Progress in diagnosis and hip arthroscopic treatment of borderline developmental dysplasia of hip with Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To summarize the biomechanical characteristics, diagnosis, and hip arthroscopic treatment of borderline developmental dysplasia of hip (BDDH) with Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (Cam FAI).@*METHODS@#The literature on BDDH with Cam FAI at home and abroad in recent years was extensively reviewed and analyzed.@*RESULTS@#In patients with BDDH and Cam FAI, the femoral neck anteversion angle and femoral neck shaft angle increase, the pelvis tilts, and the acetabulum rotates, resulting in instability of the hip joint. In order to maintain the stability of the hip joint, the direction of biomechanical action of the hip joint has changed, which further affects the anatomical structures such as the proximal femur and acetabular morphology. BDDH with Cam FAI can be diagnosed clinically by combining lateral center edge angle, anterior center edge angle, and acetabular index. BDDH with Cam FAI can be effectively treated through arthroscopic polishing of the edges of the acetabular proliferative bone, excision of Cam malformations, and minimally invasive repair of the glenoid lip and cartilage of the hip joint.@*CONCLUSION@#Currently, there is no unified standard for the diagnosis and treatment of BDDH with Cam FAI. Minimally invasive treatment of the hip under arthroscopy can achieve good early- and medium-term effectiveness, and has certain advantages in repairing and maintaining the integrity of the glenoid lip and suturing/compression joint capsule. However, the long-term effectiveness needs to be further followed up to determine. The timing of surgery, intraoperative bone edge depth polishing, and joint capsule suturing/compression techniques also need to be further explored.

Anatomic landmarks for a safe arthroscopic approach to the deep gluteal space: a cadaveric study / Hitos anatómicos para un abordaje artroscópico seguro del espacio glúteo profundo: un estudio cadavérico

SUMMARY: To determine the morphometric landmarks and anatomical variants relevant to the arthroscopic approach to the deep gluteal space. Twenty deep gluteal spaces from cadaveric specimens were dissected. The anatomical variants of the sciatic nerve (SN) were determined according to the Beaton and Anson classification. A morphometric study of the distances in the subgluteal space was carried out to define the anatomical references to achieve a safe arthroscopic approach for piriformis syndrome [GT-SN=Distance from greater trochanter (GT) to SN emergence; GT-IT=Distance from GT to ischial tuberosity (IT); GT-IGA=distance from GT to inferior gluteal artery (IGA) emergence; IT-SN=distance from IT to SN emergence; IT-IGA=distance from IT to IGA]. The SN showed the most frequent anatomical pattern with an undivided nerve coming out of the pelvis below the piriformis muscle (Beaton type A) in 16 specimens (80 %). The common peroneal nerve emergence in the subgluteal space through the piriformis muscle (PM) with the tibial nerve being located at the lower margin of the piriformis muscle (Beaton type B) was observed in 4 specimens (20 %). The morphometric measurements of the surgical area of study were: GT-SN=7.23 cm (±8.3); GT-IT=8.56 cm (±0.1); GT-IGA=8.46 cm (±0.97); IT-SN=5.28 cm (±0.73), IT- IGA=5.47 cm (±0.74). When planning surgery for the deep gluteal syndrome in adult patients, the fact that the emergence of the SN in the subgluteal space is approximately 7 cm from the greater trochanter and 5 cm from the ischial tuberosity must be considered.

RESUMEN: El objetivo del estudio fue determinar referentes morfométricos y variantes anatómicas relevantes en el abordaje artroscópico del espació subglúteo. Se disecaron veinte regiones glúteas procedentes de cadáver. Las variaciones anatómicas del nervio ciático (SN) se determinaron de acuerdo con la clasificación de Beaton y Anson. Se llevó a cabo un estudio morfométrico de distancias en el espacio subglúteo, con objeto de determinar referencias que permitan un abordaje artroscópico seguro del sindrome piriforme [GT-SN= distancia trocánter mayor (GT) a la emergencia del nervio ciático (SN); GT-IT= distancia GT a la tuberosidad isquiática (IT); GT-IGA= distancia GT a la emergen- cia de la arteria glútea inferior (IGA); IT-SN= distancia IT a la emergencia del SN; IT-IGA= distancia IT a la IGA]. El patrón más frecuente del SN fue su emergencia no dividida por el margen inferior del músculo piriforme (tipo A Beaton) en 16 especímenes (80 %). La salida del nervio fibular común a través del músculo piriforme (PM) con el nervio tibial localizado en el margen inferior del PM (tipo B Beaton) se observó en 4 especímenes (20 %). Las medidas en el área quirúrgica de estudio fueron: GT-SN= 7,23 cm ± 8,3; GT-IT= 8,56 cm ± 0,1; GT-IGA= 8,46 cm ± 0,97; IT-SN= 5,28 cm ± 0,73 IT-IGA= 5,47 cm ± 0,74. En la cirugía del síndrome glúteo profundo en adultos, debe considerarse que la sa- lida del SN hacia el espacio subglúteo tiene lugar aproximadamente a 7 cm del GT y a 5 cm de la IT.

