Hip Joint Stresses Due to Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Systematic Review of Finite Element Simulations.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The cam deformity causes the anterosuperior femoral head to obstruct with the acetabulum, resulting in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and elevated risks of early osteoarthritis. Several finite element models have simulated adverse loading conditions due to cam FAI, to better understand the relationship between mechanical stresses and cartilage degeneration. Our purpose was to conduct a systematic review and examine the previous finite element models and simulations that examined hip joint stresses due to cam FAI. METHODS:The systematic review was conducted to identify those finite element studies of cam-type FAI. The review conformed to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and studies that reported hip joint contact pressures or stresses were included in the quantitative synthesis. RESULTS:Nine articles studied FAI morphologies using finite element methods and were included in the qualitative synthesis. Four articles specifically examined contact pressures and stresses due to cam FAI and were included in the quantitative synthesis. The studies demonstrated that cam FAI resulted in substantially elevated contact pressures (median = 10.4 MPa, range = 8.5-12.2 MPa) and von Mises stresses (median 15.5 MPa, range = 15.0-16.0 MPa) at the acetabular cartilage; and elevated maximum-shear stress on the bone (median = 15.2 MPa, range = 14.3-16.0 MPa), in comparison with control hips, during large amplitudes of hip motions. Many studies implemented or adapted idealized, ball-and-cup, parametric models to predict stresses, along with homogeneous bone material properties and in vivo instrumented prostheses loading data. CONCLUSION:The formulation of a robust subject-specific FE model, to delineate the pathomechanisms of FAI, remains an ongoing challenge. The available literature provides clear insight into the estimated stresses due to the cam deformity and provides an assessment of its risks leading to early joint degeneration.

Project description:Hip arthroscopy is one of the most rapidly growing fields in orthopaedic surgery. One of the most frequent pathologies treated with hip arthroscopy remains femoroacetabular impingement, which is addressed by labral repair and femoral osteoplasty. The most commonly cited reason for failure of arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement is under-resection of the cam lesion. Surgeons frequently use evaluations of preoperative images, intraoperative fluoroscopy, and dynamic range of motion to ensure adequate resection. In this article, we describe a reproducible and standardized technique to assist in appropriate resection. This is achieved by a 2-tiered resection technique: Tier 1 aims to set the depth of resection and restore the head-neck offset. Tier 2 then matches the depth of the resection set by tier 1 and allows for retention of appropriate transition of the proximal convexity to the distal concavity seen in more ideally shaped femoral heads. With this technique, we offer a tool to avoid under-resection in the area of maximal conflict while simultaneously minimizing the risk of proximal over-resection and thus compromising the fluid seal dynamics of the joint in deeper flexion angles. Technique Video Video 1 Visualization of femoral osteoplasty from distal anterolateral portal. The resection begins with visual inspection and localization of important anatomy including the lateral retinacular vessels. The osteoplasty ensues in a 2-tiered manner. The tier 1 resection is begun 1.5 burr widths distal to the articular surface margin with the goal to create the depth of resection required to re-create the native head-neck offset. This is also confirmed with fluoroscopic imaging from the Dunn lateral view to identify the physeal scar as the proximal extent of the osteoplasty. During the tier 1 resection, the proximal head-neck junction is contoured to achieve sphericity. The tier 2 resection is then begun distal to tier 1 with the goal of matching the depth and resecting the remainder of the cam. Finally, attention is turned back to the head-neck junction with the goal of creating a smooth, spherical head via gentle contouring. During the resection, multiple views through the distal anterolateral portal are used to gather a greater perspective of the resection. At the completion of the procedure, evaluation of dynamic hip range of motion under direct visualization, along with fluoroscopic imaging, is used to ensure adequate resection of the cam lesion.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough the association between femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome and hip osteoarthritis (OA) is well established, not all hips exhibiting cam or pincer morphologies (i.e. imaging findings of FAI syndrome) are symptomatic or arthritic. It is difficult to detect which subgroup will wear out, or how does the arthritic process start radiographically. Therefore, we measured in a retrospective study based on computed tomography (CT) analysis, the joint space width (JSW) according to a standard protocol and we investigated its variation according to the presence of a cam and/or pincer morphology. We hypothesized that the radiological presence of a cam and/or pincer hip morphologies, even in asymptomatic subjects, would affect JSW.MethodsTwo hundred pelvic CT scans performed for non-orthopedic etiologies in asymptomatic patients were analyzed using a 3D software. After excluding patients with hip OA or previous hip surgery, 194 pelvic CT scans (388 hips) were retained. We measured for each hip the presence of FAI syndrome imaging findings (cam and pincer morphologies) using the classical parameters of coxometry. In addition, we performed a measurement of articular joint space width according to a standard protocol. We then calculated the mean thickness of 3 defined regions along the femoroacetabular joint: anterior-superior, posterior-inferior, and posterior-superior. Lastly, we compared the JSW across 4 groups: hips with (1) no cam or pincer, (2) pincer, (3) cam, and (4) cam and pincer morphologies using a multivariate analysis. Additionally, a topographic heatmap of JSW was plotted allowing quantitative representation of JSW along the joint.ResultsIncreased JSW with peak difference of 0.9 mm (25.7%) was found in hips with cam and pincer morphologies when compared to normal ones (p = 0.002) and to hips with pincer or cam morphologies only.ConclusionPositive variations in JSW were associated to the presence of cam and pincer morphologies. This significant increase in JSW could be one of the earliest measurable changes preceding later classical alterations.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate clinical depression scores and functional outcomes following arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome in patients with elevated preoperative depressive symptoms as defined by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System for Depression (PROMIS-D).MethodsPatients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome completed the PROMIS-D Computer Adaptive Test and additional patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures preoperatively and at the time of postoperative visits. Patients were categorized into preoperative clinically depressed (CD) and nonclinically depressed (NCD) groups based on preoperative PROMIS-D scores. Scores ≥55 correlate to mild clinical depression, and this cutoff was used to determine preoperative depression status. PROMIS-D scores and functional outcome scores were assessed at 6 months and a minimum of 1-year postoperatively.ResultsIn total, 100 patients were included with complete PROs at a minimum of 1-year follow-up. Of those included, 21 (21%) were categorized with preoperative CD. There were no differences in demographic or radiographic variables between the preoperative CD and NCD groups. At 6 months and 12 months postoperatively, the percentage of patients in the preoperative CD group with continued depression was 33.3% and 23.8%, respectively. Overall, 1-year change in PROMIS-D score for the CD group was -9.1 versus -0.8 in the NCD group (P = .001). There was no significant difference in rates of patients achieving patient acceptable symptom state between the preoperative CD and NCD groups.ConclusionsPatients with symptoms of preoperative CD, as defined by the PROMIS-D score, demonstrated significant improvement in depressive symptoms following hip arthroscopy. In addition, patients with CD preoperatively did not show decreased rates of achieving minimum clinically important difference or patient acceptable symptom state on postoperative PROs compared with patients with NCD.Level of evidenceLevel IV, therapeutic case series.
