RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Individuals with acetabular dysplasia often report hip joint instability, pain, and poor hip-related function. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a surgical procedure that aims to reposition the acetabulum to improve joint congruency and improve pain and function. We aimed to examine the influence of presurgery clinical measures on functional recovery following PAO and the associations among clinical outcomes after PAO. METHODS: We screened 49 potential participants, 28 were enrolled, and 23 completed both study visits (pre-PAO and 6 months post-PAO). We evaluated dynamometer-measured hip and thigh strength, loading patterns during a squat and countermovement jump (CMJ), pain intensity, and device-measured physical activity (PA) levels (light, moderate-to-vigorous PA [MVPA], and daily steps). We used linear regression models to examine the influence of muscle strength (peak torque; limb symmetry index [LSI]) and loading patterns before PAO on pain intensity and PA levels in individuals 6 months following PAO. Additionally, we used Pearson correlation coefficient to examine cross-sectional associations among all variables 6 months following PAO. RESULTS: Lower extremity muscle strength and loading patterns during the squat and CMJ before PAO did not predict pain intensity or device-measured PA levels in individuals 6 months following PAO (p > 0.05). Six months following PAO, higher knee extensor LSI was associated with higher time spent in MVPA (r = 0.56; p = 0.016), higher hip abductor LSI was associated with both lower pain (r = 0.50; p = 0.036) and higher involved limb loading during the squat task (r = 0.59; p = 0.010). Lastly, higher hip flexor LSI was associated with higher CMJ takeoff involved limb loading (r = 0.52; p = 0.021) and higher involved hip extensor strength was associated with higher CMJ landing involved limb loading (r = 0.56; p = 0.012). CONCLUSION: Six months after PAO, higher hip and thigh muscle strength and strength symmetry were associated with lower pain, higher PA levels, and greater normalized limb loading during dynamic movement tasks.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used in the classification and evaluation of osteoarthritis (OA). Many studies have focused on knee OA, investigating the association between MRI-detected knee structural abnormalities and knee pain. Hip OA differs from knee OA in many aspects, but little is known about the role of hip structural abnormalities in hip pain. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the association of hip abnormalities on MRI, such as cartilage defects, bone marrow lesions (BMLs), osteophytes, paralabral cysts, effusion-synovitis, and subchondral cysts, with hip pain. We searched electronic databases from inception to February 2024, to identify publications that reported data on the association between MRI features in the hip joint and hip pain. The quality of the included studies was scored using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The levels of evidence were evaluated according to the Cochrane Back Review Group Method Guidelines and classified into five levels: strong, moderate, limited, conflicting, and no evidence. A total of nine studies were included, comprising five cohort studies, three cross-sectional studies, and one case-control study. Moderate level of evidence suggested a positive association of the presence and change of BMLs with the severity and progress of hip pain, and evidence for the associations between other MRI features and hip pain were limited or even conflicting. Only a few studies with small to modest sample sizes evaluated the association between hip structural changes on MRI and hip pain. BMLs may contribute to the severity and progression of hip pain. Further studies are warranted to uncover the role of hip MRI abnormalities in hip pain. The protocol for the systematic review was registered with PROSPERO ( https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/ , CRD42023401233).
