The pincer effect is an infrequent subtype of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). In our experience, cam deformities are more common, easier to treat and have consistent post-operative outcomes than the FAI subtype. morphologies, over-coverage femoral head may occur in a critical area, limiting range motion leading joint damage. Protrusio acetabuli perhaps most severe form with global involvement. these cases, surgical dislocation acetabular rim trimming preferred arthroscopic technique (1).
