New treatment option for Femoroacetabular Impingement
Official title Biomechanical Investigation of Symptomatic FAI and Two Groups of Asymptomatic Controls
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06272292
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is an orthopaedic condition that is primarily characterized by the presence of anatomic bony abnormalities in the femoral head and/or the acetabulum resulting in an abnormal contact between the two during hip motion, especially in positions of increased hip flexion and rotation, ultimately leading to hip pain. Unfortunately, a FAI diagnosis is frequently only made once symptoms have become severe to an extent that they limit everyday life activities.
