A member asked:
When does cam impingement, causing severe pain, require surgery as opposed to physio?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impingement: is when there is diminished SPACE "around" the joint usually due to inflammation of soft tissue (tendons etc) Sometimes this can be REVERSED with therapy or injections...sometimes it requires surgery to enlarge that space! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
