Comparación del abordaje abierto frente al artroscópico en el tratamiento del choque femoroacetabular / Comparison of the open versus the arthroscopic approach in the treatment of femoroacetabular shock

OBJETIVOS: Comparar clínica y radiográficamente los resultados y complicaciones del tratamiento quirúrgico del choque femoroacetabular, mediante cirugía abierta o abordaje artroscópico. MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo en el que se incluye a los pacientes intervenidos entre junio de 2009 y enero de 2018 de choque femoroacetabular mediante abordaje abierto o artroscópico. De dichos pacientes se obtuvieron datos diagnósticos, resultados pre- y postoperatorios del ángulo α, escala Tönnis, valoración clínica mediante Harris Hip Score, estancia hospitalaria y posibles complicaciones así como evolución a prótesis total de cadera. RESULTADOS: Fueron incluidos en el estudio 57 pacientes, de los cuales 27 fueron sometidos a femoroplastia abierta (45,6%) y 31 a cirugía artroscópica de cadera (54,4%). A la hora de comparar los resultados obtenidos en cuanto corrección de ángulo α y de la puntuación del Harris Hip Score, no se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Donde sí se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas fue en la estancia hospitalaria, siendo aquí superior aquellas femoroplastias realizadas mediante cirugía artroscópica. CONCLUSIÓN: Ambas técnicas quirúrgicas para el tratamiento del choque femoroacetabular son válidas y obtienen resultados satisfactorios, si bien es cierto que la artroscopia está demostrando resultados superiores respecto a la cirugía abierta en el acortamiento de los tiempos quirúrgicos, estancia hospitalaria y recuperación postoperatoria

OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical and imaging results and complications between patients treated for femoroacetabular impingement who underwent either open surgery or an arthroscopic approach. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent femoroacetabular impingement surgical treatment between June 2009 and January 2018. Patients treated with open surgery were compared with those treated with arthroscopy. Patients were radiographically and clinically assessed by alpha angle, degree of arthritis, Harris Hip Score, hospital stay and complications, as well as progression to total hip arthroplasty. RESULTS: 57 patients with FAI were included; 27 (45.6%) underwent open surgery and 31 (54.4%) underwent arthroscopy. Statistically significant differences were observed in hospital stay, where the patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery showed better outcomes. There were no other statistically significant differences, the results were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopy and open surgery treatments for femoroacetabular impingement provided comparable clinical and radiographic results. However, the latter surgery provides better results in surgery time, hospital stay and postoperative recovery