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Iliacus muscle abscess is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition that can present with nonspecific symptoms, posing diagnostic challenges. This case report highlights the importance of considering iliopsoas abscess in patients presenting with fever and hip pain, especially in the absence of obvious risk factors or penetrating trauma. The novelty of this case lies in its atypical presentation mimicking a respiratory viral infection and musculoskeletal injury, impeding accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. CASE PRESENTATION: A previously healthy 21-year-old female who had a mechanical fall 3 weeks prior presented with fever, right hip pain, and respiratory symptoms, initially suggestive of a respiratory infection and musculoskeletal injury. However, initial investigations revealing a markedly high C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration prompted further computed tomography (CT) imaging of her abdomen and pelvis, which uncovered an iliopsoas abscess presumably stemming from antecedent trauma. Subsequent CT guided aspiration along with culture-sensitive antibiotics led to successful treatment and resolution of her symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: This case emphasizes the importance of considering iliopsoas abscess as a possible differential, even in young patients without typical risk factors. Markedly elevated inflammatory markers such as CRP concentrations can serve as a vital indicator, directing attention towards the possibility of septicemia or the presence of an occult abscess, facilitating prompt imaging and accurate diagnosis.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) is a multifactorial clinical condition affecting the lateral area of the hip. Although conservative treatment shows good results, some patients may still require surgical bursectomy, which can be performed either openly or endoscopically. One of the main technical difficulties of the endoscopic procedure is intraoperative bleeding, which can hinder the medical team's vision and increase the operation time for endoscopic treatment of GTPS. HYPOTHESIS: An instillation of vasoconstrictors and local anesthetics before endoscopy will cause less intraoperative bleeding, which will translate into shorter surgical time. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective cohort was retrospectively divided based on the use or absence of a preoperative instillation of physiological saline solution with epinephrine and lidocaine. Surgical time was measured in each procedure and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: 139 hips from 139 patients were included in the analysis. 102 patients were included in the instillation group versus 37 in the control group. The surgical time was significantly shorter in the instillation group than in the control group, with an average (standard deviation) of 52.01 (14.71) and 72.30 (11.70) minutes, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The instillation of a physiological saline solution with epinephrine and lidocaine prior to the surgical treatment of GTPS is effective in reducing surgical times, likely due to a reduction in intraoperative bleeding. Future research should focus on more direct outcomes such as intraoperative blood loss and between different instillation protocols.
RESUMO
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that is endemic in Saudi Arabia. It is transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected animals or by consuming unpasteurized dairy products. A 36-year-old Saudi man presented with left hip pain, fever, and a history of consuming unpasteurized milk. Sacroiliitis was documented by positive results from serological tests (ELISA) and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment consisted of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), doxycycline, rifampicin, and IV gentamicin.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Obturator hernias are rare, occur mainly in slender people and predominantly in females. Underlying pathology of the obturator hernia is a weakening of the obturator membrane. The obturator hernia is situated between the pubic and ischial bones and is therefore clinically occult. Patients predominantly present with symptoms of bowel obstruction, but can also present with sensory disturbance, leg pain and hip pain. Due to the usually delayed diagnosis, the obturator hernia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old female patient with hip pain underwent a protracted diagnostic work-up and was referred to the surgical department by the treating orthopedic surgeon. An incarcerated obturator hernia with a fistula in the adductor ligament was finally diagnosed via CT. The operation included laparoscopic reduction, hernia repair, open small bowel segment resection, local surgical exploration, lavage and antibiotic treatment. The primary hernia repair was performed by direct suture due to the contamination, and a post-primary mesh repair was indicated. However, after complete recovery and no remaining symptoms, the patient refused this despite the indication for definitive laparoscopic hernia repair. DISCUSSION: Hip pain can have multiple causes. Taking physical characteristics into account can lead to the correct diagnostic pathway. The CT scan revealed the fistula which led to the laparoscopic surgery. Due to the intestinal damage and contamination, the surgical steps were adapted. CONCLUSION: Obturator hernias should be considered as a reason for atypical symptoms in slender, older patients. Adequate surgical management can be chosen after correct diagnosis.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To evaluate the actual change in clinical hip pain and hip migration after operation for non-ambulatory flaccid neuromuscular (NM) scoliosis and investigate whether there is an association between hip migration and coronal/sagittal pelvic tilt (CO-PT/SA-PT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective, single-center, observational study evaluated a total of 134 patients with non-ambulatory flaccid neuromuscular scoliosis who underwent surgery performed by a single surgeon between 2003 and 2020, with at least 2 years of follow-up period. Operation procedures were conducted in two stages, beginning with L5-S1 anterior release followed by posterior fixation. Radiologic parameters were measured at preoperative, immediate postoperative, and last follow-up periods with clinical hip pain and clinical hip dislocation events. RESULTS: The significant improvements occurred in various parameters after correction surgery for NM scoliosis, containing Cobb's angle of major curve and CO-PT. However, Reimer's hip migration percentage (RMP) was increased on both side of hip (High side, 0.23 ± 0.16 to 0.28 ± 0.21; Low side, 0.20 ± 0.14 to 0.23 ± 0.18). Hip pain and dislocation events were also increased (Visual analog scale score, 2.5 ± 2.3 to 3.6 ± 2.6, P value < 0.05; dislocation, 6-12). Logistic regression analysis of the interactions between ΔRMP(High) and the change of sagittal pelvic tilt (ΔSA-PT) after correction reveals a significant negative association. (95% CI 1.003-1.045, P value = 0.0226). CONCLUSIONS: In cases of non-ambulatory flaccid NM scoliosis, clinical hip pain, and subluxation continued to deteriorate even after correction of CO-PT. There was a relationship between the decrease in SA-PT, and an increase in hip migration percentage on high side, indicating the aggravation of hip subluxation.

