Ultrasound-assisted hip arthroscopy.

ABSTRACT: We describe the use of intraoperative ultrasound for the safe development of arthroscopic portals during hip arthroscopy without the requirement for fluoroscopy. We find this technique consistently accurate, allowing the safe introduction of arthroscopic instruments into the hip with a very low rate of iatrogenic injury. We have further developed the technique for application to both central- and peripheral-compartment procedures. We now have a total experience of more than 700 procedures to date. With the described technique of ultrasound guidance for portal placement, fluoroscopy is required in fewer than 2% of hip arthroscopy procedures at our institution.

Ultrasound-Guided Portal Placement for Hip Arthroscopy.

Project description:Over the past 2 decades, hip arthroscopy has developed as a surgical technique, with more orthopaedic surgeons attempting to become proficient in performing this surgical procedure as indications and surgical skills evolve. The hip joint presents unique arthroscopic challenges because of its anatomic location, and it can be challenging to safely and confidently establish portal sites. Ultrasound-guided hip arthroscopy portal placement is not yet common practice for orthopaedic surgeons. The potential advantages of ultrasound-guided hip arthroscopy portal placement are the lack of radiation exposure to the patient and operating room personnel, direct visualization of the hip joint and surrounding soft-tissue structures, and lack of bulky fluoroscopic equipment in the operative field. We describe a detailed technique incorporating video examples using ultrasound guidance to establish appropriate portal sites for hip arthroscopy with the aim to improve safety and overall operator competence.

Ultrasound Arthroscopy of Hip in Treatment of Osteochondritis Dissecans.

Project description:An ultrasound arthroscopy (UA) technique is a promising tool for the evaluation of the articular cartilage during arthroscopic examination. However, the applicability of UA for the evaluation of the hip joint is unknown. We describe a UA assessment of a patient with osteochondritis dissecans at the femoral head. An ultrasound catheter designed for intravascular imaging was inserted into the hip joint by use of conventional arthroscopic portals, and the cartilage surfaces of the femoral head and acetabulum were investigated with ultrasound. UA provided essential quantitative information on the integrity of the articular cartilage and the condition of the subchondral plate not assessable with conventional arthroscopy. Furthermore, the UA technique provided the possibility to monitor arthroscopy-assisted retrograde drilling and bone transplantation in the hip joint.

Basic Hip Arthroscopy: Diagnostic Hip Arthroscopy.

Project description:Hip arthroscopy is increasing in popularity for the diagnosis and management of hip preservation. The basics of hip arthroscopy positioning, fluoroscopic assessment, and portal establishment are reviewed in the first 2 parts of this series. This article is the third installment in which we describe a systematic approach to performing a diagnostic hip arthroscopy. A mastery of diagnostic arthroscopy is necessary for surgeons treating hip disorders.

Capsular Management with Traction-Assisted T-Capsulotomy Technique During Hip Arthroscopy.

Project description:Capsular management, from the initial capsulotomy to capsule closure is essential to success in hip arthroscopy to achieve optimal outcomes. Although an interportal capsulotomy is typically sufficient for resection of proximal cam lesions and for performing central compartment procedures, T-capsulotomy is usually performed when large cam deformity needs to be addressed because it provides a broader field of view. The purpose of this Technical Note is to summarize each step of capsule management and to define a traction-assisted T-capsulotomy technique that allows for accurate placement of the T-capsulotomy while also avoiding damage to the articular cartilage.

Is There a Role for Ultrasound in Hip Arthroscopy? A Systematic Review.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify and summarize the current utility of intraoperative ultrasound (US) during hip arthroscopy.MethodsA systematic database query of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, PubMed (1980 to 2019), and Ovid MEDLINE (1980 to 2019) was performed. After article identification, descriptions of the surgical procedure, use of intraoperative US, procedural complications, and conclusions from each article were recorded and summarized.ResultsFive studies met inclusion criteria, all of which were surgical techniques or technical notes. Four of the 5 studies described US used for placement of arthroscopic portals, and 1 described the use of an intraarticular US catheter for the assessment of an osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesion. Of the 4 studies using US for portal placement, 3 were performed supine and 1 was performed in the lateral decubitus position. All studies recognized the need for additional US training or the required assistance of a radiologist to incorporate US into a surgical practice.ConclusionDescriptions of intraoperative US during hip arthroscopy are limited in the literature. However, existing technique reports demonstrate the feasibility of US for both portal placement with superficial probes and limited evaluation of cartilage using intraarticular US catheters.Level of evidenceV, systematic review.

