Etiology and Pathomechanics of Femoroacetabular Impingement.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Femoroacetabular impingement is a common cause of hip pain in young patients and has been shown to progress to osteoarthritis. The purpose of this review is to better understand the development of femoroacetabular impingement. RECENT FINDINGS:Recent literature shows little genetic transmission of FAI. However, molecular studies show strong similarities with the cartilage in osteoarthritis. The development of cam lesions has a strong association with sports participation, particularly at the time of physeal closure suggesting abnormal development. Lumbar, pelvis, and femoral biomechanics may also play an important role in dynamic impingement. In summary, femoroacetabular impingement is a dynamic process with many influences. Further research is needed to clarify the pathophysiology of FAI development in hopes of finding preventative options to reduce symptoms and progression to osteoarthritis.

Project description:IntroductionFemoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) is a hip pathology characterized by impingement of the femoral head-neck junction against the acetabular rim, due to abnormalities in bone morphology. FAI is normally diagnosed by manual evaluation of morphologic features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, we assess, for the first time, the feasibility of using radiomics to detect FAI by automatically extracting quantitative features from images.Material and methods17 patients diagnosed with monolateral FAI underwent pre-surgical MR imaging, including a 3D Dixon sequence of the pelvis. An expert radiologist drew regions of interest on the water-only Dixon images outlining femur and acetabulum in both impingement (IJ) and healthy joints (HJ). 182 radiomic features were extracted for each hip. The dataset numerosity was increased by 60 times with an ad-hoc data augmentation tool. Features were subdivided by type and region in 24 subsets. For each, a univariate ANOVA F-value analysis was applied to find the 5 features most correlated with IJ based on p-value, for a total of 48 subsets. For each subset, a K-nearest neighbor model was trained to differentiate between IJ and HJ using the values of the radiomic features in the subset as input. The training was repeated 100 times, randomly subdividing the data with 75%/25% training/testing.ResultsThe texture-based gray level features yielded the highest prediction max accuracy (0.972) with the smallest subset of features. This suggests that the gray image values are more homogeneously distributed in the HJ in comparison to IJ, which could be due to stress-related inflammation resulting from impingement.ConclusionsWe showed that radiomics can automatically distinguish IJ from HJ using water-only Dixon MRI. To our knowledge, this is the first application of radiomics for FAI diagnosis. We reported an accuracy greater than 97%, which is higher than the 90% accuracy for detecting FAI reported for standard diagnostic tests (90%). Our proposed radiomic analysis could be combined with methods for automated joint segmentation to rapidly identify patients with FAI, avoiding time-consuming radiological measurements of bone morphology.
