Prospective, Observational Study of Opioid Use After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To provide estimates of postoperative opioid use after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome and to identify risk factors for increased postoperative opioid use. METHODS:All patients aged at least 18 years who were undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI syndrome performed by 1 of 2 hip-preservation surgeons between November 2015 and August 2016 were eligible for inclusion in this study. Target minimum enrollment was set at 30 patients per surgeon based on an a priori sample size calculation. Enrolled patients completed the International Hip Outcome Tool, visual analog pain scale, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, abbreviated Patient Health Questionnaire, and questions regarding demographic characteristics and opioid and anti-inflammatory use. Opioid consumption was assessed through pill counting at 2- and 6-week postoperative appointments. Of 80 patients enrolled, 67 had complete 2- and 6-week opioid use data. Patient and operative factors were correlated with outcomes in multivariate models. RESULTS:Opioid use in the 2 weeks before surgery was significantly associated with higher postoperative opioid use at 2 weeks postoperatively (253.8 additional oral morphine equivalents [OMEs]; 95% confidence interval [CI], 171.2-336.5 additional OMEs; P < .0001; n = 73) and 6 weeks postoperatively (385.3 additional OMEs; 95% CI, 241.6-529.0 additional OMEs; P < .0001; n = 67). By 6 weeks postoperatively, 41 of 52 patients (79%) without opioid use in the 2 weeks before surgery used 30 or fewer 5-mg oxycodone pills compared with only 2 of 15 patients (13%) with preoperative use (odds ratio, 24.9; 95% CI, 4.2-148.5; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS:Among patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI syndrome, any opioid use in the 2 weeks preceding surgery was the strongest predictor of opioid use after hip arthroscopy. The impact of preoperative opioid use far exceeded the impact of other baseline patient and operative factors. Assessment of preoperative opioid use could be an important factor in guiding postoperative opioid prescribing. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level II, prospective observational study.

Project description:BackgroundFemoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is most commonly diagnosed in athletes who sustain repetitive flexion and rotational loading to their hip. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a patient's ability to return to cycling after hip arthroscopy for FAIS.HypothesisThere is a high rate of return to cycling after hip arthroscopy.Study designRetrospective analysis.Level of evidenceLevel 4.MethodsConsecutive patients who had identified themselves as cyclists and had undergone hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAIS were reviewed. Pre- and postoperative physical examinations, imaging, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) scores, including the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL) and Sports-Specific (HOS-SS) subscales, and visual analog scale for pain, as well as a cycling-specific questionnaire, were assessed for all patients.ResultsA total of 58 patients (62% female; mean age, 30.0 ± 7.1 years; mean body mass index, 23.2 ± 2.7 kg/m2) were included. Prior to surgery, patients averaged 30 ± 42 miles per week (range, 2-300 miles). Fifty-five patients (95%) were forced to discontinue cycling at an average of 7.5 ± 6.2 months prior to surgery due to hip pain. Fifty-six patients (97%) returned to cycling at an average of 4.5 ± 2.5 months after surgery, with 33 (59%) returning to a better level of cycling and 23 (41%) to the same cycling level. Postoperatively, there was no difference in the average number of miles patients completed per week compared with preoperative values ( P = 0.08). At a mean follow-up of 31.14 ± 0.71 months (range, 24-48 months), all patients experienced significant improvements in mHHS, HOS-ADL, and HOS-SS PROs (all P < 0.0001), with an overall satisfaction rate of 91% ± 13%.ConclusionRecreational and competitive cyclists return to cycling 97% of the time after hip arthroscopy for FAIS, with most of these patients returning at an average of 4.5 months after surgery. This information is helpful in counseling patients on their expectations with regard to returning to cycling after hip arthroscopy for FAIS.Clinical relevanceCyclists return to sport 97% of the time at an average of 4.5 months after hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) may experience lasting clinical improvement after hip arthroscopy; however, some patients will still eventually undergo early conversion to THA due to unresolved symptoms and progression of arthritis. However, the risk of this has been only incompletely characterized in prior studies.Questions/purposesUsing a large healthcare claims database over a 5-year period (2011-2016), we asked: (1) What is the survivorship free from THA after arthroscopic osteoplasty performed for FAI? (2) What identifiable demographic factors and patient characteristics are associated with early conversion to THA after hip arthroscopy performed for FAI?MethodsWe included all patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAI, between the ages of 12 years and 63 years, with 3 months of claims data before hip arthroscopy and minimum 2-year follow-up. A total of 4730 hip arthroscopy patients from 2011 to 2014 were retrieved from a US commercial claims database. Hip arthroscopy incidence doubled over time from 1.2 to 2.1 persons per 100,000. Temporal trends, patient demographics, diagnoses at time of arthroscopy, and patient comorbidities were retrieved and logistic regression performed. Survivorship analysis on 11,323 patients (lifting the 2-year follow-up requirement) was also performed to identify independent variables associated with early risk of conversion to THA.ResultsIn patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI, the overall proportion of conversion to THA within 2 years after hip arthroscopy was 7% (338 of 4730). After controlling for confounding variables such as sex, obesity, and depression, we found the following were independently associated with increased odds of conversion to THA: older age (odds ratio 1.08 [95% CI 1.01 to 1.10]; p < 0.001), osteoarthritis (OR 2.91 [95% CI 2.27 to 3.77]; p < 0.001), joint inflammation (OR 1.89 [95% CI 1.16 to 3.09]; p = 0.01), and a history of opioid use (OR 2.17 [95% CI 1.69 to 2.79]; p < 0.001). Survivorship analysis similarly revealed that older age (hazard ratio 1.08 [95% CI 1.07 to 1.09]; p < 0.001), osteoarthritis (HR 2.53 [95% CI 2.13 to 3.01]; p < 0.001), joint inflammation (HR 1.53 [95% CI 1.10 to 2.11]; p = 0.01), a history of opioid use (HR 2.02 [95% CI 1.71 to 2.38]; p < 0.001), and smoking (HR 1.55 [95% CI 1.14 to 2.11]; p = 0.005), were independently associated with increased odds of conversion to THA within 2 years after hip arthroscopy for FAI.ConclusionsAlthough the findings of this study are limited and should not be taken in isolation, patients with FAI who are older, carry diagnoses of inflammatory or degenerative articular disease, or who use opioids or smoke should be counseled about a potentially increased risk of undergoing early conversion to THA after hip arthroscopy. Future studies to further examine the effect of these diagnoses in prospectively collected cohorts, incorporating radiographic and patient-reported outcome measures, are needed.Level of evidenceLevel III, prognostic study.
