The hip joint is one of the biggest joints in our body. Not only this but it is also one of the ball socket synovial joints. It plays a vital role in various movements like walking, running, standing, sitting, and sports activities. However, the joint is also subjected to various traumatic and non-traumatic injuries and that affects a person’s ability to use this joint. Depending on the severity of the condition, the healthcare service provider suggests feasible treatment. In severe cases, the healthcare service provider will recommend a surgical intervention that may also involve the use of hip Ortho Implants.
In this post, we will talk about one of the hip conditions called Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI). Let us start with a brief introduction to the condition.
What is Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)?
FAI is a condition characterized by an abnormally shaped hip joint that causes the bones in the joint to rub together. This movement results in friction between the thighbone and the acetabulum.
FAI is a painful condition that restricts the person from properly doing routine activities. It is very important to get the condition treated timely as in the long run, it can damage the cushioning in the hip. As a result, it can lead to arthritis or joint deterioration.
