Arthroscopic Labral Repair Associated with Femoroacetabular Impingement: Short Term 2-5 Years Follow-up Results / 대한고관절학회지

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to report on the short term follow-up of patients who underwent arthroscopic acetabular labral repair for femoroacetabular impingement and acetabular labral tear. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 45 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic acetabular labral repair after diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement and acetabular labral tear from January 2008 to December 2010 were included in this study. Modified Harris hip score (MHHS), VAS, Hip outcomes score (HOS), and patient satisfaction were used for evaluation of the clinical results. RESULTS: Patients included 22 males and 23 females, and the mean age of the patients was 33.0(range, 16-54) years old, and the mean follow up period was 26.7(range, 24-56) months. Of the clinical results, mean VAS score was 6.4 and 2.5 points before and after surgery, respectively, and mean MHHS score improved from 59.5 points before surgery to 85.4 points after surgery. Activities of daily living and sports-related activities of HOS were 58.3% and 51.2%, respectively, before surgery, and 83.0% and 79.8% after surgery. Revision arthroscopic surgery was performed on five cases(12.1%); labro-synovial adhesion, three cases, pull-out of suture anchor, one case, heterotropic ossification, one case. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic acetabular labral repair is considered an effective treatment for femoroacetabular impingement and accompanying acetabular labral tear.
