We report the case of symptomatic extra-articular subspinal impingement in the hip joint caused by a pathological contact between the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and the femoral neck. A 28-year-old patient presented with activity-related inguinal pain on the right side and a positive anterior impingement test in the clinical examination. Radiological examinations revealed a hypertrophic AIIS with caudal extension below the acetabulum. After a positive injection test confirmed the AIIS as the origin of the pain, arthroscopic correction with partial resection of the AIIS was performed resulting in significant pain relief and improved range of motion.