Hip arthroscopy update.

Project description:The management of hip injuries in the athlete has evolved significantly in the past few years with the advancement of arthroscopic techniques. The application of minimally invasive surgical techniques has facilitated relatively rapid returns to sporting activity in recreational and elite athletes alike. Recent advancements in both hip arthroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging have elucidated several sources of intraarticular pathology that result in chronic and disabling hip symptoms. Many of these conditions were previously unrecognized and thus, left untreated. Current indications for hip arthroscopy include management of labral tears, osteoplasty for femoroacetabular impingement, thermal capsulorrhaphy and capsular plication for subtle rotational instability and capsular laxity, lateral impact injury and chondral lesions, osteochondritis dissecans, ligamentum teres injuries, internal and external snapping hip, removal of loose bodies, synovial biopsy, subtotal synovectomy, synovial chondromatosis, infection, and certain cases of mild to moderate osteoarthritis with associated mechanical symptoms. In addition, patients with long-standing, unresolved hip joint pain and positive physical findings may benefit from arthroscopic evaluation. Patients with reproducible symptoms and physical findings that reveal limited functioning, and who have failed an adequate trial of conservative treatment will have the greatest likelihood of success after surgical intervention. Strict attention to thorough diagnostic examination, detailed imaging, and adherence to safe and reproducible surgical techniques, as described in this review, are essential for the success of this procedure.

Simultaneous Bilateral Hip Arthroscopy.

Project description:Many patients are afflicted with painful conditions affecting both hips, most commonly femoroacetabular impingement. Some patients prefer the advantage of undergoing a single surgical procedure and anesthetic followed by a single postoperative rehabilitation program. We present a Technical Note on single-stage bilateral hip arthroscopy. This Technical Note reports on key steps enabling safe and efficient performance of bilateral arthroscopic acetabuloplasty, labral refixation, femoroplasty, and dynamic testing while limiting traction times and facilitating rapid transition to the second hip arthroscopic surgery. Enabling factors include supine positioning with bilateral mobile leg spars, rapid surgical and hip traction times, and postoperative rehabilitation with immediate weight bearing as tolerated. A rationale for deciding which hip should undergo arthroscopy first is also offered. Concurrent bilateral hip arthroscopy is a viable option for select patients and experienced surgical teams, enabling potentially expedited recovery and return to work or sport with inherent cost savings.

Modifications to the Hip Arthroscopy Technique When Performing Combined Hip Arthroscopy and Periacetabular Osteotomy.

Project description:In the realm of hip preservation, hip arthroscopy is often used to address intra-articular impingement pathology, whereas periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is used to address dysplasia and instability. Indications to combine these 2 procedures include hip dysplasia and symptomatic instability with a concomitant symptomatic labral tear or the other symptomatic intra-articular pathology (i.e., loose body, chondral flap). The arthroscopic portion of the procedure allows repair of the injured labrum and close inspection of the hip joint, and the PAO addresses undercoverage and/or inappropriate version of the acetabulum. The open approach used in PAO also allows access to the peripheral compartment to debride a cam lesion, if present, and the subspine region is accessible to perform subspine decompression, if needed. In this technique, we highlight special considerations pertaining to hip arthroscopy that is performed in combination with a PAO. Hip arthroscopy is the first procedure that takes place in this combined case, and modifications to the standard hip arthroscopic technique can prevent unnecessary difficulty during the PAO that follows.

Hip Arthroscopy for Femoral Acetabular Impingement: A Bird's-Eye/En Face Perspective With Ultrasound Guidance and 3-Dimensional Hip Printing.

Project description:Femoral acetabular impingement is a common hip disorder that may prove debilitating to many patients. Surgical management is indicated by way of hip arthroscopy for impinging CAM and pincer acetabular lesions. Traditionally, fluoroscopy has been used for the intraoperative assessment of bony resection; however, many disadvantages include radiation risks, equipment demands, and more. With ultrasound-guided arthroscopy, we describe the use of 1:1 3-dimensional hip printed models through various visual perspectives of impinging lesions. Given the low cost of 3-dimensional hip printing, lack of radiation exposure, and tactile multiangular views, we propose a safer and more reproducible intraoperative technique to conventional fluoroscopy to achieve better resection and outcomes after femoral acetabular impingement surgery.
