Cam impingement occurs with hip flexion as the bony prominence of the nonspherical portion of the femoral head (cam lesion) glides under the labrum, engaging the edge of the articular cartilage and resulting in progressive delamination (A → B). Initially, the labrum is relatively preserved, but secondary failure occurs over time.