Hallazgos artroscópicos de la cadera en pacientes con indicación de osteotomía periacetabular / Arthroscopic findings of the hip in patients with indication of periacetabular osteotomy

Introducción La displasia de la cadera en desarrollo (DCD) produce cambios anatómicos que dan lugar a artrosis precoz. Dentro de los procedimientos quirúrgicos indicados, se encuentra la osteotomía periacetabular de Ganz, diseñada para mejorar la arquitectura de la cadera, que por sí sola, no mejora el daño del cartílago articular, además de posibles lesiones del labrum. El objetivo fue describir hallazgos artroscópicos encontrados en caderas con displasia e indicación de osteotomía periacetabular de Ganz. Materiales & Métodos Estudio observacional tipo serie de casos, basado en la revisión de los registros clínicos (descripción quirúrgica y video de la artroscopia) de todos los casos con diagnóstico de displasia de cadera e indicación de osteotomía periacetabular de Ganz, en quienes se realizó artroscopia antes de la osteotomía. Resultados La artroscopia de cadera demostró compromiso intra-articular en 76,9% de los casos estudiados (10 de 13). Seis casos tenían compromiso del cartílago articular en las zonas geográficas 2, 3 y 4, adicionalmente se observó compromiso de la unión condrolabral en seis casos y el daño a nivel del labrum, se detectó en 5 casos; con respecto al offset cabeza-cuello femoral, se encontró disminuido en 5 casos. En una de las caderas, se contraindicó la osteotomía periacetabular por el grado de compromiso del cartílago articular. Discusión La DCD es una condición clínica que predispone al daño de estructuras articulares con alta frecuencia, que pueden ser tratadas de forma artroscópica con el fin de evitar la persistencia de síntomas después de una osteotomía periacetabular o incluso contraindicarla.

Background Dysplasia of the hip in development (DHD) produces anatomical changes that cause premature arthrosis. Within the surgical procedures indicated, Ganz periacetabular osteotomy has been described. It is designed to improve the architecture of the hip that, by itself, does not improve the damage to the articular cartilage, as well as possible lessions of the labrum. The objective was to describe the arthroscopic findings found in hips with dysplasia and indication of Ganz periacetabular osteotomy. Method Case series type observational retrospective study based on the review of surgical descriptions and videos of all cases with diagnosis of hip dysplasia and indication of Ganz periacetabular osteotomy where arthroscopy of the hip was performed prior to the osteotomy. Results Hip arthroscopy showed intra-articular compromise of 76.9% of the cases studied (10 of 13). Six cases had compromise of the articular cartilage in the 2, 3 and 4 geographic zones. In addition, compromise of the chondrolabral joint was observed in 6 cases and damage at the labrum level was detected in 5 cases. In regard to the femoral head-neck offset, it was found to be reduced in 5 cases. In one of the cases periacetabular osteotomy was contraindicated due to the level of compromise of the articular cartilage. Conclusions DHD is a clinical condition that is very frequently predisposed to damage of the articular structures; they can be treated with arthroscopy with the aim of avoiding persistence of sypmtoms after a periacetabluar osteotomy or even contraindicating it.

Femoroacetabular Impingement and Acetabular Labral Tears - Part 1: Pathophysiology and Biomechanics / Impacto femoroacetabular e lesão do lábio acetabular - Parte 1: Fisiopatologia e biomecânica

Abstract Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is an important cause of hip pain, and the main etiology of hip osteoarthritis in the young population. Femoroacetabular impingement is characterized by subtle alterations in the anatomy of the acetabulum and proximal femur, which can lead to labrum tearing. The acetabular labrum is essential to the stability of the hip joint. Three types of FAI were described: cam (anespherical femoral head), pincer (acetabular overcoverage) and mixed (characteristics of both cam and pincer). The etiology of FAI is related to genetic and environmental characteristics. Knowledge of this condition is essential to adequately treat patients presenting with hip pain.

