Femoro-Acetabular Impingement (FAI) and Labral tear
A mechanical issue caused by a build-up of bone
on the ball and/or socket components of the hip
joint. As the bony prominences become bigger,
the repetitive contact as the hip moves results in
associated labral tears, and damage to the
cartilage, potentially resulting in early-onset
osteoarthritis.
Movement-related hip/groin pain and stiffness
A hip with deep, sharp groin pain, decreased

Irreversible, degenerative changes to the hip
