Validation of a method to measure three-dimensional hip joint kinematics in subjects with femoroacetabular impingement.

CONCLUSIONS: This 3D to 2D registration method may offer a clinically useful solution for dynamic assessment of hip impingement. If 5-mm translation and 10° of rotation represent a clinically significant difference in hip kinematics, the method's accuracy of approximately 1 mm displacement and 1° rotation should enable detection of significant clinical differences.