Resumo O impacto femoroacetabular (IFA) é uma importante causa de dor no quadril, e a principal etiologia da osteoartrose do quadril no jovem. O IFA é caracterizado por alterações sutis da anatomia do acetábulo e do fêmur proximal que podem causar lesões do complexo condrolabial. O lábio é uma estrutura fibrocartilaginosa essencial na estabilidade articular. Três tipos de IFA são descritos: came (onde há uma anesfericidade da cabeça femoral), pincer (onde há uma sobrecobertura acetabular) e misto (que apresenta características de ambos). A etiologia do IFA está relacionada com características genéticas e ambientais. O conhecimento desta doença e sua fisiopatologia é essencial para o tratamento de pacientes que apresentam dor no quadril.

Does Arthroscopic Repair of Femoroacetabular Impingement Pathology Affect Clinical Outcomes after Ipsilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty? / 대한고관절학회지

PURPOSE: Arthroscopy for repair of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and related conditions is technically challenging, but remains the preferred approach for management of these hip pathologies. The incidence of this procedure has increased steadily for the past few years, but little is known about its potential long-term effects on future interventions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether prior arthroscopic correction of FAI pathology impacts postoperative complication rates in patients receiving subsequent ipsilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) on a national scale.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A commercially available national database – PearlDiver Patients Records Database – identified primary THA patients from 2005 to 2014. Patients who had prior arthroscopic FAI repair (post arthroscopy group) were separated from those who did not (native hip group). Prior FAI repair was examined as a risk factor for complications following THA and a multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to identify risk factors for complications following THA.RESULTS: A total of 11,061 patients met all inclusion and exclusion criteria; 10,951 in the native hip group and 110 in the post arthroscopy group. Prior FAI repair was not significantly associated with higher rates of 90-day readmission (P=0.585), aseptic dislocation/revision within 3 years (P=0.409), surgical site infection within 3 years (P=0.796), or hip stiffness within 3 years (P=0.977) after THA.CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic FAI repair is not an independent risk factor for complications following subsequent ipsilateral THA (level of evidence: III).

Morphologic Changes of Femoral Cam Lesion after Osteoplasty for Femoroacetabular Impingement / 대한정형외과학회잡지

PURPOSE: We evaluated the morphologic change of cam lesion of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) using 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) at the minimum 2-year follow-up and estimated its relationship with clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between February 2007 and March 2014, all patients who underwent hip arthroscopic femoroplasty under the impression of FAI were retrospectively evaluated. We selected patients who received 3D-CT and were followed-up for more than 2 years. We estimated the quantitative volume of femoroplasty, alpha angle and femoral head-neck offset using 3D-CT. RESULTS: Thirty-two patients (37 cases) were selected in our study. The mean age was 31.2 years (16–69 years) and the mean follow-up duration was 47.3 months (26–119 months). The mean resection volume measured after femoroplasty using 3D-CT was 48.9 mm2 (13.2–106.4 mm2), and follow-up mean resection volume was 37.9 mm2 (7.83–90.37 mm2). A little bit of the mean volumatic overgrowth of the resection area between immediate postoperative and last follow-up was shown; however, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean values (p>0.05). The clinical outcomes showed a significant improvement during the perioperative and follow-up periods in all categories (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: There was no significant regrowth of cam lesion after femoroplasty for FAI at maximum 9 years. Moreover, in most cases, clinical outcomes were improved. This suggests that we were able to achieve good clinical outcomes without harmful anatomical regrowth of cam deformity using arthroscopic femoroplasty.

