、弓步、骑自行车和跨栏。您的训练计划可能包括强化臀部肌肉的练习,并训练您控制那些使髋关节过载的动作。髋部前侧的紧张也会得到处理,因为它可能导致骨盆倾斜,从而更早引发卡压。有些人还能从手法治疗中获益,以松解关节周围的僵硬区域。请给予充分的治疗时间:在考虑手术之前,通常预期需要完成一个完整的理疗疗程,至少持续 3 个月。许多伴有盂唇撕裂的患者,在经过至少 1 年的非手术治疗后会有所改善。
止痛药和抗炎药(常见的一类称为非甾体抗炎药)可以帮助您在康复期间保持活动。向髋关节注射是另一种选择。透明质酸是一种润滑液,可减轻轻度撞击综合征的疼痛并改善功能。富血小板血浆(一种由您自身血液制备的制剂)并未被证明能改善髋关节撞击手术后的效果。
当髋部疼痛持续至少 3 个月,影响运动或日常生活,且经理疗、活动调整、抗炎药或注射治疗后仍未缓解时,手术便成为考虑选项。该手术为髋关节镜手术(通过小切口进行的微创手术),我们将重塑股骨上的凸起或修整突出的髋臼缘,并在盂唇撕裂时进行修复。我们会与您讨论该方案是否适合您,任何关于手术的决定都是我们共同做出的。
预期情况¶
若不接受治疗,髋关节撞击综合征的症状很可能会随时间推移而加重。经治疗后,许多患者可获得改善。所有针对该病症的髋关节关节镜(微创手术)研究均发现,术后2年或更长时间,患者对自身髋关节状况的自评有所改善。约半数患者在术后12个月时达到其描述为“非常好”的效果,因此手术对许多人有帮助,但并非所有人都能实现无痛髋关节。
时机至关重要。术前症状持续2年或更久的人群,其手术效果往往不如较早接受治疗的人群。在青少年中,症状持续时间似乎不会影响手术效果。
有几点诚实的说明。目前尚不清楚治疗撞击综合征能否预防髋关节退行性关节炎,也没有证据表明其会改变该风险。影像学检查还显示,部分接受该手术的患者随时间推移出现了更多关节炎。另一侧髋关节也很重要:约四分之一的髋关节撞击综合征患者在对侧髋关节出现症状,且16%起初无症状的髋关节在随后几年内出现症状。在更长的随访期内,约半数患者最终在对侧髋关节出现明显症状,而约半数患者保持舒适或接近舒适状态。
若双侧髋关节均需手术,可同时进行或分阶段分别进行。两种方法均可带来症状缓解和髋关节功能改善,且同时手术不会增加并发症、术后疼痛或止痛药使用量。
对许多人而言,长期效果保持稳定,包括那些伴有轻度髋臼浅(轻度髋关节发育不良)的患者,其中91%的髋关节在10年或更长时间后避免了再次手术。运动员,包括年长的竞技运动员,报告的效果与其他患者相似,且大多数能恢复其活动。
何时就医¶
如果您在活动后反复出现腹股沟疼痛,或久坐、驾驶、穿袜子和鞋子时出现无法缓解的疼痛,请咨询您的全科医生。如果您的髋部感觉僵硬、有卡顿感或弹响,如果一侧髋关节的活动范围小于另一侧,或者您注意到跛行,请要求专科医生评估。对于患有髋部或腹股沟疼痛的活跃青少年和年轻人,这一点尤为重要,因为该病症初期常被漏诊,且诊断延迟较为常见。如果一侧髋部受到影响,请密切关注另一侧:约四分之一的人会在对侧髋部出现症状,而经过数年,大约有一半的人会出现症状。尽早接受评估是值得的,因为未治疗的症状往往会随时间恶化,且当症状持续时间少于2年时,手术后的效果更好。

Anatomy & Pathophysiology¶
Definitions and Classification¶
- Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is defined as a dynamic mechanical conflict between the proximal femur and the acetabulum [9].
- Intra-articular FAI occurs when the femoral head-neck junction abuts against the acetabular rim [9].
- Extra-articular FAI occurs due to conflicts between the lesser trochanter and ischium, greater trochanter and supra-acetabular region, or femoral neck and anterior-inferior iliac spine [9].
- Three types of FAI are recognized: cam, pincer, and combined cam/pincer [2].
- Combined cam/pincer deformities are common [2].
- Cam impingement is characterized by femoral-based abnormalities such as an aspherical femoral head, reduced head-neck offset, or femoral retroversion [2].
