In our experience cam deformity in 80% of cases co-exists with relative femoral retroversion (less than 10degrees anteversion). This is exactly the same pattern of bone deformity which children’s Orthopaedic Surgeons see in adolescent Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (SUFE).

Cam Lesion is when the neck/head of femur hypertrophy and the neck and head of the femur is larger than they should be. So they hit the hip or the acetabulum.

A deformity of the ball at the top of the femur (called cam impingement). If the head is not shaped normally, the abnormal part of the head can jam in the socket when the hip is bent. This may occur during activities such as riding a bicycle or tying your shoes. A deformity of the socket (pincer impingement).
A CAM lesion is the formation of extra bone on the head of the femur (ball) resulting in a 'bump'. This extra bone can cause pain as it impinges with the acetabulum (socket) with joint movement.
Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a known cause of groin pain and a condition that can give rise to osteoarthritis of the hip (1). Patients suffering from this condition are mainly young and experience pain when the hip is moved through internal rotation and adduction at 90° of hip flexion.
Currently, the most popular theory for the development of cam-type deformities is that a repetitive injury to the proximal femoral physis occurs during a critical period of development. There is a correlation between a high volume of impact activities during adolescence and the development of cam-type deformities.
A cam deformity is characterized by extra bone formation at the anterolateral head–neck junction resulting in a non-spherical cam-shaped deformity5. It is forced into the acetabulum during flexion and internal rotation of the hip, a process referred to as cam impingement6, 7.
Cam-type morphology occurs when an abnormally shaped femoral head/neck has a region of increased radius forming a bump or ridge (1). During motions of flexion and internal rotation, an increased amount of shear stress is placed on the labral cartilage by the abnormal contact with the enlarged femoral head/neck (2).
FAI is recognized as a leading cause of hip pain in younger adults and may lead to degenerative arthritis of the hip2,7), with an estimated prevalence between 10% and 15%8).
There are three types of FAI: pincer, cam, and combined impingement. Pincer. This type of impingement occurs because extra bone extends out over the normal rim of the acetabulum. The labrum can be crushed under the prominent rim of the acetabulum.
The camshaft's function is to open and close the valves at the top of each cylinder within the engine. Each cylinder has at least two valves – one that draws in a combustible air and fuel mixture that, when ignited, forces the piston downwards in the cylinder.
Causes and Risk Factors The condition appears to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some researchers believe that the risk of FAI is increased by significant athletic activity before a child's bones are mature and that contact sports may make hip impingement worse.
If hip impingement syndrome causes significant pain and symptoms don't improve with nonsurgical treatment or therapeutic injections, our orthopedic surgeons may recommend surgery. They can reshape the bones in the hip joint, so that the round femoral head can rotate smoothly within the socket-shaped acetabulum.
A cam deformity is an eccentricity at the junction between the head of the femur and the neck. The head of the femur should be virtually spherical and should sit on the neck like a lollipop on a (broad) stick: quite symmetrically: if it doesn’t sit symmetrically, the range of hip flexion (knee to chest movement) will be restricted or uncomfortable.
Most typically patients have pain or discomfort sitting in a car for a long time; as the journey goes on, if it is the left hip, lifting the leg to press on the clutch to change gear.