Application of arthroscopic surgery combined with direct anterior approach in hip diseases / 中国修复重建外科杂志

Objective: To evaluate the short-term effectiveness of arthroscopic surgery combined with direct anterior approach for hip diseases. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 23 cases with hip diseases (23 hips), who were treated with the arthroscopic surgery combined with direct anterior approach, between January 2015 and December 2016. There were 9 males and 14 females, aged from 27 to 49 years (mean, 38.6 years). There were 11 cases of posterior dislocation of the hip associated with femoral head fracture (Pipkin typeⅠ) and 7 cases of femoral neck fracture (Garden type Ⅳ). And the interval between injury and operation was 2-8 days (mean, 4.3 days). Five cases were osteonecrosis of femoral head at precollapse stage which were rated as stageⅡA according to Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) classification system. The disease duration was 3-8 months (mean, 5.9 months). The preoperative Harris hip score, Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Postel score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) were 57.3±8.2, 11.2±3.6, 3.2±1.5, and 7.2±1.3, respectively. Results: All the wounds healed primarily. Lateral femoral nerve injury occurred in 3 cases. All patients were followed up 8-19 months (mean, 15.6 months). Bone union achieved in all patients after 14-19 weeks (mean, 15.8 weeks) and no secondary osteoarthritis or heterotopic ossification occurred. At last follow-up, the Harris hip score (92.5±5.3), OHS (36.5±5.9), and Postel score (14.2±2.6) were significantly higher than preoperative scores ( t=45.274, P=0.000; t=36.586, P=0.000; t=32.486, P=0.000), and VAS score (1.8±0.9) was significantly lower than preoperative score ( t=21.314, P=0.000). Conclusion: Arthroscopic surgery combined with direct anterior approach for hip diseases can effectively relieve pain, improve hip function, and obtain the satisfactory short-term effectiveness.

Arthroscopic Treatment for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome in Patients over 50 Years Old / 中国运动医学杂志

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome(FAI) for patients over 50 years old,and explore the occurrence regularity and treating rules for such a disease.Methods The clinical data of 71 patients(78 hips with FAI) over 50 years old who underwent arthroscopic treatment for FAI in our department between May 2012 and May 2017 were studied retrospectively.Physical examination,X-ray and CT 3D scans were made preoperatively for explicit diagnosis.The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 66 months,with an average of 31.78 ± 18.07 months.Every patient had a joint space greater than 2 mm,and a grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ hip osteoarthrosis according to the Trnnis scale.Under the hip arthroscopy the synovial hyperplasia was cleaned,the damaged labrum and cartilage were repaired,and the femoroacetabular hyperplasia and the impingement factors were removed to restore the normal shape of femoroacetabular.The joint clearance,changes ofthe alpha angle when at Dunn position and centre edge(CE) angle at normotopia on the X-ray,the intraoperative injuries of cartilages and glenoid labrum and surgical satisfaction and complications were measured and recorded.The modified Harris hip score(mHHS) and visual analogue scale(VAS) were used to evaluate the hip function recovery and pain relief of patients.Results The average age of the patients was 55.15 ± 5.02 years old,ranging from 50 to 69.Among the 23 males and 48 females,there were 33 left hips with FAI and 45 right hips with FAI.The average preoperative joint clearance was 4.81 ± 0.87 mm,and all incisions were healed by first intention after the treatment.The average α angle of the patients decreased from 50.11 ± 4.75 to 42.72 ± 4.7 degrees after the treatment,with the α angle of 7 patients(8.97％) bigger than 55 degree,and that of 40 patients(51.28％) smaller than 50 degree.The average CE angle decreased from 36.54 ± 9.14 degrees to 35.19 ± 8.55 degrees after the treatment,with that of 27 patients(34.62％) bigger than 40 degrees.Before the treatment,the main clinical manifestations were hip pain and swelling,including 36 cases(46.15％) with hip joint lock,70 (89.74％) with groin tenderness.Moreover,75 cases(96.15％) were positive in hip adduction internal rotation test(FADIR) and 64 cases(83.33％) were positive in the hip abduction and external rotation impingement test.However,the pain was relieved or disappeared after the treatment.The average VAS score decreased significantly from preoperative 4.42 ± 1.42 points to 1.31 ± 1.28 at the last follow-up,while the average mHHS score increased significantly from preoperative(52.4 ± 19.38) points to(81.72 ± 10.82) during the last follow-up,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Significant improvement was observed in the mHHs and VAS scores of 89％ patients(P＜0.01).1 patient(1.28％) underwent hip replacement during the follow-up period.No serious complications occurred.Conclusion In most cases,arthroscopic treatment of FAI in old patients(over 50 years old),who were with osteoarthrosis and hip labrum injury,can significantly improve the joint function and relieve pain.It is a treatment with safety.

