https://www.selleckchem.com/products/AG-490.html To investigate acetabular cartilage thickness among (1) 8 measurement locations on the lunate surface and (2) different types of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Prospective descriptive study comparing measured acetabular cartilage thickness using a validated ultrasonic device during surgical hip dislocation in 50 hips. Measurement locations included the anterior/posterior horn and 3 locations on each peripheral and central aspect of the acetabulum. The clock system was used for orientation. Thickness was compared among cam (11 hips), pincer (8 hips), and mixed-type (31 hips) of FAI. Mean age was 31 ± 8 (range, 18-49) years. Hips with no degenerative changes were included (Tönnis stage = 0). Acetabular cartilage thickness ranged from 1.7 mm to 2.7 mm and differed among the 8 locations ( < 0.001). Thicker cartilage was found on the peripheral aspect at 11 and 1 o'clock positions (mean of 2.4 mm and 2.7 mm, respectively). At 5 out of 8 locations of measurement (anterior and posterior horn, 1 o'clock peripheral, 12 and 2 o'clock central), cartilage thickness was thinner in hips with pincer impingement compared to cam and/or mixed-type of FAI ( ranging from <0.001 to 0.031). No difference in thickness existed between cam and mixed-type of impingement ( = 0.751). Acetabular cartilage thickness varied topographically and among FAI types. This study provides first baseline information about topographical cartilage thickness in FAI measured . Thinner cartilage thickness in pincer deformities could be misinterpreted as joint degeneration and could therefore have an impact on indication for hip preserving surgery. Acetabular cartilage thickness varied topographically and among FAI types. This study provides first baseline information about topographical cartilage thickness in FAI measured in vivo. Thinner cartilage thickness in pincer deformities could be misinterpreted as joint degeneration and could therefore have an impac
