FAI occurs when there is abnormal contact between the hip socket and the femoral head, leading to pain and limited mobility. This condition is often seen in young adults and can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Left untreated, FAI can lead to osteoarthritis and other chronic hip problems.
Diagnosing FAI involves a thorough physical examination, medical history review, and advanced imaging techniques like MRI or X-rays, which Dr. Tejani utilizes to accurately assess the condition.
