Comparing acetabular anteversion in patients with femoro-acetabular impingement and healthy volunteers
Single-center Comparative Study of Variation in Acetabular Anteversion According to Pelvic Tilt in Patients With Femoro-acetabular Impingement and Healthy Volunteers.
This study is testing how the angle of the hip socket differs between people with hip pain from femoro-acetabular impingement and healthy individuals in various positions.

What this trial studies
This study aims to compare acetabular anteversion measurements in patients with symptomatic femoro-acetabular impingement (DWI) and healthy volunteers across different pelvic positions. Participants will undergo cross-sectional imaging and 3D reconstruction to assess acetabular anteversion in standing, sitting, and maximum hip flexion positions. The study will include a preoperative workup for symptomatic patients, including X-rays and CT scans, while healthy volunteers will also undergo similar imaging for comparative analysis. This is the first study to provide reference values for acetabular anteversion in a control population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals aged 18 to 50 with a confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic femoro-acetabular impingement who are scheduled for arthroscopic surgery.
Not a fit: Patients who have previously undergone surgery on the same hip or have other significant medical conditions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the understanding of acetabular anteversion in patients with femoro-acetabular impingement, potentially leading to better surgical outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While this specific approach has not been tested before, similar studies in related fields have shown promising results.