OBJECTIVE: To (i) investigate the goals and expectations of participants enrolled in a clinical trial of physiotherapist-led treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome and (ii) explore associations between their expectations and self-reported hip burden and kinesiophobia. METHODS: Data from 150 participants with FAI syndrome who participated in a clinical trial were analysed. Participants described their most important treatment goal and the expectation of achieving this goal throughout physiotherapy treatment. The International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) subscales were used to assess self-reported hip burden. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia was used to assess kinesiophobia. Participants goals were qualitatively analysed using content analysis. Linear regression was used to explore associations between patient expectations and iHOT and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia scores. RESULTS: Participants with FAI syndrome reported goals relating to exercise (52%), improving activities of daily living quality (23%), improving physical function (15%), and reducing pain (10%). Negative expectations regarding physiotherapist-led treatment were reported by 68% of participants. Those with negative expectations reported worse scores for the iHOT-Total score (mean difference = 12 points, 95%CI = [4 to 19]), and iHOT-Symptoms (14 points, [7 to 21]) and iHOT-Social (11 points, [2 to 21]) subscales compared to those with positive expectations. Treatment expectations were not associated with iHOT-Sport, iHOT-Job, and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia scores (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Patients with FAI syndrome had a generally negative expectation of physiotherapist-led treatment. There was a mismatch between patients' goals and current treatment approaches. Participants with FAI syndrome and negative expectations reported worse quality of life, symptoms, and social concerns than those with positive expectations.

BACKGROUND: Physical therapist-led treatment programs are recommended for patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. Views of people with FAI syndrome regarding such interventions are currently unknown, including perceptions of potential barriers and facilitators to participation and adherence to exercise programs. OBJECTIVES: To explore participant perceptions of physical therapist-led programs for FAI syndrome, including barriers and facilitators for accessing physical therapy, and adhering to a rehabilitation program. METHODS: Our qualitative study used semi-structured interviews to explore the perceptions of patients with FAI syndrome undertaking physical therapy-led treatment, where treatment was ceased due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The interview topic guide was informed by the Theoretical Domain Framework. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and data categories were developed using inductive thematic analysis. Themes were discussed between researchers until consensus was reached. RESULTS: Fourteen participants (mean age: 30 years) with a range of physical activity backgrounds undertook interviews. We identified four key themes, 1) Patients believed their hip pain was caused by structural damage worsened through exercise; 2) Barriers and facilitators on the feasibility of physical therapist-led programs; 3) Participants held beliefs regarding the importance of adjunct treatments to exercise; and 4) Impact of FAI syndrome on physical activity participation. CONCLUSION: People with FAI syndrome believe they have structural damage which leads to their hip pain and are often afraid to exercise due to fear of causing more damage to their hip. Our findings suggest that people with FAI syndrome want clear education about exercise, imaging, and expectations of cost and duration of treatment.

BACKGROUND: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) presents challenges in clinical management due to its chronic nature and uncertain etiology. Historically attributed to greater trochanteric bursitis, current understanding implicates abductor tendinopathy as the primary cause. Diagnosis usually involves a clinical examination and additional tests such as imaging and provocative testing. Surgical intervention may be considered for cases refractory to conservative therapy, with endoscopic techniques gaining ground over open procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic review was conducted adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies were searched in four databases: Pubmed, Scopus, Embase, and Medline. The selected articles were evaluated according to the criteria of levels of evidence (LoE). The Coleman methodology score (mCMS) was used to analyze the retrospective studies. This systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews. RESULTS: Surgical success rates ranged from 70.6-100%, significantly improving pain and function. Complications were generally mild, mainly hematomas and seromas, while recurrence rates were low. However, limitations such as the retrospective design and the absence of control groups warrant cautious interpretation of the results. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic surgery emerges as a promising option for refractory GTPS, offering effective symptom relief and functional improvement. Despite limitations, these results suggest a favorable risk-benefit profile for endoscopic procedures. Further research is needed, particularly prospective randomized trials, to confirm these findings and optimize surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes.
