Introduction FAI The concept of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been recognized as a source of hip pain since the early 1990s. 1 The actual term was coined by Ganz et al in 2003. 2 It is a dynamic conflict that occurs

joints are the most affected: the knee (70%), hip (15%) and then the ankle, shoulder and elbow. PVNS in the hip mainly occurs between the second and third decade. The youngest reported case was of a seven-year-old, 4 and the oldest, 78 years. 5

Introduction The concept of impingement is not a new one and can be found in orthopaedic textbooks predating 1900. Interest in hip impingement increased considerably after hip arthroscopy was accepted as a feasible treatment possibility

Introduction Hip fractures are common orthopaedic injuries with an estimated 60 000 to 75 000 cases each year in the United Kingdom, at an estimated annual cost of £2 billion to the NHS. This cost is growing due to the increase in the ageing

Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the most successful procedure used to treat end-stage degenerative conditions of the hip. Over 156.6 THAs per 100 000 population are performed each year in Europe, and the demand for primary THA is

Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure for primary osteoarthritis but increasing numbers are also being performed for other pathologies such as secondary arthritis, inflammatory arthropathies and trauma. Estimates

Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is widely considered to be one of the most successful surgical procedures in orthopaedics. It is associated with high satisfaction rates and significant improvement in quality of life following surgery

Introduction The burden of fragility fractures is on the rise due to the rapid increase in the ageing population. 1 – 4 Approximately 1.6 million hip fracture cases are reported worldwide each year and the number is projected to climb to

fractures around a hip arthroplasty (THA) represent the most common periprosthetic fractures. Their contemporary management is mostly surgical and is considered technically challenging. Effective management of these injuries requires both trauma and
