IASR Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Science (IJMPS) ; Volume: 1; Issue: 2; Pages: 08-12|| Sep-Oct 2021|| | P age-8 INTRODUCTION Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition which occurs due to abnormal contact between the acetabular rim and proximal head of the femur ,which produces symptoms like hip and groin pain during mobility and causes intra- articular damages. Abnormal anatomy at the hip leads to altered mechanics and abnormal loading of the hip joint. The etiology of FAI is mostly idiopathic, but several factors contribute to the etiology of FAI [1] and some of the causes are due to repeated sporting activities causes recurrent impingement by the abnormal structure which leads to acetabular labral tears and damage to particular cartilage, resulting in osteoarthritis of the hip joint. [2] [3] FAI is more common in sports which involves the end range of movements of hip flexion, adduction, and internal rotation.

The purpose of this case report is to present a kickboxing player with pincer type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with acetabular labrum tear followed by repetitive overuse and its conservative managements. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 22 years old male , recreational kickboxing player complains of onset of sharp pain in the anterior right hip, groin and gluteal region for the past 2 months, when at rest and also during activities like prolonged sitting ,climbing stairs and running . Pain gets provoked after sport activities ,and restricted flexion ROM with a click sound . DIAGNOSIS AND INTERVENTIONS: After investigation with clinical features ,history and physical examination the patient is diagnosed with pincer type femoroacetabular impingement in the right hip,and the patient is conservatively treated with manual therapy like mobilization technique and rehabilitation. Focused on Outcome measure ihot33 OUTCOME Clinically important improvements were seen on all self-reported outcome measures International Hip Outcome Tool – 33, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Patient Specific Functional Scale, and Global Rating of Change and visual analog scale to measure the intensity of pain. CONCLUSION In femoroacetabular impingement altered hip joint mechanics and repeated over use can exacerbate or contribute to acquired and congenital forms of symptomatic FAI and can be conservatively managed. So, practitioners managing this population should address sport-specific demands in manual therapy, rehabilitation and physical training, to enhance practical outcomes and therefore can prevent future injury..