- Pincer impingement is characterized by acetabular-based disorders such as acetabular retroversion, global overcoverage, or acetabular protrusio [2].
- Cam impingement is most common in young males [5].
- Pincer impingement is most common in middle-aged females [5].
Cam Impingement Pathophysiology¶
- In cam impingement, the aspherical femoral head creates a shearing force along the acetabular cartilage during hip flexion [5].
- This shearing force results in articular cartilage delamination [5].
- Cam impingement may also result in avulsion of the labrum [5].
- The typical injury pattern with cam impingement is a tear at the base of the labrum at the labral-chondral junction [10].
- In cam impingement, the acetabular labrum is relatively spared compared to the adjacent articular cartilage [10].
- Cam deformity is typically located anterolateral on the femoral neck [5].
Pincer Impingement Pathophysiology¶
- Pincer impingement results from acetabular overcoverage causing abnormal contact between the acetabular rim and the femoral head-neck junction [5].
- Pincer impingement causes intrasubstance tears of the labrum, typically in the anterosuperior quadrant [5].
- In pincer impingement, the anterosuperior femoral head is levered against the acetabular rim [5].
- A contrecoup cartilage lesion may occur in the posteroinferior acetabulum due to levering of the femoral neck on the acetabular rim [5].
- In pincer impingement, the labrum suffers more damage than the adjacent articular cartilage, which is relatively spared [10].
- Pincer impingement may worsen over time due to reactive bone growth at the acetabular rim or calcification of the labrum [10].
Etiology and Development¶
- The origin of cam deformities is controversial and has been the focus of investigations [9].
- Cam deformity can be secondary to pediatric hip diseases including slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) [9].
- Idiopathic cam deformity is suggested to be the most common acquired hip deformity in adolescents [9].
- Intense physical activity during adolescence may cause mechanical overloading across the epiphyseal plate, leading to increased epiphyseal extension [9].
- Increased epiphyseal extension can broaden the head-neck junction, flattening the physiological convexity or creating a convex cam morphology [9].
- A 2.8 relative risk of cam deformity in the siblings of affected individuals suggests genetic contributions [18].
- Cam deformity is more prevalent in adolescents who practice impact physical activities such as basketball, hockey, and soccer [9].
- Studies of young athletes demonstrate a lack of cam deformity in skeletally immature individuals but a presence after physeal closure [18].
- A cross-sectional MRI study found that abnormal alpha angles were not present in any hips with open physes, but 14% of hips with closed physes had cam deformities [10].
- Daily activity levels for patients with cam deformities are significantly higher than for those without deformity [10].
Prevalence in Asymptomatic Populations¶
- The prevalence of FAIS deformity in asymptomatic adults is estimated at approximately 14%, with 24% in males and 5% in females [18].
- Males are three to five times more likely to have cam deformities than females [18].
- Cam deformity is more likely to be bilateral in males than in females [18].
- A review of 473 CT scans showed that 40% of asymptomatic hips had radiographic findings associated with FAI [16].
- In asymptomatic adolescents, the rate of cam deformity (α angle ≥55°) was 16.8%, pincer deformity (lateral center edge angle ≥40°) was 32.4%, and mixed-type deformity was 6.1% [16].
- Cam morphology is substantially more common in males, while pincer deformities are equally distributed among males and females [16].
- More than 90% of asymptomatic adolescents have at least one radiographic parameter suggesting FAI, and 50% have two [5].
- The prevalence of coxa profunda is the same in asymptomatic patients as in those with diagnosed FAI [5].
Progression to Osteoarthritis¶
- FAI is recognized as a common cause of hip dysfunction and secondary osteoarthritis [2].
- In patients under 50 years of age undergoing total hip replacement for osteoarthritis, 97% had radiographic signs of cam, pincer, or mixed type impingement after excluding developmental dysplasia, SCFE, and Perthes disease [10].
- A cam deformity with an alpha angle of more than 60 degrees had an adjusted odds ratio of 3.67 for development of end-stage osteoarthritis [10].
- An alpha angle of more than 83 degrees had an adjusted odds ratio of 9.66 for development of end-stage osteoarthritis [10].
- In a 20-year longitudinal study of 1003 women, each degree increase in the alpha angle over 65 degrees was associated with a 5% increase in the risk of developing osteoarthritis [10].
- In a comparison of hips undergoing total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis to nonarthritic hips, 20% of arthritic hips had evidence of acetabular retroversion, compared to 5% of asymptomatic hips [10].
- Deep acetabular sockets had an adjusted risk ratio of 2.4 for the development of osteoarthritis in the Copenhagen Osteoarthritis Study [10].
