Hip joint: Femoral acetabulum impingement is fancy doctor speak for hip joint impingement. I assume you are seeing an orthopedic surgeon for difficulty/pain/decreased range of motion in your hip. Anything your doctor says that you don't understand should be quickly resolved. Ask questions, don't be shy. It is your health after all. Be well.

The head of the: Femur is pressed against the socket of your hip bone and there's not adequate space in that joint. Google on line for images of hip joint/ femoral acetabulum impingement. Take care!
