    Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) limits hip motion and can lead to hip pain and osteoarthritis.

  • 2

    Over one third of patients with symptomatic FAI exhibit abnormalities in femoral or acetabular version.

  • 3

    Version abnormalities may influence outcomes following arthroscopic interventions for FAI.

  • 4

    A systematic review identified 43 studies involving 8861 hips that met inclusion criteria for evaluating version abnormalities.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for understanding version and torsional deformities in patients with primary FAI.