- Chondrolabral damage occurs in asymptomatic patients with FAI and progresses within five years in those younger than 20 years [22].
- Chondrolabral damage develops within five years in patients treated with in situ pinning for SCFE, as the acquired deformity causes cam-type impingement [22].
Extra-Articular Impingement¶
- Subspine impingement is an extra-articular form of impingement occurring between the femoral head-neck junction and a prominent anterior-inferior iliac spine (AIIS) [17].
- The prevalence of subspine impingement is reported to be 23.7% [17].
- Three variants of AIIS morphology are described: type I (smooth ilium wall), type II (AIIS prominence extends to or above acetabular rim), and type III (AIIS extends distally to acetabular rim) [17].
- Pathologic AIIS morphology can be developmental (types I and II) or arise following pelvic osteotomy or prior rectus femoris injury/avulsion (type III) [17].
- Ischiofemoral impingement occurs between the lesser trochanter and the ischium [17].
- Trochanteric-pelvic impingement occurs between the greater trochanter and the ilium [17].
- Intra-articular steroid injection typically provides no relief or only partial relief of symptomatic extra-articular impingement [17].
Classification¶
- Three types of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are recognized: cam, pincer, and combined cam/pincer [2].
- Cam impingement is characterized by femoral-based abnormalities, including an aspherical femoral head, reduced head-neck offset, and femoral retroversion or relative retroversion [2].
- Cam impingement results in repetitive abutment of the acetabular rim and the femoral head-neck junction [2].
- Pincer impingement is characterized by acetabular-based disorders, including acetabular retroversion, global overcoverage, and acetabular protrusio [2].
- Pincer impingement creates abnormal abutment of the acetabular rim and the femoral head-neck junction [2].
- Combined cam/pincer deformities are common in patients with FAI [2].
- Subspinal impingement morphology is a frequent finding in patients with symptomatic FAI evaluated by computed tomography [24].
- A decrease in femoral anteversion is considered a useful criterion to suspect subspinal impingement morphology [24].
Clinical Presentation¶
History and Symptoms¶
- Patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) frequently present with activity-related groin pain that is exacerbated by hip flexion activities [2].
- Patients may report difficulty with prolonged sitting, walking, running, or pivoting [2].
- The onset of symptoms is often insidious or follows minor trauma [2].
- Patients may complain of pain with sitting, driving, or putting on socks and shoes [7].
- Mechanical symptoms secondary to labral and articular cartilage disease are common in symptomatic FAI [2].
- Most patients with symptomatic impingement present with activity-related groin pain [4].
- Active adolescents and young adults who report hip and/or groin pain should be assessed for FAI syndrome (FAIS) [4].
Physical Examination¶
- A mild, intermittent limp is common in patients with FAI, occurring in up to 75% of patients [23].
- Abductor weakness on the affected side is often seen with a positive Trendelenburg sign [23].
- Restricted hip motion is a defining feature of symptomatic FAIS [4].
- Affected individuals often have less than 100° of straight flexion and less than 10° of internal rotation with the hip at 90° of flexion [23].
- Bilateral disease is seen in approximately 75% of patients, but is symptomatic in fewer than 25% [23].
- Patients with FAI will exhibit restricted hip internal rotation in 90° of flexion [2].
- The anterior impingement test (flexion, adduction, internal rotation) elicits pain in the anterior groin and is present in most patients (88%) with symptomatic FAIS [23].
- The anterior impingement test is not specific for FAI and may be positive in any patient with a labral or chondral injury [23].
- The subspine impingement test involves maximal anterior groin pain with direct hip flexion beyond 90° while maintaining neutral rotation and abduction [23].
- Intra-articular anesthetic injection can be used to diagnose FAI; substantial or complete relief signifies an intra-articular source of pathology [23].
- Little to no pain relief following intra-articular injection warrants assessment for extra-articular sources of impingement or other pelvic or lumbar pathology [23].
Imaging and Diagnostic Findings¶
- The AP pelvis view is used to assess acetabular anatomy, including version, acetabular coverage, and femoral head sphericity [2].
- Lateral views, most commonly the 45° Dunn view and frog-leg lateral, are used to assess femoral head sphericity and head-neck offset [2].
- MRI or magnetic resonance arthrography provides information regarding the integrity of the acetabular labrum and articular cartilage [2].
- Low-dose CT with three-dimensional reformats is particularly useful in surgical planning of complex or borderline deformities [2].
- A "pistol-grip deformity," demonstrating a nonspherical femoral head, is seen in cam impingement [5].
