Not all chronic hip pain is due to arthritis. Hip impingement also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), can cause significant pain in the groin during sports activity, as well as during daily routines like getting dressed, climbing stairs, and even sitting comfortably in a chair.
Hip impingement, which tends to occur in active young adults, and especially athletes, is a painful and often unrecognized condition that involves a tear in the labrum. The problem may occur for various reasons, including the way the bones are formed at a young age, causing bone spurs to develop that pinch the labrum and damage the joint cartilage.
In the past, if hip impingement was even identified, open surgery with a long recover was the best course of treatment. Now the condition can be corrected using hip arthroscopy. With two small incisions and a small camera, the surgeon can clearly visualize the hip ball and socket, see exactly where the impingement is, to repair the labral damage and re-contour the hip joint toward normal anatomy. Because it's minimally invasive surgery, there's significantly less pain, minimal scarring and a shorter recover time than with open surgery.
Not all hip impingement patients are best treated arthroscopically. Joint reconstructive surgery may be a better option for those with significant osteoarthrosis.
Sports medicine and hip arthroscopy specialist Tim Greene, MD of Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery Specialists (ONS) discusses hip arthroscopy to repair hip labral tears and to correct hip impingement. http://bit.ly/hzEauB

I wish this guy was in NYC. I have been to 2 drs at the Hospital for Special surgery and both dont have a clue what to do with my case when I have a labral tear and an impingement. They acted like this was so unusual although both claimed they were experts on arthroscopic surgery for these specific issues! Ive been in agony for 3 years. If something doesnt change soon I may have to dive off the Empire state, the pain is excrutiating and unbearable.
