Abstract
There is a growing understanding of the relation between femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and injury to adjacent structures. Patients with proximal hamstring pathology appear to have a high prevalence of underlying FAI. The kinetic chain phenomenon is a potential explanation of the high correlation between proximal hamstring injury and underlying FAI of the hip.