- A crossover sign, where the anterior wall crosses lateral to the posterior wall, is classically seen with acetabular retroversion that causes pincer impingement [5].
- An alpha angle of more than 50 degrees is typical in hips with loss of sphericity [7].
- The prevalence of coxa profunda has been demonstrated to be the same in asymptomatic patients as in those with diagnosed FAI [5].
- There is a high rate of false-positive radiographic findings for FAI [5].
Investigations¶
Clinical Presentation and History¶
- Most patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) present with activity-related groin pain that is exacerbated by hip flexion activities [2].
- Patients with symptomatic FAI frequently report difficulty with prolonged sitting, walking, running, or pivoting [2].
- The onset of symptoms in FAI is typically insidious or follows minor trauma [2].
- Approximately 80% of patients with symptomatic impingement present with pain in the anterior groin or lateral hip [12].
- Approximately 25% of patients with symptomatic impingement report pain in the lumbar spine, buttock, or referred pain to the knee [12].
- Patients with symptomatic impingement often display the classic "C" sign when describing the location of pain [12].
- Pain in FAI is often worse with activity such as running, cutting, and pivoting, and is exacerbated in positions of hip flexion such as prolonged sitting or squatting [12].
Physical Examination¶
- Patients with FAI exhibit restricted hip internal rotation in 90° of flexion [2].
- The impingement test, performed by flexion, adduction, and internal rotation of the hip, elicits pain but is not specific for FAI [2].
- A positive anterior impingement test is defined as reproduction of symptoms with passive flexion, adduction, and internal rotation [5].
- Patients with FAI generally have more passive external rotation than internal rotation [5].
- A FABER (flexion, abduction, external rotation) test may show an increased knee-to-table distance on the affected side in patients with FAI [7].
- Palpation of the hip typically does not reproduce tenderness in patients with FAI [7].
- Asymmetrical range of motion between the hips is a characteristic finding in FAI [7].
Plain Radiography¶
- Standard preoperative radiographs for FAI include a standing AP pelvis, false-profile, Dunn views, and frog-lateral views [14].
- For an accurate standing AP pelvis view, the coccyx should be centered in the midline with its tip within 1 to 3 cm of the pubic symphysis [14].
- A crossover sign, where the anterior wall crosses lateral to the posterior wall, is classically seen with acetabular retroversion causing pincer impingement [5].
- The alpha angle is determined on lateral radiographs, and values greater than 50° indicate cam deformity [14].
- The 45° Dunn view has been shown to be more sensitive in detecting the presence and severity of cam deformity than the 90° Dunn view [14].
- The frog-lateral view has improved specificity for cam morphology compared with the Dunn view [14].
- On the AP pelvis view, a lateral center edge angle (LCEA) greater than 40° indicates pincer morphology [14].
- A crossover sign combined with an ischial spine sign and a posterior wall sign is indicative of true acetabular retroversion [14].
- The false-profile view is obtained with the patient rotated at an angle of 65° between the pelvis and x-ray source to profile the anterior acetabulum [14].
- An anterior center edge angle greater than 40° on the false-profile view indicates excessive anterior overcoverage [14].
- Radiographic findings concerning for acetabular undercoverage include an LCEA less than 20° and a Tönnis angle greater than 10° [14].
- An anterior center edge angle less than 20° on the false-profile view is indicative of acetabular undercoverage [14].
Advanced Imaging¶
- The sensitivity of MRI to acetabular rim chondral lesions is limited [2].
- CT can provide additional information about femur-acetabulum mismatch [5].
- Magnetic resonance arthrogram can be used to provide information about cartilaginous and labral injuries [5].
- In asymptomatic adolescents, the rate of cam deformity (defined as an α angle ≥55°) was 16.8%, pincer deformity (defined as a lateral center edge angle ≥40°) was 32.4%, and mixed-type deformity was 6.1% [16].
- In a study of 96 asymptomatic hips with radiographic findings consistent with FAI, 82.3% of patients remained free of radiographic arthritic changes at a mean follow-up of 18.5 years [16].
- Subspinal impingement morphology was a frequent finding in patients with symptomatic FAI evaluated by computed tomography using a three-dimensional dynamic study [24].
- A decrease in femoral anteversion was considered a useful criterion to suspect subspinal impingement morphology [24].
Diagnostic Injections¶
- Anesthetic intra-articular and extra-articular injections can aid in the diagnosis of combined FAI and athletic pubalgia [13].
- Initial management of FAI is typically conservative, including diagnostic or therapeutic injections [5].
