Hip Impingement: Femoral Acetabular Impingement Musings (Compartment Syndrome as well as FAI)

I still can't believe I started writing here about seven years ago, crazy! No one knew who Lavar Ball was...simpler times.

As I've become further removed from both the bilateral fasciotomy (March 2011) and the left hip osteotomy/labral repair for FAI (February 2013, Cam Impingement), I've sometimes wondered about the nature of their relationship, and if certain aspects of my athletics training could have prevented the invasive procedures I chose to undergo.

My musings pretty much begin and end with....the hip hinge movement. I will go into detail in a later post, but just to start those of you off who came here with either chronic exertional compartment syndrome or FAI, here is a link explaining the importance of the hip hinge - .

Until next time, but glad to report that seven years later I am physically the healthiest condition I have ever been in (although a sprained ankle playing basketball has revealed itself to be an avulsion fracture of my navicular bone in my foot...I will get to that at some point!)

In the meantime, feel free to ask any questions about compartment syndrome or FAI surgeries and recovery times, as well as anything else that may be on your mind.

Much love!

She has the right idea (although too much arch in her back - we want to avoid lumbar extensions in this movement)
