GARCIA FREIRE, Boris Luis; PEREZ HERNANDEZ, Luis Miguel  e  ACOSTA DANIEL, Raúl. Femoroacetabular impingement causing hip pain in young adults. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.

Hip pain in adults has traditionally been associated with osteoarthritis in that joint. However, in our consultations we see many young patients with hip pain, with no arthritis. Recently, an abnormal contact between the acetabulum and the femoral head-neck union, known as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome has been recognized as a relatively common pre-arthritis cause of these symptoms. An extensive literature review was conducted in order to determine the incidence of femoroacetabular impingement reported in international literature and all related to the clinical and radiological diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Femoroacetabular impingement is a major cause of hip pain in adult and osteoarthritis; hip arthroscopy is taking an increasingly prominent role in the treatment of this condition.

Palavras-chave : Femoroacetabular impingement; osteoarthritis; arthroscopy.
