Zusammenfassung
Beim femoroazetabulären Impingement (FAI) kommt es zu einem verfrühten und schmerzhaften
ossären Anschlag zwischen dem proximalen Femur und dem Azetabulum oder Becken. Der
Artikel beschreibt anhand von Fallbeispielen die verschiedenen Typen von FAI, die
klinischen Symptome, die typischen Zeichen in der Bildgebung sowie die verschiedenen
Behandlungsmöglichkeiten.
Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a painful and early contact between the proximal
femur and the acetabular rim or the pelvis. The pathological bony abutment typically
leads to a characteristic pattern of chondrolabral damage and is one of the main reasons
for development of early osteoarthritis in the young hip joint. Classically, FAI was
described as an intraarticular problem but the extraarticular impingement has recently
gained in importance. This article provides an overview of the concept of FAI, the
clinical presentation, the radiological assessment including its coxometric parameters
and the treatment options currently available.
