Editorial Commentary: Looking Past the Hip Joint-The Role of Pelvic Incidence in Femoroacetabular Impingement

Abstract

In a retrospective comparative study, pelvic incidence was significantly less in patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), with a significant difference in FAI subgroups compared with asymptomatic volunteers. This finding may help to explain the existence of asymptomatic FAI morphology and highlight the importance of thorough assessment of the patient with hip pain.
