IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT FEMOROACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT
The conventional medical theory is that the bad bone shapes lead to labral tears, arthritis, pain, and immobility.
Surgery is supposed to be the only answer.
Recent research on hip impingement undermines that theory.
FAI bone shapes are normal anatomic variants and not indicative of a disease.

- Pincer deformity does not lead to osteoarthritis of the hip whereas acetabular dysplasia does: acetabular coverage and development of osteoarthritis in a nationwide prospective cohort study.
Labral tears and other joint pathologies aren't linked to hip pain
