Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: Case Report

Abstract

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is one of the main causes of hip pain which led to early osteoarthritis in young and active patients. This is characterized by a pathologic contact between femur and acetabulum. In addition to clinical tests, conventional radiography has an important role in diagnosing. Although it is effective to conservative treatment approaches, there are more publications on surgical interventions. In this article it is presented a 43 years old male patient diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement. As a result of the physical examination of the patient admitted to our outpatient clinic due to increasing pain in the right hip for one year while walking and climbing stairs, it is found that the right hip movements are painfull. There are images in conventional radiography, thickness of femoral neck, hump malformation, subchondrial cystic resorbtion, supraacetabular sclerosis and avulsion.
