    Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (SIFFH) is a rare cause of acute hip pain, often misdiagnosed as osteonecrosis.

  • 2

    MRI is crucial for diagnosing SIFFH, revealing distinct patterns that differentiate it from other hip pathologies.

  • 3

    SIFFH can progress to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis, necessitating surgical intervention in many cases.

  • 4

    Hip arthroscopy allows for the assessment and treatment of SIFFH, including internal fixation of associated osteochondral lesions.

  • 5

    The study reviewed 623 hip arthroscopic surgeries, identifying nine patients with precollapse SIFFH treated with HA/PLLA pins and labral repair.