Arthroscopic Management of Intraarticular Screw Perforation after Surgical Treatment of an Acetabular Posterior Wall Fracture: A Case Report / 대한고관절학회지

Although surgical techniques for treating acetabular fracture are evolving, the use of periacetabular screws is common, and their placement in acetabular surgery is still technically demanding. For instance, intraarticular screw perforation is a serious complication that may occur during surgical treatment of an acetabular fracture. Here, we describe the case of a 50-year-old female who experienced an intraarticular screw perforation after surgical treatment of a posterior acetabular wall fracture. Removal of the perforated screw was performed arthroscopically based on its ability to offer minimally invasive access to the hip joint. One year after removal of the screw, no radiological signs of osteoarthritic changes were observed. The patient regained normal ambulation without limitations to range of motion or hip pain. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of arthroscopy to treat intraarticular screw perforation after surgical treatment of an acetabular fracture.

The Effectiveness of Arthroscopy in Borderline Hip Dysplasia / 대한정형외과학회잡지

PURPOSE: The outcome of hip arthroscopy as a treatment of patients with hip dysplasia is variable. In patients with severe hip dysplasia, arthroscopy has the potential to exacerbate instability and unfavorable outcome. To the best of out knowledge, there has not been a report regarding arthroscopic treatment in patients with borderline hip dysplasia in Korea. We favorable outcome with using arthroscopy to treat symptomatic borderline hip dysplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between August 2010 and February 2015, 143 patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for intra-articular hip disorder were retrospectively enrolled. From this cohort, a borderline dysplasia group compromising 29 patient with lateral center edge angle (LCEA) >18° and <25° and a minimum of 1 years follow-up, was identified. Patient-reported outcome scores, including modified Harris hip score, the hip outcome score-activity of daily living, the sport-specific subscale, visual analogue scale (VAS) and satisfaction survey were obtained preoperatively and at postoperative 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years. Revision surgery and complications were recorded for each group. RESULTS: The mean age was 35.7 years (range, 16–63 years) years respectively. There were 16 females (55.2%) and 13 males (44.8%). The mean LCEA was 22.0° (range, 18°–25°) and the mean Tönnis angle was 6.1° (range, 0°–18°). The mean follow-up was 20.2 months (range, 12–39 months), and at the 1 year follow-up, there was significant improvement (p<0.001) in all patient reported outcome scores and VAS. Satisfaction survey showed an average score of 7.7. CONCLUSION: In patients with borderline hip dysplasia, if there is an occurrence of symptomatic labral tear, arthroscopic labral refixation has a good short-term result. Therefore, if patients have no response to conservative treatment or have severe pain, arthroscopic labral refixation is a useful treatment options to relieve symptom.

Dolor posoperatorio en pacientes sometidos a artroscopia de cadera con la técnica dentro-fuera en comparación con la técnica fuera-dentro / Douleur postopératoire chez les patients traités par la technique arthroscopique de dehors en dedans en comparaison avec la technique de dedans en dehors au niveau de la hanche / Postoperative pain in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy with inside-out technique compared with the outside-in technique

Objetivo: comparar el dolor posoperatorio en pacientes sometidos a artroscopia de cadera con la técnica dentro-fuera en comparación con la técnica fuera-dentro. Métodos: se realizó un estudio prospectivo en el que se comparó el dolor posoperatorio en un grupo de pacientes (n = 31) a los que se les realizó artroscopia de cadera mediante la técnica fuera-dentro, con los pacientes (n = 31) a los que se les realizó con la técnica dentro-fuera; ambos grupos de pacientes recibieron la misma analgesia multimodal. Los parámetros principales medidos fueron: la escala visual análoga en diferentes momentos hasta 24 horas después de la operación y la necesidad de opiáceos. Para las variables categóricas se realizó la comparación mediante Chi cuadrado, y para las variables cuantitativas mediante t Student o Mann-Whitney. Se calcularon el OR y el IC 95 por ciento. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó el programa SPSS versión 21.0 y se consideró un error alfa de 5 por ciento. Resultados: la escala visual análoga posoperatoria fue menor en pacientes con la técnica de fuera-dentro después de 1 hora (diferencia media 1,9 IC 95 por ciento: 0,5 a 3,2, p = 0,01), después de 2 horas (diferencia media 1,29 IC 95 por ciento: 0,3 a 2,2, p = 0,01), y en el momento del alta (diferencia media 0,77 IC 95 por ciento: 0,16 a 1,18; p = 0,01). Sin embargo, 24 horas después del procedimiento, la diferencia no fue significativa (diferencia media 0,4 IC 95 por ciento: 0,02 a 0,84; p = 0,08). Las necesidades de opioides en el posoperatorio fueron significativamente menores en los pacientes con la técnica fuera-dentro ─6,5 por ciento vs. 41,9 por ciento─ (OR crudo 0,09 IC 95 porciento: 0,02 a 0,47; p = 0,004), incluso después de ajustar por edad, sexo y el IMC (OR ajustado 0,09 IC 95 por ciento: 0,016 hasta 0,51, p = 0,006). Conclusiones: los pacientes a los que se les realiza artroscopia de cadera con la técnica fuera-dentro tienen menos dolor posoperatorio y requerimientos de opioides que aquellos a los que se les realiza la técnica dentro-fuera(AU)

