Can you see hip impingement on MRI?
An x-ray or MRI may show bone abnormalities that are indicative of hip impingement but, for reasons that are not well understood, those changes do not cause impingement during movement. So it is possible for medical images to show signs of hip impingement even though the patient’s hip pain is caused by another problem.

Does hip MRI show pelvis?
Often, an MRI will be targeted to a particular area of the body. If your hips are the area in question, a pelvic MRI will be performed.

What does FAI pain feel like?
FAI usually feels like a sharp pain deep in the groin area or in the front of the hip. It worsens with athletic activities, or with prolonged sitting. As symptoms progress, the muscles surrounding the hip will fatigue and become very sore.
Can a hip labral tear again after surgery?
Once the labrum has been repaired and all bony impingement has been corrected there is a very small chance that the labrum will re-tear. However, if the labrum is repaired without removing the bony impingement there is a high likelihood that the labrum will tear again.
Can you walk after FAI surgery?
Walking & Crutches: You are allowed to put full weight on your operative leg the day following surgery, but you must use crutches. The crutches will protect the surgical repair of your hip and help to prevent injury during your recovery. You will continue with the use of crutches for 4-6 weeks following surgery.
How do you poop after hip arthroscopy?
If your bowel movements are not regular right after surgery, try to avoid constipation and straining. Drink plenty of water. Your doctor may suggest fibre, a stool softener, or a mild laxative.
