Understanding Hip Impingement (Femoroacetabular Impingement)
Hip Impingement occurs when abnormal bone growth on the femoral head or acetabulum causes painful friction during hip movement, damaging cartilage and the labrum. This condition affects many young and middle-aged adults across Los Angeles County and, if untreated, can accelerate hip arthritis.
Symptoms often include:
- Deep groin or front hip pain, worsened by activity
- Reduced hip motion, particularly flexion and internal rotation
- Clicking, locking, or catching sensations in the joint
- Pain after prolonged sitting or physical exertion
Early treatment is key to preventing long-term joint damage.