Objective: compare postoperative pain in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy with the inside-out technique compared to outside-in technique. Methods: a prospective study was conducted on postoperative pain in a group of patients (n = 31) who underwent hip arthroscopy by outside-in technique, which were compared with patients (n = 31) who received the inside-out technique. Both groups of patients received the same multimodal analgesia. The main parameters were measured: visual analogue scale at different times up to 24 hours after surgery and opioid need. Categorical variables were compared using Chi-square, and quantitative variables using Student t or Mann-Whitney. OR and CI 95 percent were calculated. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis program and an alpha error of 5 percent was considered. Results: postoperative visual analogue scale was lower in patients with outside-in technique after 1 hour (mean difference 1.9, 95 percent CI 0.5 to 3.2, p = 0.01) after 2 hours (mean difference 1.29, 95 percent CI 0.3 to 2.2, p = 0.01) and at discharge (mean difference 0.77, 95 percent CI 0.16 to 1.18; p = 0.01). However, 24 hours after the procedure, the difference was not significant (mean difference 0.4, 95 percent CI 0.02 to 0.84; p = 0.08). Opioid requirements postoperatively were significantly lower in patients with the outside-in technique ─6,5 percent vs. 41.9 percent─ (crude OR 0.09 95 percnt CI 0.02 to 0.47; p = 0.004), even after adjusting age, sex and BMI (adjusted OR 0.09, 95 percent CI: 0.016 to 0.51, p = 0.006). Conclusions: Patients who underwent hip arthroscopy with outside-in technique have less postoperative pain and opioid requirements that those who undergo the inside-out technique(AU)

Objectif: le but de ce travail est de comparer la douleur postopératoire chez des patients opérés par la technique arthroscopique de dedans en dehors avec la technique de dehors en dedans au niveau de la hanche. Méthodes: une étude prospective a été réalisée afin de comparer la douleur postopératoire dans un groupe de patients traités par la technique arthroscopique de dehors en dedans (n = 31) et dans un groupe de patients traités par la technique arthroscopique de dedans en dehors (n = 31) au niveau de la hanche. Tous les deux groupes ont reçu une analgésie multimodale. On a fondamentalement évalué des paramètres tels que l'échelle visuelle analogique (EVA) en différents moments, même 24 heures après l'opération, et le besoin d'opiacés. Pour les variables catégoriques, on a utilisé le test de Chi carré, et pour les variables quantitatives le test du t de Student ou de Mann-Whitney. On a également calculé l'OR et l'IC 95 pourcent. Pour l'analyse des données, on a utilisé le logiciel SPSS v21.0, et une erreur alpha de 5 pourcent a été considérée. Résultats: la valeur EVA en postopératoire a été inférieure chez les patients opérés par la technique de dehors en dedans après 1 h (différence moyenne 1.9 IC 95 pourcent : 0.5 à 3.2, p = 0.01), après 2 h (différence moyenne 1.29 IC 95 pourcent : 0.3 à 2.2, p = 0.01), et à la sortie de l'hôpital (différence moyenne 0,77 IC 95 pourcent : 0.16 à 1.18 ; p = 0.01). Par contre, la différence n'a pas été significative (différence moyenne 0.4 IC 95 pourcent : 0.02 à 0.84 ; p = 0.08) 24 h après le geste opératoire. Le besoin d'opiacés en postopératoire a été significativement inférieur chez les patients traités par la technique de dehors en dedans ─6.5 pourcent vs. 41.9 pourcent─ (OR cru 0.09 IC 95 pourcent : 0.02 à 0.47 ; p = 0.004), même après l'ajustement par âge, sexe et IMC (OR ajusté 0.09 IC 95 pourcent : 0.016 jusqu'à 0.51, p = 0.006). Conclusions: on conclut que les patients traités par la technique arthroscopique de dehors en dedans souffrent moins de douleur postopératoire et n'ont pas besoin d'opiacés que ceux qui ont été traités par la technique arthroscopique de dedans en dehors.

