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.
Tears in the labrum and hip impingement are the two most common conditions treated using hip arthroscopy. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint, and the lip around the socket where the ball of the femur inserts is called the labrum. The labrum can experience tears or degeneration. A hip impingement can occur when any of the bones of the joint somehow become misshapen or even when the patient is born with an oddly shaped hip.
