IntroductionIn the diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), plain radiographs are accepted as the initial imaging method. However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal lateral view, and radiographs can underestimate the asphericity of the head–neck junction. Our research question was if ultrasound has at least the same reliability as X-ray and can be used as an alternative or additional method in the initial imaging of FAI.
