Advances in FAI Imaging: a Focused Review
Mascarenhas, V; Caetano, A; Dantas, P; Rego, PPurpose of review: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is one of the main causes of hip pain in young adults and poses clinical challenges which have placed it at the forefront of imaging and orthopedics. Diagnostic hip imaging has dramatically changed in the past years, with the arrival of new imaging techniques and the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This article reviews the current state-of-t...
Cam deformity and the omega angle, a novel quantitative measurement of femoral ...
Mascarenhas, VV; Rego, P; Dantas, P; Gaspar, A; Soldado, F; Consciência, JGOBJECTIVE: Our objectives were to use 3D computed tomography (CT) to define head-neck morphologic gender-specific and normative parameters in asymptomatic individuals and use the omega angle (Ω°) to provide quantification data on the location and radial extension of a cam deformity. METHODS: We prospectively included 350 individuals and evaluated 188 asymptomatic hips that underwent semiautomated CT analysis. D...
