Hip Morphology Characterization

---

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is the result of a mechanical conflict in the hip joint, and its diagnosis is based on clinical and radiological parameters. To our knowledge, there are no published studies describing the radiologic characteristics of FAI in Latin American populations.
Purpose: To describe the radiological features associated with FAI in an asymptomatic Chilean population.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
Methods: We prospectively recruited asymptomatic patients with no history or symptoms of hip pathology who underwent
abdomen-pelvis computed tomography (CT) for a nonorthopaedic indication. The acetabular and femoral parameters related to FAI were measured.
Results: We studied 101 subjects (202 hips) with a mean age of 36.8 ± 14.4 years. The mean center-edge angle was 39.4 ± 7.2. The crossover sign was present in 34 cases (33.7%). The mean alpha angle was 49.7 ± 8.3. Depending on the cut points chosen for FAI-related parameters, between 39.6% and 69.3% of an asymptomatic Chilean population were found to have morphological features related to FAI.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the proposed pathological threshold values in the literature cannot be extrapolated to a Chilean population, and this must be taken into consideration when evaluating Latin American patients with hip pain.
