Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine

* The prevalence of abnormalities of femoral and acetabular versions and tibial torsion in symptomatic (FAI) Syndrome.
* Analyse the subgroups of specific hip pathomorphologies associated with rotational abnormalities of lower limb (LL).
* Which specific hip subtypes of (FAI) are associated with rotational abnormalities,
* Outcomes of arthroscopic treatment of (FAI) syndrome in patients with rotational abnormalities compared with a control group of patients with normal rotation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is characterised by an abnormal contact between the acetabulum and the femur, limiting range of motion and leading to hip pain and disability.

(FAI) can be classified into three categories according to the specific pathomorphology involved. Cam type (FAI) represents asphericity of the femoral head due to abnormal morphology at the head neck junction. Pincer-type (FAI) on the other hand, occurs due to over-coverage of the femoral head by the acetabulum and premature contact between the acetabulum and femoral neck. Some patients may present with both of these abnormalities, known as mixed-typed (FAI).

There is an interest in the role of acetabular and femoral versions and tibial torsion in (FAI). Lerch et al. found that 68% of 538 hips presenting with (FAI) or dysplasia showed abnormal femoral and/or acetabular versions. A more recent study by Lerch et al. also found abnormal tibial torsion in 42% of patients with (FAI) and dysplasia. It has been further speculated that excessive femoral anteversion or femoral retroversion may also play a role in the pathogenesis and treatment of (FAI). Excessive femoral retroversion has been considered by some to be a relative contraindication to corrective (FAI) surgery, as it has been found to be a risk factor for poor outcomes after hip arthroscopy for (FAI). Similarly, increased femoral version is a risk factor for inferior clinical outcomes after hip arthroscopy. Abnormalities of femoral version and tibial torsion were associated with anterior knee pain, knee osteoarthritis, and patellar instability. But the influence of combined abnormalities of femoral version and tibial torsion (combined torsional malalignment) for patients with hip pain is unknown.

So, investigator hypothesized that patients with symptomatic (FAI) display significant rotation abnormalities of the acetabulum or femur and tibial and that the rotational abnormalities would portend an inferior prognosis when compared with a pair-matched control group of patients with normal range of lower limb rotation and patients with significant rotational abnormalities would have differing intraoperative hip pathology.
