Provides standardized guidance for FAI evaluation and treatment in athletes; extends prior consensus with athlete-specific multidisciplinary recommendations.
Background. Femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) is an important topic in literature because of its strong relationship with sport populations. Methods. Sixty-five experts participated in “this Consensus Conference (CC)”. They discussed, voted and approved a consensus document on the FAI syndrome in athletes. Results. The CC experts approved document provided suggestions concerning: 1) Epidemiology of FAI; 2) Clinical evaluation; 3) Radiological evaluation; 4) Conservative treatment; 5) Surgical criteria; 6) Surgical techniques; 7) Post-surgical rehabilitation; 8) Outcome evaluation; 9) FAI-associated clinical frameworks. Conclusions. The CC offers a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of FAI syndrome in athletes taking into account all the different steps needed to approach this pathology in sport populations.
