Influence of Femoral Version on the Outcomes of Hip Arthroscopic Surgery for Femoroacetabular Impingement or Labral Tears: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It remains controversial whether abnormal femoral version (FV) affects the outcomes of hip arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) or labral tears.

Purpose

To review the outcomes of hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI or labral tears in patients with normal versus abnormal FV.

Study design

Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Methods

Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library were searched in July 2020 for studies reporting the outcomes after primary hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI or labral tears in patients with femoral retroversion (<5°), femoral anteversion (>20°), or normal FV (5°-20°). The primary outcome was the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and secondary outcomes were the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Hip Outcome Score-Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), failure rate, and patient satisfaction. The difference in preoperative and postoperative scores (Δ) was also calculated when applicable.

Results

Included in this review were 5 studies with 822 patients who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI or labral tears; there were 166 patients with retroversion, 512 patients with normal version, and 144 patients with anteversion. Patients with retroversion and normal version had similar postoperative mHHS scores (mean difference [MD], 2.42 [95% confidence interval (CI), -3.42 to 8.26]; P = .42) and ΔmHHS scores (MD, -0.70 [96% CI, -8.56 to 7.15]; P = .86). Likewise, the patients with anteversion and normal version had similar postoperative mHHS scores (MD, -3.09 [95% CI, -7.66 to 1.48]; P = .18) and ΔmHHS scores (MD, -1.92 [95% CI, -6.18 to 2.34]; P = .38). Regarding secondary outcomes, patients with retroversion and anteversion had similar ΔNAHS scores, ΔHOS-SSS scores, ΔVAS scores, patient satisfaction, and failure rates to those with normal version, although a significant difference was found between the patients with retroversion and normal version regarding postoperative NAHS scores (MD, 5.96 [95% CI, 1.66-10.26]; P = .007) and postoperative HOS-SSS scores (MD, 7.32 [95% CI, 0.19-14.44]; P = .04).

Conclusion

The results of this review indicated that abnormal FV did not significantly influence outcomes after hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI or labral tears.

