Femoroacetabular Impingement: Have We Hit a Global Tipping Point in Diagnosis and Treatment? Results From the InterNational Femoroacetabular Impingement Optimal Care Update Survey (IN FOCUS)

Conventional and Arthrographic Magnetic Resonance Techniques for Hip Evaluation: What the Radiologist Should Know

“…Pain relief following injection of local anesthetics can confirm the hip as the primary source of pain and is therefore considered a valuable diagnostic test by some surgeons. 98,99 For injection, patients are positioned supine. The pelvis can be rotated 15 degrees to the contralateral side for a more medial position of the neurovascular bundle relative to the needle trajectory.…”

Editorial Commentary: Safe Innovation? Arthroscopy After Traumatic Hip Dislocation

“…1,2 Based on a recent survey conducted by our research team, hip arthroscopy appears to be at the "tipping point for widespread adoption in the global orthopaedic community." 3 As such one can expect hip arthroscopy to increasingly play a role in the orthopaedic "tool box." I read the paper "Arthroscopy After Traumatic Hip Dislocation: A Systematic Review of Intra-articular Findings, Correlation With Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography, Treatments, and Outcomes" by Mandell, Marshall, Banffy, Khurana, and Weaver 4 with keen interest.…”

Editorial Commentary: Looking Past the Hip Joint—The Role of Pelvic Incidence in Femoroacetabular Impingement

“…1 Our understanding of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been increasing over the past 10 to 15 years, and most of us orthopaedic surgeons now recognize FAI as a potential cause of osteoarthritis. 2 Most have heard about the abnormal contact between the femoral head and the acetabular socket due to cam and pincer deformities, and we have started to look beyond the hip for sources of pain and disability: The likes of subspine impingement 3 and ischiofemoral impingement 4 have been described. Of course, we have heard about hipspine syndrome, a term coined 30 years ago.…”
