Study Notes
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)
- FAI is a condition where the hip joint is not shaped normally, affecting either the acetabulum or femoral head.
- Bones rubbing together leads to pain and reduced range of motion (ROM).
- Untreated FAI can damage cartilage, leading to osteoarthritis.
- Common cause of hip pain across age groups, from adolescents to athletes.
FAI Types
- CAM Impingement: Nonspherical femoral head.
- Pincer Impingement: Overhanging rim of the acetabulum, resulting in extra bone.
- Mixed Impingement: Combination of CAM and Pincer types.
FAI: Damage to the Hip Joint
- Pincer Impingement: Acetabular labrum damage.
- Pincer Impingement: Potential secondary articular damage, increasing osteoarthritis risk.
- CAM Impingement: Articular cartilage damage due to delamination.
FAI: Etiology & Symptoms
- Etiology: Repetitive stress activities.
- Common Athletes: Hockey, soccer, runners, dancers.
- Common Occurrence: FAI can exist without pain or symptoms.
- FAI Syndrome: Motion-related hip disorder characterized by a triad of symptoms, clinical signs, and imaging findings.
- Symptoms: Hip pain, limited ROM, pain with hip rotation, pain with sitting and standing after prolonged sitting.
- Impingement Tests: FADIR test (forced flexion, adduction, and internal rotation) reproduces symptoms.
Labral Tear
- Etiology: Often found with FAI, alongside articular damage.
- Etiology: Can be caused by trauma or repetitive stress activities.
- Common Athletes: Hockey, soccer, runners, dancers.
- Location: Most common tear is anterior.
- Anatomy: The labrum is a fibrocartilaginous rim attached to the acetabulum, deepening the hip socket
Labral Tears: Symptoms
- Symptoms: Hip or groin pain, catching or clicking, pain with hip rotation, worsening with prolonged sitting, standing, or walking.
- Symptoms: Stiffness or limited ROM in the hip joint.
Labral Tear: Rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation: Essential for successful outcomes.
- Rehabilitation: Compliance with rehab protocol and post-surgery restrictions is critical.
FAI and Labral Tear: Test
- Anterior Labral Tear Test: Video available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmK_PhkUbaM.
- Anterior Labral Tear Test: Performed by passively moving the hip through a sequence of motions (flexion, external rotation, abduction followed by internal rotation, adduction, and extension).
- Positive Test: Reproduces symptoms (pain and/or clicking).
FAI and Labral Tears: Treatment
- Conservative Treatment: Mobility and strengthening exercises.
- Surgical Treatment: Arthroscopic resection/debridement or repair.
- Labral Debridement: WB restrictions for 2 weeks, no ROM restrictions.
- Labral Repair or Refixation: ER limited for 4 weeks post-op with antirotation bolster; flexion limited to 80-90°; 50% body weight WB.
-
Rehabilitation:
- Phase I: Protected WB; gentle isometric exercise, ROM within pain-free range.
- Phase II: Progression of strengthening and ROM.
- Full ROM: Expected by 4-6 weeks.
