Abstract
- Objectives: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is a painful disorder of the hip formed by movements in the hip joint between the femoral head-neck junction and the acetabular edge. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of radiological femoroacetabular impingement syndrome findings in a young, asymptomatic Turkish population. Methods: A total of 1000 abdominal pelvic CT images were collected from patients aged between 18-40 years. Measurements were taken on the CT images of the alpha angle and femoral head offset as signs of cam-type deformity, and of the acetabular version angle and center-edge angle as signs of pincer-type deformity. Results: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome was determined in 2.3% of the individuals. Pincer type deformity was determined in 56.5%, being 83.3% in females and 47.1% in males. The cam-type deformity was present in 43.5% of all cases, being in 16.7% of the females and in 52.9% of the males. No difference was determined between the genders in respect of alpha angle which is >55°. A head-neck offset which is <8 mm was at a higher rate in females (13.3%) than males. An acetabular anteversion angle which is <15° and centre-edge angle which is >40° was more in males than females at a rate of 11% and 25.2% respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the incidence of cam-type deformity in the adult males and the incidence of pincer-type deformity in the adult females were lower in the asymptomatic Turkish population than previously reported in literature.
