Brief Summary:
One of the leading causes of hip arthritis is femoro-acetabular impingement which means the hip joint is deformed such that the hip joint jams in the front when the hip is bent all the way forward. This can lead to significant damage to the hip joint and may result in the need for a total hip replacement. However, if detected early, this deformity can be treated surgically by reshaping the hip joint. If the hip joint could be better visualized before surgery, then surgeons would be able to develop less invasive surgical techniques to correct this deformity.
Detailed Description:
In this study, we are trying to develop a way to help surgeons visualize the hip joint before surgery in order to assist with pre-operative planning. This will be done by comparing the dynamic hip images in patients with femoroacetabular impingement to the hip images of healthy volunteers with no hip problems.
