Pelvis and Hip - FAI Flashcards
What is a femoral actabular impingement?
Abnormal hip joint morphology or bony shape and arangement
- symptomatic contact between proximal femur and acetabulum
What are some functional questionnaires for femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
- HOS ( hip outcome score) ADL and Sport Related Activities
- HAGOS (Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score)
- iHOT 33 (International Hip Outcome Tool)
What gender is femoral acetabular impingement syndrome more common in?
Biological males more than females
What makes the prevalence of femoral acetabular impingement syndrome higher?
- vigorous or end range activities such as dance
Can you be born with femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
YES
Can femoral acetabular impingement syndrome be present without symptoms?
YES
What are risk factors for femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
- Genetics and biological sex
- Susceptible populations and activities
- Abnormal hip/pelvic kinematics
What about genetics and biological sex increase the risk for femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
- abnormal bony morphology
- higher risk for siblings
What susceptible populations and activities increase the risk of femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
- vigorous loading in athletics
- use of excessive motion
- pediatric hip conditions (i.e. Legg-Calve Syndrome)
What are some abnormal hip/pelvic kinematics that can be risk factors for femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
- anterior pelvic tilt position
- limited posterior tilt that may also limit the coupled hip ER
- Excessive hip adduction
- Limited hip IR but this is more likely due to bony abutment than capsular tightness
What is the etiology of femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
Largely unknown
What is the etiology of femoral acetabular impingement syndrome MORE often?
- abnormal hip mechanics
- vigorous athletic loading
- combo of both above
What is the etiology of femoral acetabular impingement syndrome LESS often?
- slipped capital femoral epiphysis
- femoral neck fx and/or malunion
- Legg-Calve-Perthes’ Disease - avascular necrosis
What are the 3 congenital type of FAIS?
- CAM
- Pincer
- Combination of the two
What is a CAM impingement caused by?
- less spherical femoral head
Where does the head contact the acetabulum with a CAM impingement?
- Head contact anterosuperior acetabulum or 12 o’clock position
What gender is a CAM impingement more common in?
Biological Males
What can we find with radiology of a CAM impingement?
- 37% presence in general population without pain
- 55% presence in athletes without pain
What causes a pincer impingement?
deeper acetabulum or anterior osteophyte
Where does the neck contact the acetabulum with a Pincer impingement?
- neck primarily contacts anterosuperior but may also contact posterior labrum (countercoup phenomenon)
What population is a Pincer impingement most common in?
- Middle aged athletic and biological females
What structures are involved with femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
- articular cartilage
- Labral
** WITH or WITHOUT age-related joint changes/labral tears
What makes up the labrum?
type I collagen
Is femoral acetabular impingement syndrome gradual or traumatic?
Most often insidious or gradual
What can happen along with femoral acetabular impingement syndrome?
Labral tears
