Posterior Femoral Cam Decompression Through an Arthroscopic Anterior Approach With Pre-Bent Hip Burrs.

ABSTRACT: Hip arthroscopy has been increasingly used to treat labral tears and cam and pincer lesions found in femoroacetabular impingement. Although the classic impingement with cam deformity at the proximal femoral anterolateral quadrant is most common, there has been evidence of cam impingement extension to the anteromedial and posterior quadrants of the proximal femur. Posterior cam decompression carries a theoretical risk of vascular insult and subsequent osteonecrosis, which have led investigators to approach these posterior lesions through an open surgical correction. Recent improvements have led to the development of pre-bent burs that allow for bonier resection flexibility. Here, we report on an arthroscopic posterior cam decompression using the traditional anterior portals and curved hip burs via a figure-of-four positioning technique.

Hip arthroscopy for challenging deformities: posterior cam decompression.

Project description:Since the classic description of cam femoroacetabular impingement occurring in the anterolateral quadrant of the proximal femur, there has been growing evidence of cam impingement extending outside of this region. Although anteromedial cam decompression may be performed, posterior cam decompression is at higher theoretic risk of vascular embarrassment with osteonecrosis and/or tensile failure with fracture, leading some investigators to believe that these major deformities require open surgical correction. We present a less invasive method of arthroscopic posterior cam decompression using the modified midanterior portal while avoiding the posterolateral vasculature of the proximal femur.

Capsule-Preserving Approach to Arthroscopic Decompression of the Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine.

Project description:Hip arthroscopy techniques have evolved to treat a wide range of extra-articular pathologies. Subspine impingement commonly occurs in femoroacetabular impingement, particularly in athletes with a high range of motion, patients with low degrees of femoral version, and those with large subspine deformities. A reliable technique that preserves the hip capsule would be helpful for hip arthroscopy surgeons. This note details our technique using pericapsular windows proximal to the interportal capsulotomy to access and decompress a subspine deformity in the setting of hip femoroacetabular impingement.

Hip Arthroscopic Management for Femoral Head Fractures and Posterior Acetabular Wall Fractures (Pipkin Type IV).

Project description:Femoral head fractures associated with acetabular fractures are usually treated by an open method. After a closed reduction of a hip dislocation, open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures usually depend on the type of acetabular fracture. Acetabular fractures associated with femoral head fractures, torn labrums, or osteochondral fractures are often managed simultaneously by a posterior approach. The patient in this study was referred to us because of pain and limited motion after open reduction and internal fixation of an acetabular fracture. Postoperative computed tomography showed remnant osteochondral fragments located in the cotyloid fossa. Using hip arthroscopy, we found a torn labrum and multiple osteochondral fragments in the cotyloid fossa. The avulsed torn labrum was reattached with 2 anchors through the midanterior portal. Osteochondral fragments were curetted and removed. This article reviews the treatment of the torn labrum and multiple fragments after acetabular fracture reduction. The patient recovered immediately and had a satisfactory outcome. We conclude that hip arthroscopy is a valuable option for treating femoral head fracture dislocations associated with acetabular fractures.

Endoscopic and arthroscopic assistance in femoral head core decompression.

Project description:Core decompression is a joint-preserving surgery feasible in early-stage avascular necrosis of the femoral head. An arthroscopically/endoscopically aided development of this procedure is presented to overcome some drawbacks of the standard technique. Conventional imaging may underestimate the articular damage; thus a preliminary hip arthroscopy helps to identify those patients with significant joint damage, who might not benefit from the procedure. The standard fluoroscopically guided core decompression does not allow precise targeting or reliable debridement of the lesion. Tunnel endoscopy helps the surgeon to aim precisely at the lesion and to debride it thoroughly, with accurate visual verification. In conclusion, the arthroscopic-endoscopic assistance may lead to more accurate patient selection, more precise targeting, and more complete debridement, with no apparent disadvantages.

Algorithmic soft tissue femoral release in anterior approach total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:Although the anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty has gained increasing utilization, some studies have suggested a higher risk of femoral complications, as well as difficulty with femoral exposure. Techniques of soft tissue releases have been described to offer better femoral exposure, and to help mitigate complications. The purpose of the study is to describe an algorithmic soft tissue femoral release in direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty and to assess the clinical outcomes of patients upon which this algorithm of femoral soft tissue releases was utilized. Clinical outcomes with the Harris Hip Score, reoperation rates, component survivorship, and complications were analyzed.