Endoscopic Excision of Schwannoma of Sciatic Nerve Using Hip Arthroscopy / 대한정형외과학회잡지

As the expertise of the surgeon improves in arthroscopic surgery of the hip, the number of conditions treated by it also increases. In this case, an arthroscopic treatment was performed on a patient with piriformis syndrome due to schwannoma on the sciatic nerve. Meticulous excision of the cystic lesion on the sciatic nerve was completely performed and neither recurrence nor complication of the surgery was observed. Endoscopic excision using arthroscopy is useful for reducing postoperative pain and achieving early return to activities for the patient.

Preservación articular post-artroscopía de cadera a 5 años mínimo de seguimiento / Joint preservation treated with hip arthroscopy. Minimum follow-up of 5 years

Introducción: El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar los resultados clinicos y la tasa de preservacion articular en pacientes a los que se le realizo una artroscopia de cadera por sindrome de friccion femoroacetabular (SFFA) con seguimiento minimo 5 anos. Se analizaron los factores predictivos de requerimiento para un reemplazo total de cadera (RTC). Materiales y métodos: Se evaluaron 42 pacientes consecutivos (15 mujeres, 27 hombres, edad promedio 38 anos) con SFFA. A todos se les realizo una artroscopia de cadera para estabilizar el dano articular (lesiones labrales y/o condrolabrales) y correccion de deformidades oseas asociadas (CAM y/o PINCER). Se realizo un seguimiento clinico. Ningun paciente fue perdido en el seguimiento. Se analizaron los factores predictivos de probabilidad de RTC. Resultados: A un seguimiento minimo de 5 anos la tasa de preservacion articular fue del 88,1 % (IC95 % 74,54 %-95,27 %). La probabilidad de evolucionar a una RTC en pacientes con escala radiografica Tonnis preoperatoria 0 y I fue del 0% (IC95 % 0%-14,76 %). La probabilidad de evolucionar a una RTC en pacientes con estadios Tonnis II y III fue del 33,3 % (IC95 %, 14,96 %-58,5 %). La diferencia entre ambos grupos fue significativa p= 0.003. La edad mayor o igual a 45 anos al momento de la artroscopia resulto ser un factor de riesgo significativo para evolucionar a una RTC (p=0.005). Conclusión: El tratamiento artroscopico del SFFA presenta resultados favorables a 5 anos en terminos de preservacion articular. Pacientes con artrosis preoperatoria avanzada y mayores de 45 anos tienen mayor riesgo de requerir una artroplastia de cadera en dicho lapso. Nivel de evidencia: IV. Tipo de estudio: Serie de casos...

Introduction: Purpose of this work is to evaluate the clinical results and the rate of joint preservation in a series of patients with Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) treated with hip arthroscopy at a minimum follow up of 5 years. The predictive factors for total hip arthroplasty (THA) requirement were analyzed. Material and methods: Between February 2008 and February 2009, 42 consecutive patients treated with a hip arthroscopy due to FAI syndrome were included. There were 15 women and 27 men with an average age of 38 years (range 23 to 56 years). The surgery involved joint damage stabilization (labral tears and/or condrolabral injuries) and correction of associated bony deformities (CAM and/or PINCER lesions). A prospective clinical follow up was made with no patient lost. We specifically addressed the need for THA. Predictive factors for THA were also analyzed. Results: At a minimum follow up of 5 years the rate joint preservation was 88.1% (CI95% 74,54%-95,27%). The probability of evolving to a THA in patients with radiographic preoperative Tonnis grades 0 and I was of 0% (CI95% 0%-14,76%). The probability of evolving to a THA in patients with preoperative Tonnis grades II and III was 33, 3% (CI95%14.96%-58.5%). Statistical significant difference was present between both groups (p= 0.003). Patients with an age of 45 years or more at the time of hip arthroscopy were at significant risk to evolve to THA (p=0.005). Conclusions: Hip arthroscopy for the treatment of patients with FAI syndrome presents favorable results regarding joint preservation at a minimum follow up of 5 years. Patients with advanced preoperative radiographic signs of osteoarthritis and those older than 45 years at the time of surgery have greater risk for requiring THA. Level of evidence: IV.

