Evaluation of hip arthroscopy using a hip-specific distractor for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement.


ABSTRACT:

Background and study aims

Hip arthroscopy using an orthopaedic traction table has been associated with traction-related neurovascular complications. Since the use of a hip-specific distractor for performing hip arthroscopy hasn't been associated with those specific complications we hypothesized that a hip-specific distractor might facilitate the learning curve of hip arthroscopy for beginner surgeons.

Material and methods

We reviewed retrospectively the first 56 hip arthroscopies performed to treat femoro-acetabular impingement using a hip-specific distractor. We tried to analyse the learning curve of this procedure using operative time, peri- and postoperative complications, hospital stay and patient satisfaction. We also evaluated pre- and postoperative sports activities and tried to identify some factors as poor postoperative prognostic factors.

Results

Only 1 major complication occurred. No traction-related complications have been encountered. The curves analysing intervention time and postoperative satisfaction rate showed improvement after 30 cases performed. In all cases, we were able to perform the whole planned gesture without difficulties accessing the hip joint.

Conclusion

The hip-specific distractor is a safe and reproducible method in performing hip arthroscopy without any traction-related complications or time limits.
