FAI (Femoroacetabular impingement) is a condition in which there is an abnormal contact between the femur (thigh bone) and the acetabulum (socket) of the hip joint, leading to pain and discomfort. The treatment for FAI depends on the severity of the condition, the age of the patient, and their activity level.
In most cases, non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, pain medications, and activity modification are recommended. However, if the pain and symptoms persist, surgery may be necessary to address the underlying issue. There are different types of surgical procedures available for FAI, including arthroscopic surgery, open surgery, or a combination of both.
It is important to discuss the treatment options with an orthopedic specialist who can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate course of action for your wife's specific case.