Treatment¶
Non-Operative Management¶
- The 2016 Warwick Agreement defined FAI syndrome as a diagnosis related to the triad of symptoms, clinical signs, and imaging findings [8].
- Evidence supports the use of formal physical therapy interventions postoperatively versus self-directed rehabilitation [8].
- Nonsurgical rehabilitation for FAI syndrome should focus on activity modification, treatment of physical impairments, and optimization of joint function [8].
- Activities that place the hip in a position of impingement should be minimized as an initial recommendation when treating FAI syndrome [8].
- Combined positions of flexion, adduction, and internal rotation are commonly associated with increased symptoms in FAI [8].
- Deep squatting, lunging, cycling, and hurdling are examples of activities that may require modification during rehabilitation for FAI [8].
- Individuals with FAI syndrome have been noted to have particular deficits of the abductors, external rotators, flexors, and extensors of the hip compared with a control group [8].
- Uncontrolled pelvic motion in the frontal and transverse planes can contribute to the pain associated with FAI [8].
- Individuals with FAI syndrome have been found to have reduced posterior pelvis excursion and altered pelvifemoral coordination in both weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing tasks [8].
- Strengthening exercises for FAI should be advanced to include weight-bearing activities that challenge the patient to control excessive adduction and internal rotation of the hip [8].
- Exercises that maximize gluteal recruitment and minimize use of the tensor fascia lata should be emphasized in FAI rehabilitation [8].
- Resisted clam shell, resisted sidestep, unilateral bridge, and quadruped hip extension exercises are examples of exercises used to maximize gluteal recruitment in FAI rehabilitation [8].
- Exercises to strengthen the lumbopelvic muscles should be considered for patients with FAI [8].
- Appropriate lumbopelvic control can help decrease the occurrence of excessive anterior pelvic tilt associated with impingement secondary to altered acetabular orientation [8].
- Patients with FAI syndrome may demonstrate impaired hip and pelvic musculature flexibility [8].
- Treating hip flexor tightness should be a priority in flexibility activities for FAI because excessive tightness can be associated with anterior pelvic tilt [8].
- Anterior pelvic tilt has been correlated with the occurrence of FAI earlier in hip range of motion [8].
- Clinicians must be cautious to avoid placing patients in positions associated with symptomatic impingement when prescribing stretching activities for FAI [8].
- Joint mobilization may be indicated for patients with FAI when examination suggests a loss of capsular mobility [8].
- Examination findings suggesting a loss of capsular mobility in FAI include loss of passive range of motion, a capsular end-feel with passive range of motion assessment, and a decrease in symptoms with manual distraction of the hip joint [8].
- Soft-tissue mobilization can be useful for patients with FAI when tissue restricts joint mobility [8].
- A loss of motion associated with an elastic end-feel coupled with an immediate response to manual treatment of the target tissue indicates soft-tissue mobilization as a potentially useful intervention for FAI [8].
Operative Management¶
- Hip arthroscopy is an effective treatment modality for FAI syndrome [4].
- Both arthroscopic and open techniques are effective in the surgical management of FAI syndrome [4].
- Failure to address all the components of osseous impingement is a prime reason for continued pain and dysfunction following hip arthroscopy [4].
- Residual deformity is a leading cause of continued pain after the surgical management of FAI syndrome [4].
- In the absence of preexisting chondral disease, residual impingement is the leading cause of continued postoperative pain and revision surgery [21].
- A recent randomized clinical trial reported that hip arthroscopy led to a greater improvement than physical therapy [21].
- The current literature does not support prophylactic cam or pincer decompression in asymptomatic patients [21].
Outcomes and Prognostic Factors¶
- Reduced pain and improved function are reported in 68% to 96% of patients following surgical treatment of FAI syndrome [21].
- Approximately 75% of athletes are able to return to competition at the same level or better following surgical treatment of FAI syndrome [21].
- The long-term effect of hip arthroscopy and its potential to alter the natural history of FAI syndrome and prevent early degenerative joint disease remain to be determined [21].
- Ten-year outcomes on 145 patients reported a 76% survivorship following surgical treatment of FAI syndrome [21].
- The presence of preoperative osteoarthritis (Tönnis grade ≥ 2 or Outerbridge grade ≥ 3) is the strongest predictor of poor outcome following hip arthroscopy for FAI syndrome [21].
- Older age, a longer duration of symptoms, more severe preoperative pain, and poorer functional scores are factors associated with a poorer outcome following surgical intervention for FAI syndrome [21].
- Older age, preexisting osteoarthritis, and a longer duration of symptoms are risk factors for poor outcomes following surgical intervention for FAI syndrome [4].
