SANCHEZ RECHE, Ana María; SANCHEZ GARCIA, Marta; MOHINO LAGUNA, Estrella Cristina and DELGADO CASADO, José Andrés. FAI, disabling disease at the age of 40. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.3, pp.162-165. Epub Oct 01, 2019. ISSN 2386-8201.
The femoroacetabular impingement is a pathology that can cause early degenerative osteoarthritis in young patients.It involves a morphological anomaly in the acetabulum (PINCER-type FAI), in the femur (CAM-type FAI), or in both (mixed-type FAI). A young patient who consults repeatedly for limited mobility, for inguinal pain with hip rotation while sitting, and during or after physical exercise,and/or trochanteric pain with radiation to the outside of the thigh, must alert the Family doctor. A good anamnesis and a correct physical exploration guide the diagnosis, together with simple radiology. Therefore it is important to recognize it in everyday clinical practice for early hospital referralin order to begin the etiological study and a suitable treatment.