Condromatosis sinovial de cadera. Tratamiento artroscópico / Hip synovial chondromatosis. Arthroscopic treatment

Introducción: La condromatosis sinovial se define como una lesión metaplásica benigna, de baja incidencia en cadera. La técnica ideal de tratamiento genera controversia por la probable recurrencia y la progresión degenerativa descrita para técnicas tanto a cielo abierto como artroscópicas. El objetivo de este trabajo es reportar la técnica quirúrgica y los resultados a corto plazo en una serie de pacientes con condromatosis sinovial de cadera tratados por vía artroscópica. Materiales y Métodos: Entre abril de 2007 y mayo de 2011, 10 pacientes (9 mujeres y 1 hombre, edad promedio 38 años; rango 17-53) fueron operados por vía artroscópica a causa de una condromatosis sinovial de cadera. Se evaluaron la técnica quirúrgica, los resultados clínicos y radiológicos, y el grado de satisfacción con el procedimiento. La escala funcional de Harris modificada preoperatoria fue de 51 puntos (rango 49-54). La histología diferida confirmó el diagnóstico en todos los casos. El seguimiento prospectivo fue, en promedio, de 35 meses (rango 24-47). Resultados: En todos los casos, se realizó una técnica artroscópica convencional para extraer cuerpos libres y sinovectomía parcial anterolateral. En tres pacientes, se amplió la incisión de uno de los portales para extraer cuerpos de gran diámetro. La escala funcional de Harris modificada posoperatoria fue, en promedio, de 88 puntos (rango 85-91). No se observó progreso degenerativo articular radiológico en el último control. Todos los pacientes se mostraron satisfechos con el procedimiento. No se registraron complicaciones. Conclusiones: Los resultados a corto plazo favorables coinciden con los publicados. Los pacientes con condromatosis sinovial de cadera pueden ser tratados por vía artroscópica en forma segura y eficaz. Diseño del estudio: Estudio terapéutico Nivel de evidencia: IV...

Background: Synovial chondromatosis is defined as a benign metaplastic lesion, with a low incidence in hips. The ideal treatment technique is controversial due to the probable recurrence and degenerative progression described with both arthroscopic and open surgery. The aim of this study is to report the surgical technique and shortterm results in a series of patients with synovial chondromatosis treated with arthroscopic hip. Methods: From April 2007 to May 2011, 10 patients (9 women and a man; average age 38 years; range 17-53) underwent hip arthroscopy for synovial chondromatosis. Surgical technique, clinical and radiological results, and satisfaction with the procedure were evaluated. The preoperative modified Harris hip functional scale was 51 points (range 49-54). Delayed histology confirmed diagnosis in all cases. Prospective follow-up averaged 35 months (range 24-47). Results: The conventional arthroscopic technique to extract loose bodies and partial anterolateral synovectomy were performed in all patients. In three patients incision of one of the portals was extended to extract bodies of large diameter. The postoperative modified Harris hip functional scale averaged 88 points (range 85-91). No radiographic joint degenerative progress was seen at the last control. All patients were satisfied with the procedure. There were no complications. Conclusions: Favorable short-term results are consistent with those reported in the literature. Patients with synovial chondromatosis can be treated with hip arthroscopy safely and effectively. Design of the Study: Therapeutic. Level of Evidence: IV...

National Trends of Hip Arthroscopy in Korea

Hip arthroscopy has been reported to be useful and promising for the treatment of hip pathologies. However, it is not known whether the utilization of hip arthroscopy has increased in Korea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate national trends regarding the utilization of hip arthroscopy in Korea. We retrospectively reviewed nationwide data obtained from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA). All new admissions for hip arthroscopy are recorded nationwide by HIRA using the ICD-10 code and the code for arthroscopic devices. Using archived data, we determined the trends in utilization of hip arthroscopy between 2007 and 2010. The number of hip arthroscopies increased more than twofold over the study period, from 596 to 1,262. A third of cases were performed in hospitals. Furthermore, a bimodal distribution was observed for men (20 to 24 yr and 45 to 49 yr) and an unimodal distribution for women (50 to 54 yr). Our results show an increasing trends in the utilization of hip arthroscopy from 2007 to 2010, which is in-line with recent findings of increased utilization with the rest of the world.
