Abstract
Here we describe a 28-year-old man with a history of right hip pain for the past 11 years and ankylosing spondylitis for the past 6 months. Imaging studies showed an exostosis in the femoral neck causing femoroacetabular imping- ement. The patient was diagnosed with coxar- throsis. This case report suggests that femoro- acetabular impingement may accelerate the degenerative process in the hip joint.