All-Anterior Approach for Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:We describe the all-anterior approach for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation. In this technique, PCL is reconstructed through 3 anterior portals: anterolateral portal, anteromedial portal, and inferior anterolateral portal, whereas the PCL remnant is preserved with great possibility. With the PCL elevator and wire catcher (Smith & Nephew), a self-made wire loop is introduced into the joint through the tibial tunnel, and is used to pass the graft in an all-inside-out fashion. In the transtibial PCL reconstruction technique, posterior portals are routinely adopted and the PCL remnant is often removed for good vision and adequate operative space, which can prolong surgery time and increase the potential risk of iatrogenic injury. In comparison, this technique not only simplifies the surgical procedure and reduces surgical trauma, but also preserves the remnant for our patients.

Arthroscopic-assisted core decompression for osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Project description:The management of pre-collapse osteonecrosis of the femoral head is controversial. Core decompression is a technique that theoretically decreases the intraosseous pressure of the femoral head, resulting in a local vascularized healing response. Its efficacy has been shown in delaying early subchondral collapse. We describe the technique of arthroscopic-assisted core decompression of the femoral head for osteonecrosis. The advantages of this technique include evaluation of the presence or absence of articular cartilage injury, subchondral collapse, and guidance during reaming and curettage. It also allows the ability to address any concomitant soft-tissue or bony pathology associated with or in addition to the osteonecrotic lesion.

Quality of the femoral cement mantle in total hip arthroplasty using the direct anterior hip approach.

Project description:BackgroundLimited literature exists concerning the femoral cement mantle quality that can be achieved through an anterior approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We radiologically evaluated the quality and thickness of the femoral cement mantle in patients undergoing THA utilizing the direct anterior approach (DAA).MethodsImmediate postoperative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of 116 consecutive patients who underwent hybrid or fully cemented THA using the DAA and cemented Quadra-C stem (Medacta, International, SA, Switzerland) were assessed by 2 arthroplasty surgeons blinded to the study. Surgical indications were hip osteoarthritis or subcapital hip fracture. The cement mantle and stem alignment were evaluated using the Barrack classification and Khalily methods, respectively. After calibration of radiographs, the thinnest part of the cement mantle per Gruen zone was recorded. Parameters were compared between obese and nonobese patients.ResultsAgreement between raters was substantial for the cement quality in anteroposterior (k = 0.707, P ≤ .001) and moderate for lateral radiographs (k = 0.574, P ≤ 001). The cement mantle was graded A in 39.25%, B in 53.0%, and C in 7.75% of anteroposterior radiographs and similarly for lateral radiographs (40.1% A, 51.75% B, 9.5% C). 93% of stems had neutral alignment. The mean thinnest cement mantle (P = .237) and incidence of inadequate cement mantle (<2 mm) per zone (P = .431) were comparable between Gruen zones. The cement mantle quality (P = .174) and inadequacy (P > .05) and stem alignment (P = .652) were comparable between obese and nonobese patients.ConclusionsDAA enables correct implantation and effective cementation of straight femoral stems. A high-quality cement mantle can be achieved using DAA even in obese patients.

Arthroscopic Femoral Osteochondroplasty for Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement: The Trough Technique.

Project description:Arthroscopic osteochondroplasty has become the most common treatment for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. However, gauging the appropriate depth and location of the femoral osteochondroplasty remains challenging, given the parallax observed from using a 70° arthroscope across multiple viewing perspectives. Consequently, reliable techniques must use a combination of arthroscopic and fluoroscopic checks and balances to assess the femoral head-neck junction to help guide bony resection. We have developed a technique for osteochondroplasty that has made the process more efficient and reliable in our hands. It involves creating a trough at the apex of the osteochondroplasty and then contouring the proximal and distal regions to re-create normal proximal femoral geometry. This article details our technique for femoral osteochondroplasty, which can be performed alone for isolated cam impingement or in concert with other intra- and extra-articular procedures to address associated hip pathology.
