This cluster of papers focuses on femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, a condition where abnormal hip morphology leads to damage of the acetabular cartilage and labrum, potentially causing osteoarthritis. The papers cover topics such as radiographic diagnosis, surgical techniques, outcomes following hip arthroscopy, and the influence of hip morphology on joint mechanics.
