In Vivo Pelvic and Hip Joint Kinematics in Patients With Cam Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Dual Fluoroscopy Study.

ABSTRACT: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) may alter the kinematic function of the hip, resulting in pain and tissue damage. Previous motion analysis studies of FAIS have employed skin markers, which are prone to soft tissue artifact and inaccurate calculation of the hip joint center. This may explain why the evidence linking FAIS with deleterious kinematics is contradictory. The purpose of this study was to employ dual fluoroscopy (DF) to quantify in vivo kinematics of patients with cam FAIS relative to asymptomatic, morphologically normal control participants during various activities. Eleven asymptomatic, morphologically normal controls and seven patients with cam FAIS were imaged with DF during standing, level walking, incline walking, and functional range of motion activities.
