Femoraacetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAI)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hip impingement syndrome, medically known as\u00a0<\/span>femoroacetabular impingement<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(FAI), is a condition caused by abnormal contact between the femoral head and the hip socket (acetabulum) due to irregular bone shapes. In FAI, extra bone develops around the femoral head, the acetabulum, or both, leading to a misshapen joint structure. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This abnormality causes the bones to rub against each other during movement, which can result in hip pain, stiffness, and over time, damage to the cartilage and labrum. FAI is more common in athletes and physically active individuals, and if left untreated, it can lead to early-onset hip arthritis. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to protect the joint and prevent further deterioration. In this article, I\u2019ll explain the causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and both non-surgical and surgical treatment options for FAI in detail.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
