Historical Overview of Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI)
The history of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) reveals notable developments that have shaped its diagnosis and treatment. From 2003, when it was established that FAI detected on imaging could lead to osteoarthritis, surgical techniques advanced significantly, allowing for better visualization of bony abnormalities. An increase in surgeries for FAI occurred, with surgeons feeling compelled to intervene as soon as they identified CAM or pincer lesions. However, as outcomes varied, a critical reflection began around 2013, ultimately leading the medical community to reconsider the necessity and effectiveness of these surgical interventions.
