Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) is a common yet overlooked cause of persistent hip pain, especially in active individuals. It occurs when abnormal contact between the femoral head and hip socket damages the cartilage and labrum, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited movement. If untreated, FAI can cause early-onset arthritis. Early diagnosis and timely treatment—ranging from physiotherapy to arthroscopic surgery—can restore mobility and prevent long-term damage.
