Abstract
AIMS Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) patients report exacerbation of hip pain in deep flexion. However, the exact impingement location in deep flexion is unknown. The aim was to investigate impingement-free maximal flexion, impingement location, and if cam deformity causes hip impingement in flexion in FAI patients. METHODS A retrospective study involving 24 patients (37 hips) with FAI and femoral retroversion (femoral version (FV) < 5° per Murphy method) was performed. All patients were symptomatic (mean age 28 years (SD 9)) and had anterior hip/groin pain and a positive anterior impingement test. Cam- and pincer-type subgroups were analyzed. Patients were compared to an asymptomatic control group (26 hips). All patients underwent pelvic CT scans to generate personalized CT-based 3D models and validated software for patient-specific impingement simulation (equidistant method). RESULTS Mean impingement-free flexion of patients with mixed-type FAI (110° (SD 8°)) and patients with pincer-type FAI (112° (SD 8°)) was significantly (p < 0.001) lower compared to the control group (125° (SD 13°)). The frequency of extra-articular subspine impingement was significantly (p < 0.001) increased in patients with pincer-type FAI (57%) compared to cam-type FAI (22%) in 125° flexion. Bony impingement in maximal flexion was located anterior-inferior at femoral four and five o'clock position in patients with cam-type FAI (63% (10 of 16 hips) and 37% (6 of 10 hips)), and did not involve the cam deformity. The cam deformity did not cause impingement in maximal flexion. CONCLUSION Femoral impingement in maximal flexion was located anterior-inferior distal to the cam deformity. This differs to previous studies, a finding which could be important for FAI patients in order to avoid exacerbation of hip pain in deep flexion (e.g. during squats) and for hip arthroscopy (hip-preservation surgery) for planning of bone resection. Hip impingement in flexion has implications for daily activities (e.g. putting on shoes), sports, and sex.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2023;12(1):22-32.

Abstract
Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) can affect any organ of the gastrointestinal tract, and as a result of its unspecific symptoms, it may even mimic neoplasia. Rare manifestations are difficult to detect even for the trained eye and require clinical suspicion. We report rare cases of a mechanical ileus due to peritoneal TB in a 41-year-old man and an isolated peripancreatic infection in a 54-year-old woman. While in one patient, suspected malignancy led to diagnostic laparoscopy, it led to a total pancreatectomy with splenectomy in the other case. However, both times histology ruled out malignancy and showed unexpected similarities with TB. The patients responded well to medical treatment, although one patient is struggling with pancreatogenic diabetes.
