Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) is a hip condition caused by abnormal contact between the femur (thigh bone) and the acetabulum (part of the pelvis). This friction can lead to symptoms such as hip or groin pain, which may radiate to the back, buttocks, or thigh. Common signs of FAI include clicking, locking, stiffness, or a limited range of motion. Many individuals experience pinching sensations during movements such as deep squats, deadlifts, yoga poses, prolonged sitting, or other sporting

The gear stick sign evaluates for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. The patient is lying in the lateral decubitus position with the affected hip on top.

The test is considered positive when this maneuver reproduces the patient’s typical symptoms. Diagnostic accuracy is unknown! 🔗👇 Link Below 👇🔗 -- Read: https://wikism.org/Gear_Stick_Sign -- Wat
