Abstrakt: This study was performed to establish whether the "cam" impinging femur has a single deformity of the head-neck junction or multiple abnormalities. Average dimensions (anteversion angle, α angle of Notzli, β angle of Beaulé, normalized anterior head offset) were compared between normal and impinging femora. The results demonstrated that impinging femora had wider necks, larger heads, and decreased head-neck ratios. There was no difference in neck-shaft angle or anteversion angle. Forty-six percent of impinging femora had significant posterior head displacement (>2mm), which averaged 1.93 mm for the cam impinging group, and 0.78 mm for the normal group. In conclusion, surgical treatment limited to localized recontouring of the head-neck profile may fail to address significant components of the underlying abnormality.
