Abstract

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) could cause early osteoarthritis in patients. It is important to diagnosis this condition in the early stages to avoid osteoarthritis. The radiological x-ray is one of the main methods to diagnosis FAI. There are many radiological signs which help orthopedic surgeons to diagnosis FAI in the pelvic x-ray. Recent studies revealed many new signs for diagnosis and in the present concept article, we try to review all the radiological signs of the FAI in the pelvic and hip x-ray.
