The clinical presentation of individuals with femoral acetabular impingement and labral tears: A narrative review of the evidence

Abstract

Femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) has emerged as one of the more commonly recognized intraarticular hip pathologies and is often accompanied with a labral tear. The understanding of the clinical characteristics of individuals with symptomatic FAI has evolved over the past several years due to emerging research. As research progresses, there is often a gap in translating the current evidence to clinical practice. This manuscript presents the latest evidence underpinning the clinical presentation of FAI and labral tears. Evidence is presented within the context of bridging the latest research and clinical practice.
