Diagnostic and prognostic potential of biomarkers in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Early diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is essential. This systematic review aimed to identify biomarkers useful for diagnosing FAIS and predicting its progression to hip osteoarthritis. Our hypothesis was that there are biomarkers that are useful for the diagnosis and/or prognosis of FAIS. Our research questions were: (1) which biomarkers support diagnosis or screening of FAIS? and (2) which biomarkers predict disease progression?

Methods

A systematic review using the PRISMA guidelines was conducted to investigate the relationship between biomarkers and FAIS. The diagnosis of FAIS was based on the criteria used in each original study, typically involving clinical symptoms and radiographic evidence of CAM or pincer morphology. The protocol for
