HINZPETER-COHEN, J et al. Extraarticular hip impingement: Case report. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.1, pp.46-48. ISSN 2306-4102.

Femoroacetabular impingement is the mechanical contact between the femur and the pelvis, frequently between the femur neck and the acetabular rim, whether due to a deformity of the former (cam type) or the latter (pincer type).^1,2 However, there may be extraarticular causes of impingement.^3,4 Together with the increased diagnosis of impingement, arthroscopic treatment is increasingly frequent and has become the standard treatment.⁵ This report analyzes a case of extraarticular hip impingement caused by contact between the femur and a prominent anteroinferior iliac spine (AIIS), probably due to a healed old avulsion and its later arthroscopic management.
