The Horsens-Aarhus Femoro Acetabular Impingement (HAFAI) cohort: outcome of arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement. Protocol for a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:During the past decade, it has become increasingly more common to offer hip arthroscopic surgery when treating people with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Nevertheless, the latest reviews conclude that it still remains to be properly investigated how surgery affects the patients. Specifically, detailed information on the functional, muscular and mechanical impact of surgery in larger groups is lacking. Furthermore, the long-term outcome of the surgery is still to be investigated. METHODS AND ANALYSIS:In this prospective cohort study, a total of 60 patients with FAI scheduled for arthroscopic surgery will be followed and tested preoperatively, and again after 3, 6, 9 and 12?months. Assessment includes isokinetic dynamometry evaluating hip flexion and extension; evaluation of functional capacity in a three-dimensional motion laboratory; pain assessment; self-reported function, quality of life, expectation and satisfaction with the surgery; recording of previous and present sporting activities and accelerometry. In addition, data on surgical procedure, rehabilitation progress, adverse events and failure will be recorded. Patients will be compared with an age-matched and gender-matched reference group of 30 persons with no hip, knee, ankle or back problems. Long-term follow-up of this cohort may evaluate possible reoperations and development of hip osteoarthritis. Furthermore, analysis on how subgroups respond to the treatment could be performed together with identification of possible "non-responders". ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION:The study is approved by the Central Denmark Region Committee on Biomedical Research Ethics (Journal No 1-10-72-239-14). The results from this study will be presented at national and international congresses and published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:NCT02306525.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) are offered hip arthroscopic surgery to decrease hip pain, improve their function, and decrease development of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Nonetheless, long-term follow-up data are few.PurposeTo investigate patient-reported outcomes, clinical tests, reoperations, and radiographic status 5 years after primary hip arthroscopy in patients with FAIS.Study designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.MethodsA total of 60 patients (age, 36 ± 9 years; 63% female) diagnosed with FAIS were included in the study and followed for 5 years after hip arthroscopy. Follow-up included Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS); Hip Sports Activity Scale; and clinical tests (flexion, adduction, internal rotation [FADIR]; flexion, abduction, external rotation [FABER]; and psoas muscle/tendon major pain provocation). Radiographic evaluation included lateral joint-space width (LJSW) and Tönnis classification for hip OA. Reoperations and conversion to total hip replacement (THR) were recorded. We calculated the proportion of patients who exceeded the minimal important change (MIC), achieved the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), and were within the 95% reference interval of age- and sex-matched persons with no hip problems. Changes were investigated using paired t tests.ResultsCompared with preoperatively, all HAGOS subscales were improved substantially 5 years after surgery (mean, ≥21 points; P < .001), and 67% to 89% of patients reported improvements exceeding MIC. Between 56% and 80% achieved PASS, but only 7% to 24% reached the 95% reference interval for the HAGOS subscales. A total of 36% had a positive FADIR test and 25% had a positive FABER test, which were improvements compared with preoperatively (P < .001 for both). Patients with a positive FADIR test had significantly worse HAGOS subscales. Six patients (10%) had a THR since their primary hip arthroscopy. In the remaining patients, the mean LJSW was decreased (-0.4 mm; P = .043), and hip OA had worsened in 9 patients (23%; P = .003).ConclusionFive years after surgery, the majority of patients experienced HAGOS improvements exceeding MIC while also showing an acceptable PASS. However, clinical tests, participation in physical activities, and quality of life indicated that many patients still experience hip problems.RegistrationNCT04590924 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier).

Project description:BackgroundFemoroacetabular impingement is increasingly recognized as a cause of hip pain but its incidence after an innominate osteotomy for the correction of acetabular dysplasia has not been determined. This information would be essential for the orthopaedic surgeon because it has the potential to produce a poor outcome in the long term when trying to balance acetabular instability and overcorrection.Questions/purposesThe purposes of our study were (1) to determine the frequency with which clinically relevant femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) occurs after an innominate osteotomy for the treatment of acetabular dysplasia; (2) to determine risk factors for the development of FAI; and (3) to compare postoperative radiographic and clinical outcomes in patients having undergone an innominate osteotomy for the correction of acetabular dysplasia both with and without FAI.MethodsThis was a retrospective review of 154 hips (132 patients) that had undergone an innominate osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia and were evaluated at a minimum followup of 10 years (mean = 12 years). Mean age at the time of surgery was 3 years, 114 hips had a concomitant open reduction, and 54 hips also had femoral shortening. One hundred eight hips had a Salter osteotomy and 46 had a Pemberton osteotomy. Radiographs were analyzed to determine the lateral center-edge angle (CE angle) and the presence of a crossover sign. The diagnosis of FAI was established when the CE angle was greater than 40°, there was a positive crossover sign, and the patient had groin pain when flexing the hip less than 90°. Comparisons between nonparametric variables were performed with a Mann-Whitney's U test. Categorical variables were compared with a chi-square test. Change in acetabular index (correction) was dichotomized considering 20° of correction as the cutoff point. Association is presented as odds ratio (95% confidence interval), and logistic regression was performed.ResultsAccording to our criteria, 18 of 154 hips had FAI (12%). Of the 18 patients with FAI, 10 had undergone a Pemberton osteotomy (10 of 46 [22%]) and eight a Salter osteotomy (eight of 108 [7%]). A change in the postoperative acetabular index greater than 20° was associated with a greater likelihood of developing FAI. The mean postoperative acetabular index was lower for the group with FAI, for whom it was 20°, compared with the group without FAI, for whom it was 27° (p = 0.04). The mean Iowa Hip Score for the group with FAI was 85, whereas for those without FAI, it was 93 (p = 0.03).ConclusionsFAI is not common after an innominate osteotomy for the treatment of acetabular dysplasia; however, overcorrection is related to a higher incidence. When FAI is present, it can affect the outcome. Overcorrection should be avoided when performing an innominate osteotomy for the treatment of acetabular dysplasia because it can create iatrogenic FAI and have an adverse effect on outcome.Level of evidenceLevel III, therapeutic study.