Project description:ContextSymptomatic femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a painful condition that leads to decreased function. How walking gait changes over time within the first year after surgery for FAIS and how these changes present in women are currently unknown.ObjectiveTo determine biomechanical gait differences between women with FAIS or labral tears and control individuals preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively.DesignCase-control study.SettingLaboratory.Patients or other participantsA total of 18 female participants comprising 9 women in the FAIS group (age = 31.44 ± 7.47 years, height = 1.73 ± 0.08 m, mass = 73.61 ± 14.44 kg) and 9 women in the control group (age = 31.44 ± 6.65 years, height = 1.69 ± 0.06 m, mass = 60.93 ± 5.58 kg).Main outcome measure(s)Between-groups comparisons of the Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living subscale (HOSADL) and gait biomechanics were conducted preoperatively and at the 3- and 6-month postoperative sessions. Statistical parametric mapping was performed on normalized time-series data.ResultsPreoperatively, the FAIS group had poor HOSADL scores (FAIS group = 64.1 ± 15.4 versus control group = 100.0 ± 0, P < .001), walked 15% slower, and exhibited several gait differences compared with the control group. Three months postoperatively, the FAIS group displayed greater vertical ground reaction force (P = .01), ankle-dorsiflexion angle (P = .02), and external dorsiflexion moment (P = .01) in midstance, as well as a greater knee-flexion angle through the second half of stance (P < .001). The FAIS group also demonstrated less hip-extension angle (P = .02) and hip-abduction angle (P = .01) through the second half of stance, which transitioned into less hip extension (P = .040) and hip abduction (P = .03) during the subsequent swing phase. The FAIS group improved their HOSADL to 87.6 ± 7.6 by 6 months postoperatively and had a greater dorsiflexion moment (P = .003) and ankle external rotation during stance (P = .03). In addition, the FAIS group showed a greater external hip external-rotation moment in late stance (P < .001).ConclusionsThe biomechanical differences between groups were most evident at 3 months postoperatively, suggesting that women with FAIS had more postoperative gait compensations in the short term after surgery. By 6 months postoperatively, patient-reported outcomes had markedly improved, and the FAIS group displayed few gait differences compared with the control group.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) are offered hip arthroscopic surgery to decrease hip pain, improve their function, and decrease development of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Nonetheless, long-term follow-up data are few.PurposeTo investigate patient-reported outcomes, clinical tests, reoperations, and radiographic status 5 years after primary hip arthroscopy in patients with FAIS.Study designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.MethodsA total of 60 patients (age, 36 ± 9 years; 63% female) diagnosed with FAIS were included in the study and followed for 5 years after hip arthroscopy. Follow-up included Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS); Hip Sports Activity Scale; and clinical tests (flexion, adduction, internal rotation [FADIR]; flexion, abduction, external rotation [FABER]; and psoas muscle/tendon major pain provocation). Radiographic evaluation included lateral joint-space width (LJSW) and Tönnis classification for hip OA. Reoperations and conversion to total hip replacement (THR) were recorded. We calculated the proportion of patients who exceeded the minimal important change (MIC), achieved the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), and were within the 95% reference interval of age- and sex-matched persons with no hip problems. Changes were investigated using paired t tests.ResultsCompared with preoperatively, all HAGOS subscales were improved substantially 5 years after surgery (mean, ≥21 points; P < .001), and 67% to 89% of patients reported improvements exceeding MIC. Between 56% and 80% achieved PASS, but only 7% to 24% reached the 95% reference interval for the HAGOS subscales. A total of 36% had a positive FADIR test and 25% had a positive FABER test, which were improvements compared with preoperatively (P < .001 for both). Patients with a positive FADIR test had significantly worse HAGOS subscales. Six patients (10%) had a THR since their primary hip arthroscopy. In the remaining patients, the mean LJSW was decreased (-0.4 mm; P = .043), and hip OA had worsened in 9 patients (23%; P = .003).ConclusionFive years after surgery, the majority of patients experienced HAGOS improvements exceeding MIC while also showing an acceptable PASS. However, clinical tests, participation in physical activities, and quality of life indicated that many patients still experience hip problems.RegistrationNCT04590924 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier).

Project description:PurposeThis study sought to investigate the association between tomographic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) angles and histologically evaluated labral tears. The authors hypothesized that cadavers presenting with cam and pincer morphologies would present a higher prevalence of acetabular labral tears.MethodsTwenty fresh cadavers were submitted to computed tomography. Standard FAI angles were measured, including the alpha angle, femoral version, acetabular version, Tonnis angle and center-edge angle. A cam lesion was defined as an alpha angle greater than 50o. A pincer lesion was defined as a center-edge angle greater than 40o, a Tonnis angle less than 0o or acetabular version less than 0o. After dissection, three fragments of each acetabulum, corresponding to the antero-superior, superior and postero-superior acetabular rim, were obtained. These fragments were submitted to routine histological preparation. Each slide was evaluated for possible labral tears. Tears were classified according to their Seldes type.ResultsThe mean age of the cadavers was 50.2 years (SD: 7.4; 13 males). Sixteen (80%) of the cadavers had a cam lesion, and eight cadavers (40%) had a pincer lesion. Histologically, 16 (80%) of the cadavers had a labral tear in at least one region. According to the Seldes classification, 60.7% and 28.6% of these labral tears were type 1 and type 2, respectively. A mixed type of labral tear (10.7%), which represented a new form of Seldes tear, was described. Cadavers with a labral tear had significantly higher alpha angles than other cadavers (53.29o vs 49.33o, p = 0.01). Pincer lesions were not associated with labral tears. We found no association between pincer or cam lesions and Seldes classification.ConclusionCadavers presenting with higher alpha angles had a higher incidence of labral tears. No association was found between FAI and Seldes classification.Clinical relevanceThis study demonstrated a high prevalence of FAI abnormalities associated with histological alterations in a cadaveric sample. Joint damage may be present in the early stages of FAI.