RESUMO
Myositis ossificans (MO) is a benign condition where bone forms within muscles due to increased activity of the periarticular tissues. Trauma is the most common cause. Nontraumatic MO is exceedingly rare. We present a rare instance of nontraumatic MO affecting the hip in a 32-year-old patient. The patient had a known case of seizure disorder and also had a history of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Despite the absence of trauma or known predisposing factors, the patient developed a sizable mass in the left hip, causing pain and restricted range of motion (ROM). Surgical excision of the mass was successful, resulting in complete removal and subsequent improvement in hip function and pain relief during postoperative recovery. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MO. The patient's ROM normalized, and there were no signs of recurrence at the one-year follow-up. This case highlights the importance of recognizing MO in hip pain cases without trauma. Timely surgery through the approach described effectively removes the mass, preventing recurrence without compromising vital structures. It showcases a successful multidisciplinary approach for rare musculoskeletal conditions, offering valuable insights into similar cases.
RESUMO
Calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris is rare. This clinical report presents five cases of management of calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris. Between July 2018 and March 2023, five patients visited our institution, where they were treated for calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris. All patients presented with severe acute hip pain. Radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and an ultrasound examination of the hip showed calcification outside the joint, suggesting calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris. All patients were orally administered 200 mg cimetidine and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs twice daily. A pain-free status was achieved in 2 weeks on average. Calcium deposits disappeared in three patients and decreased in two. Symptoms did not recur. Furthermore, no recurrence or enlargements in calcium deposits were observed. It appears to be an effective treatment for calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris; however, the underlying mechanisms of action of cimetidine on calcific tendinitis have not yet been elucidated in detail.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The Movethehip trial investigates the effectiveness of an exercise and patient education intervention for adults with acetabular dysplasia. The intervention involves eight tailored one-to-one sessions with trained providers who employ supportive feedback tools. The present protocol reports a planned process evaluation, which aims to determine how the intervention functions by examining the implementation of the intervention (process, dose and reach), its acceptability, mechanisms of change and the influence of contextual factors. METHODS: Two hundred trial participants aged 18-50 years will be recruited from a University Hospital in Denmark and randomised to the intervention or control group. Approximately ten providers will deliver the intervention. The process evaluation adopts a concurrent mixed-methods design. The implementation will be assessed using self-report questionnaires (at baseline and 6-month follow-up), training records and semi-structured focus group interviews with intervention providers (n = 10) and healthcare managers (n = 4-6). The mechanisms of change will be explored through semi-structured one-to-one interviews (at baseline and 6-month follow-up) with 15-20 purposefully sampled participants and by measuring changes in health outcomes (self-reported pain, physical functioning and quality of life completed at baseline and at 3- and 6-month follow-up). Additionally, change will be measured through an explorative examination of associations between dose and change in health outcomes, applying simple linear regression models. The acceptability of the intervention and the influence of contextual factors will be explored through one-to-one participant interviews and focus group interviews with 4-6 healthcare managers. The interviews will focus on expectations, experiences, events, personal understandings and interaction with interpersonal and organisational aspects. Interview data will be analysed using theoretical thematic analyses, and findings will be merged with quantitative data and reported jointly on a theme-by-theme basis. DISCUSSION: The process evaluation conducted as part of the MovetheHip trial will illuminate how the intervention functions, and if the intervention is proven effective, the findings of the evaluation will contribute to pinpoint how the intervention may be optimised to facilitate future up-scaling and implementation. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The MovetheHip protocol was approved by the Committee on Health Research Ethics in the Central Denmark Region. ClinicalTrials, NCT04795843. Registered on 20 March 2021.

