Background: Following the reintroduction of metal-on-metal articulating surfaces for total hip
arthroplasty in Europe in 1988, we developed a surface arthroplasty prosthetic system using …

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a recently proposed mechanism causing abnormal
contact stresses and potential joint damage around the hip. In the majority of cases, a bony …

Femoroacetabular impingement secondary to the cam effect is thought to be associated with
an insufficient anterior concavity in the sagittal/axial plane of the femoral head‐neck junction…

Background Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement is secondary to lack of concavity at
the anterosuperior femoral head-neck junction, resulting in reduced femoral head-neck offset …

Radiographic evaluation provides essential information regarding the diagnosis and treatment
of musculoskeletal disorders. We evaluated the ability of hip specialists to reliably identify …

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement has been recently described as a common
cause of hip pain and labral tears in young adults. We evaluated the early clinical results and …

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) causes abnormal contact at the anterosuperior aspect
of the acetabulum in activities requiring a large hip range of motion (ROM). We addressed …

Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) is known to be a successful surgical procedure to
alleviate hip pain and to improve health-related quality of life, these outcome measures in THA …

Background Although injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a known
complication of anterior approaches to the hip and pelvis, no study has quantified its’ incidence in …

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been reported to cause hip pain in a variety of
daily activities including walking. However, the biomechanics of level gait has not been …
