Biomechanical Trends of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
摘要
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) with cam-type morphology is prevalent among young athletic males. Evidence suggests that FAIS is a leading factor in the development of hip OA. The purpose of this work is to present the biomechanical trends in FAIS, reporting on the prevalence, symptoms, hip morphology variability, and motion analysis in FAIS individuals pre- and postoperatively. Cam morphology as the sole contributor to mechanical impingement does not sufficiently explain the symptomology of the hip pain. To better understand which individuals are at risk of developing FAIS, we examine the anatomical parameters of the spinopelvic and coxofemoral joints, as well as subject-specific motion analysis of asymptomatic and symptomatic FAIS individuals pre- and postoperatively. Consequently, the aim of this chapter is to provide health care professionals with a more thorough assessment of specific anatomical measurements, hip and spinopelvic biomechanics, muscle contraction patterns, and joint loading, thereby helping to identify those at greater risk of requiring conservative or nonconservative intervention.