Introduction: Synchondrosis ischiopubic syndrome (SIS), also known as Van Neck-Odelberg disease, is a benign skeletal abnormality in children due to delayed closure in the ischiopubic synchondrosis (IPS). Patients may present with vague groin, hip, or buttock pain that can cause limitation of hip movement or limp. Few descriptions of this disorder exist, and it can easily be mistaken for other pathologies, including stress fracture, osteomyelitis, or tumor. Case Report: We report the case of a 9-year-old female gymnast presenting with right hip pain who was diagnosed with SIS. She was managed conservatively by the pediatric orthopedist. Conclusion: Van Neck-Odelberg disease is a rare cause of pediatric hip pain that can be mistaken for other more serious pathologies. The ability to recognize the disease early allows for effective treatment and the avoidance of unnecessary procedures.
RESUMO
Introduction: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is a common incapacitating hip condition characterized by chronic lateral hip pain. This condition includes a range of pathologies ranging from trochanteric bursitis, hip abductor pathology involving the gluteus medius and minimum, external coxa saltans (snapping hip syndrome), or combinations of these. Hip abductor tendon tears have gained recognition as a main contributor to this condition. This pathology is often misdiagnosed and left untreated because of the frequency of partial-thickness undersurface tears. Once this challenging diagnosis is confirmed, non-operative treatments are considered the first therapeutic approach. Despite the availability and effectiveness of multiple non-operative therapies, a considerable percentage of patients will present with chronic disabling pain and refractory symptoms. Many health-care providers are unaware of accessible advanced surgical techniques that benefit patients unresponsive to conservative management. Case Report: We present the case of a 51-year-old female patient with chronic lateral hip pain refractory to conservative treatment for more than two years, treated successfully with endoscopic abductor tendon repair. The patient returned to the desired activities six months following surgery without any reported complications. Patient's pre-operative reported outcomes utilizing the MHOT-14 and Vail hip scores improved from 27 to 79 points (on a scale of 0-100) and from 30 to 56 points (on a scale of 0-100), respectively, at eight months follow-up. Conclusion: This case report is illustrative of endoscopic surgical repair of the hip abductor tendons in the setting of a chronic full-thickness abductor tendon tear in a female patient after failure of conservative management. The multiple advantages of the technique include performance in an ambulatory day surgery center, soft-tissue preservation, and fewer complications compared to other open techniques. Knowledge of this pathology and its state-of-the-art available treatments is relevant for orthopedic surgeons and a wide range of health providers who encounter patients with chronic lateral hip pain.
RESUMO
Tendinopathy describes persistent tendon pain and loss of function related to mechanical loading. Two common hip tendinopathies seen in practice are gluteal tendinopathy and proximal hamstring tendinopathy. Both conditions can be frustrating for patients and clinicians due to the delay in diagnosis, significant disability caused and lack of response to common treatments. Tendinopathy is a clinical diagnosis and can most often be made using findings from the patient interview and pain provocation tests, without the need for imaging. Specific education and progressive exercise offer a low-risk and effective option for gluteal tendinopathy and result in greater rates of treatment success than corticosteroid injection, both in the short term (8 weeks) and at 1 year. Proximal hamstring tendinopathy is a common, but less researched, and under-recognized cause of persistent ischial pain. As research on proximal hamstring tendinopathy is limited, this review summarizes the available evidence on diagnosis and treatment following similar principles to other well-researched tendinopathies.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Clinicians and public health professionals have allocated resources to curb opioid over-prescription and address psychological needs among patients with musculoskeletal pain. However, associations between psychological distress, risk of surgery, and opioid prescribing among those with hip pathologies remain unclear. METHODS: Using a retrospective cohort study design, we identified patients that were evaluated for hip pain from January 13, 2020 to October 27, 2021. Patients' surgical histories and postoperative opioid prescriptions were extracted via chart review. Risk of hip surgery within one year of evaluation was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. Multivariable linear regression was employed to predict average morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per day of opioid prescriptions within the first 30 days after surgery. Candidate predictors included age, gender, race, ethnicity, employment, insurance type, hip function and quality of life on the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and psychological distress phenotype using the OSPRO Yellow Flag (OSPRO-YF) Assessment Tool. RESULTS: Of the 672 patients, n = 350 (52.1%) underwent orthopaedic surgery for hip pain. In multivariable analysis, younger patients, those with TRICARE/other government