  • In cam-type lesion, the non-spherical, bumped anterosuperior femoral head-neck junction pressurized and squeezed the cartilage adjacent to the acetabular labrum repetitively during deep hip flexion. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In comparison, earlier hip pain could be noticed in pincer-type FAI because the labrum lesions resulted from the impingement of a retroverted or overcovered acetabular margin against the femoral neck are often antecedent and more dominant [ 7 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
