Description: Research over the last 10 years has suggested that small abnormalities in the shape of both the femoral head and the acetabulum can result in damage to the articular cartilage to the hip and the labrum. This has been called hip impingement or femoro-acetabular impingement(FAI) and there are two main forms - Cam type & Pincer type impingement
