What is FAI hip impingement?

What is FAI hip impingement?

Hip impingement, or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), occurs when the femoral head (ball of the hip) pinches up against the acetabulum (cup of the hip). When this happens, damage to the labrum (cartilage that surrounds the acetabulum) can occur, causing hip stiffness and pain, and can lead to arthritis.

Is Fai the same as hip impingement?

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), also called hip impingement, is a condition where the hip joint is not shaped normally. This causes the bones to painfully rub together.

What is the ICD 10 code for hip impingement?

Other specific joint derangements of right hip, not elsewhere classified. M24. 851 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

What is the Femoroacetabular joint?

The femoroacetabular joint is a ball and socket joint that joins the femoral head to the acetabulum. The ball and socket articulation allows for a high degree of mobility. In comparison to the shoulder joint it permits less range of movement due to the increased depth and contact area, but displays far more stability.

What causes FAI?

FAI is caused by deformities in the femur, hip socket or a combination of both. The condition may begin at birth (congenital) or may develop as a child grows (acquired). The condition appears to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

What is a pincer impingement?

Pincer impingement involves excessive coverage of the femoral head by the acetabulum. With hip flexion motion, the neck of the femur bone “bumps” or impinges on the rim of the deep socket. This results in cartilage and labral damage.

How do you fai?

FAI occurs because the hip bones do not form normally during the childhood growing years. It is the deformity of a cam bone spur, pincer bone spur, or both, that leads to joint damage and pain. When the hip bones are shaped abnormally, there is little that can be done to prevent FAI.

What is the ICD 10 code for hip pain unspecified?

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M25. 559: Pain in unspecified hip.

What does cam lesion stand for?

A CAM lesion is the formation of extra bone on the head of the femur (ball) resulting in a ‘bump’. This extra bone can cause pain as it impinges with the acetabulum (socket) with joint movement.

What does a hip impingement feel like?

What does a hip impingement feel like? The top sensations of hip impingement are stiffness in the groin, pain in the front of the thigh or down the buttocks, popping or clicking in the front of the hip as you move, and/or a loss of your hip’s full range of motion.
