Mechanisms of femoroacetabular impingement. Pincertype FAI occurs due to acetabular retroversion, leading to labral and acetabular damage at the anterior rim (B; shaded area). Cam-type FAI results from a prominent head-neck junction, leading to chondral damage within the anterosuperior acetabulum (C; shaded area).
