Hip impingement or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition in which there is an abnormal relationship between the top of the femur, especially the head and the neck, with the rim of the hip socket or acetabulum.
For the hip to last a lifetime, the ball and socket and cartilage structures all must work together like a well-oiled machine. When abnormal contact occurs between the ball of the hip and the rim of the hip socket, this condition is called femoral acetabular impingement or hip impingement.This abnormal ball-and-socket contact exposes the rim of the hip socket to tremendous forces that can tear or crush the labral cartilage structure.or the hip to last a lifetime, the ball and socket and cartilage structures all must work together like a well-oiled machine.
