Abstract

The patient with FAI is typically a 20–50-year-old male with insidious hip pain but with no traumatic injury [1, 2]. In the first appointment, the focus must be placed on the etiology of the symptoms. These symptoms could be divided into pain that is referred to the hip (lumbar pain, pelvic pain), extra-articular pain (piriformis syndrome, trochanteric bursitis, psoas bursitis), intra-articular pain without bone deformity (labral lesion, chondral defects, loose bodies, synovitis), intra-articular pain with bone deformity (dysplasia, femoroacetabular impingement, Perthes-type deformity, avascular necrosis), and advanced joint degeneration.
