The Link Between Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) and Hip Labral Tears in Athletes
For competitive and recreational athletes alike, hip pain can quietly disrupt performance long before it becomes debilitating.

Hip arthroscopy can be life-changing—helping athletes and active adults get back to the movement, power, and comfort they rely on after treating labral tears, impingement, or other hip injuries.
Groin injuries can sideline even the most disciplined athletes in high-performance sports such as football, hockey, tennis, and beyond.
Groin pain can sideline even the most elite athletes, but getting the right diagnosis is often half the battle.
Sharp groin pain during a sudden stop on the field, or a quick change of direction, can be more than a pulled muscle—it might be an adductor tear.
As an athlete, you sprint, you jump, you lunge-and then suddenly, you feel a sharp snap in your upper thigh or buttock. This isn’t just a pulled muscle-it could be an avulsion injury involving the ischial tuberosity.
Hip tightness or soreness after exercise isn’t always normal-especially if it keeps coming back. What feels like muscle fatigue could be an early sign of hip impingement, a condition that can worsen without proper care.
Persistent hip pain at night may be more than simple soreness—it could be a sign of underlying inflammation. Left unaddressed, it can interfere with sleep, delay recovery, and affect daily activities.
Groin pain is a common complaint among athletes—especially those who participate in high-impact, cutting and pivoting sports like soccer, hockey, football, and basketball. But this type of pain is far more complex than many realize.
The hip is the powerhouse of movement, driving strength and stability in nearly every sport—whether sprinting down the field, pivoting on the court, or driving a golf swing. But when this vital joint is injured, performance suffers.
