That is background.

Let's go on now to the subject

0:03

of femoral acetabular impingement.

0:06

As you know, this has been described in two particular

0:10

types, a femoral cause, and I list that here,

0:14

or an acetabular cause.

0:16

Although the two may co-exist.

0:18

The femoral cause

0:20

of femoral acetabular impingement is seen in a younger

0:24

population, often active persons involved in athletics

0:29

and some of the terms that have been applied to it.

0:31

And we'll go through these individually in a while.

0:35

Cam impingement, pistol grip deformity,

0:39

femoral waste deficiency.

0:41

The other type is an acetabular cause

0:44

for femoral acetabular impingement.

0:46

The age group's typically different,

0:49

seen more commonly in women,

0:50

especially in middle aged women.

0:52

This is called pincer type femoral acetabular impingement.

0:57

And some of the terms that are used that describe this

1:00

and we'll go through are acetabular protrusion

1:03

and acetabular retroversion.
