Hip Impingement (Femoral Acetabular Impingement) - Foley James D MD
Understanding Hip Impingement
Hip impingement, also known as femoral acetabular impingement (FAI), is a common condition that affects the hip joint. It occurs when there is abnormal contact between the ball-shaped head of the femur (thigh bone) and the socket-shaped acetabulum (part of the pelvis). This abnormal contact can lead to pain, limited mobility, and the development of hip joint damage over time.
Diagnosing Hip Impingement
Diagnosing hip impingement involves a thorough evaluation of the patient's symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. Our team at Foley James D MD consists of experienced healthcare professionals specializing in hip impingement diagnosis and treatment. We employ advanced diagnostic imaging techniques, such as X-rays, MRI scans, and hip arthroscopy, to accurately identify the specific type and severity of impingement.
Treatment Options for Hip Impingement
At Foley James D MD, we offer a range of comprehensive treatment options for hip impingement to help our patients regain their mobility and alleviate pain. Depending on the individual needs and preferences, treatment may include:
- Conservative Management: In mild cases, conservative approaches such as physical therapy, activity modification, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and corticosteroid injections may be recommended to manage symptoms and improve function.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: In more moderate to severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary. Our skilled surgeons utilize minimally invasive techniques, including hip arthroscopy, to address the impingement and repair any associated joint damage. This approach aims to preserve as much healthy tissue as possible and promote quicker recovery.
- Total Hip Replacement: In some instances where the joint damage is extensive, a total hip replacement surgery may be necessary. This procedure involves replacing both the damaged femoral head and the acetabulum with artificial components, restoring the normal function of the hip joint.
