Brief Summary

The treatment of femoroacetabular impingement has evolved over the last several years. As the number of arthroscopic hip operations has risen over the last few years, so has the level controversy in regards to the appropriate initial management. There have been many recent advances in clinical diagnosis, advanced imaging techniques, improved indications for surgery and improved arthroscopic techniques which have led to improved clinical outcomes, but the effectiveness of physical therapy remains unknown.

Conditions

Femoroacetabular Impingement

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in sub spine impingement associated with physical therapy

  The investigators plan to prospectively collect data and monitor the outcome of each hip patient. Subjects will complete a number of assessments utilizing iPads with an electronic data collection system. The data will be collected during each visit or done remotely via the internet, at which time the adjusted means from this longitudinal model will be compared.

  Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.

Study Arms (1)

Femoracetabular impingent (FAI)

Subjects will be given a prescription for physical therapy specifically for Femoracetabular impingent (FAI). They will then be followed clinically per the investigator's normal routine and the gold standard.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects will be included if they are 18-65 years old. Patients with hip pain are routinely seen in our clinic. Patients who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be offered the opportunity to participate in the study.

You may qualify if:

• symptoms consistent with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
• a physical exam consistent with FAI
• radiographic measurements consistent with the diagnosis including an anterior pincer lesion and/or a alpha angle greater than 55 degrees

You may not qualify if:

• subjects do not have FAI by physical exam and radiographic parameters
• joint space \<2mm
• have had prior physical therapy for FAI
• have had prior hip surgery.
