Hip Problems: Hip Impingement – KS Ortho Care

Understanding Hip Impingement

Hip impingement, also known as Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI), is a condition where extra bone growth around the hip joint causes abnormal contact between the thigh bone (femur) and the hip socket (acetabulum). Over time, this friction can damage the cartilage and labrum, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.

At KS Ortho Care, our orthopedic specialists provide advanced diagnosis and treatment to help patients manage hip impingement effectively and restore mobility.

Types of Hip Impingement

There are three main types of hip impingement:

• Cam Impingement – Occurs when the femoral head is not perfectly round, causing abnormal rubbing in the socket.

• Pincer Impingement – Happens when the hip socket has excess bone, leading to increased pressure on the cartilage and labrum.

• Combined Impingement – A combination of both cam and pincer types, which is most commonly seen.

Symptoms of Hip Impingement

• Pain in the front or side of the hip

• Stiffness after sitting or resting

• Clicking, locking, or catching sensations in the hip

• Difficulty bending, squatting, or twisting

• Pain worsening during physical activities like running or climbing stairs

Diagnosis at KS Ortho Care

Our orthopedic experts use advanced diagnostic tools to identify hip impingement accurately:

• Physical examination to assess movement and detect pain points

• X-rays and MRI scans to check for bone abnormalities and cartilage damage

• Labral tear evaluation using specialized imaging techniques