insurance, and those with a high psychological distress phenotype had higher odds of surgery. After adding iHOT-12 scores, younger patients and lower iHOT-12 scores were associated with higher odds of surgery, while Black/African American patients had lower odds of surgery. In multivariable analysis of average MME, patients with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) received opioid prescriptions with significantly higher average MME than those with other procedures, and surgery type was the only significant predictor. Post-hoc analysis excluding PAO found higher average MME for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy (compared to arthroplasty or other non-PAO procedures) and significantly lower average MME for patients with public insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) compared to those with private insurance. Among those only undergoing arthroscopy, older age and having public insurance were associated with opioid prescriptions with lower average MME. Neither iHOT-12 scores nor OSPRO-YF phenotype assignment were significant predictors of postoperative mean MME. CONCLUSIONS: Psychological distress characteristics are modifiable targets for rehabilitation programs, but their use as prognostic factors for risk of orthopaedic surgery and opioid prescribing in patients with hip pain appears limited when considered alongside other commonly collected clinical information such as age, insurance, type of surgery pursued, and iHOT-12 scores.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges to the global healthcare system and emerging evidence suggests a potential link between COVID-19 treatment, specifically steroid therapy, and the development of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent studies and case reports investigating the relationship between COVID-19, corticosteroid therapy, and the development of AVN. Understanding the nuances of AVN in the context of COVID-19 is crucial for healthcare professionals to navigate treatment decisions and mitigate potential complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and a Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) were used in the systematic review until 1 September 2023. The full texts of the remaining twenty-three (n = 23) articles were independently reviewed by the authors of this review. CONCLUSIONS: The association between steroid therapy for COVID-19 and the development of hip AVN is a noteworthy concern even though no relationship is evident between the duration of treatment, cumulative dosage of medication, maximum daily dosage received, and presence of AVN. Further research with larger cohorts and long-term follow up is needed to better understand the causative relationship and optimal management strategies for hip AVN in the context of COVID-19 and steroid therapy.
RESUMO
Background: Both gluteal and labral tears are common sources of hip pain, but no studies have evaluated how concomitant arthroscopic labral repair and correction of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) affect outcomes after endoscopic gluteus/minimus repair. Purpose: (1) To compare patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and clinically significant outcomes achievements between patients who underwent endoscopic gluteus medius/minimus and arthroscopic hip labral repair with correction of FAIS versus endoscopic gluteus medius/minimus repair without labral repair and (2) to define threshold scores required to achieve the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) for the Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score-Sports Specific, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), 12-item international Hip Outcome Tool, and visual analog scale for pain in these patients. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients who underwent primary endoscopic gluteus medius/minimus repair between 2012 and 2020 were identified. Those who underwent concomitant arthroscopic labral repair and correction of FAIS with femoroplasty or acetabuloplasty as indicated were propensity matched in a 1 to 1 ratio by sex, age, and body mass index to patients who underwent gluteus medius/minimus repair without labral repair. Patients who completed the study PROs were assessed preoperatively and at 2 years postoperatively. Threshold scores required to achieve the MCID and PASS thresholds were calculated. Results: A total of 32 patients who underwent simultaneous gluteal and labral repair (G+L) were matched to 32 patients who underwent gluteal repair without labral repair (G); 75% of patients in the G cohort underwent labral debridement, while 25% in this cohort received no labral treatment. A significant difference was observed between groups in preoperative mHHS scores (G+L, 54.4 ± 12.9 vs G, 46.3 ± 14; P = .048) but no differences in any other PRO scores (P≥ .207). The MCID/PASS thresholds were as follows: Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (11.14/83.82), Hip Outcome Score-Sports Specific (16.07/59.72), mHHS (11.47/70.95), 12-item international Hip Outcome Tool (13.73/45.49), and visual analog scale for pain (14.30/22). There were no significant differences in MCID or PASS achievement rates between the 2 groups (P≥ .108). Conclusion: Patients who underwent combined G+L demonstrated comparable PROs and clinically significant outcomes achievement rates to patients who underwent G, highlighting sustained successful outcomes for patients with gluteal tendon pathology and concomitant FAIS and labral tears.
