BACKGROUND: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is one of the main causes of hip pain, and there is a lack of research in the field of rehabilitation for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome in China. OBJECTIVE: To present the research trends and research hotspots in the field of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome rehabilitation based on the Web of Science and Citespace software in the form of scientific data combined with atlas and to analyze research prospects and propose future research directions. METHODS: Keywords regarding femoroacetabular impingement syndrome rehabilitation from 2012 to 2021 were searched in the Web of Science Core Collection, and the results were bibliometrically analyzed. Citespace software was then used to conduct visually analyze countries, institutions, authors, journals, keywords and co-cited references. Finally, research trends and hotspots in the past 10 years were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome rehabilitation has gradually attracted the attention of scholars and the number of publications and citations has increased yearly, with the United States taking the lead. Chinese scholars have published fewer papers in this field and only have cooperative relations with Australian and American scholars. China’s influence in this field needs to be improved. Keyword and literature co-citation burst analyses indicate that the research trends are gait function in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, clinical efficacy of non-surgical treatment/conservative treatment/physiotherapy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, and the efficacy of hip arthroscopy vs. non-surgical treatment. The high-frequency co-citations, high centrality and cluster analyses indicate that the research hotspots in this field are exploring the diagnosis of pain due to femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, the short-, medium-, and long-term clinical effects of non-surgical treatment vs. hip arthroscopy, the rehabilitation effect of physiotherapy, the applicability of self-report scales, the rehabilitation scheme of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome with cartilage injury or glenoid lip injury and paying attention to their rehabilitation process, preventing femoroacetabular impingement syndrome from progressing to osteoarthritis. Based on the analysis of relevant literature in the past 10 years, this review details the future research directions in this field, including explorations on the clinical efficacy of non-surgical/surgical treatment, the middle- and long-term efficacy of non-surgical treatment vs. surgical treatment, the concurrent loss of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, and randomized controlled trials on the prognosis and rehabilitation of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.
