Abstract
The hip cartilage and labrum, as the main targets of femoroacetabular impingement, sports-related or traumatic damage, as well as congenital and developmental abnormalities, have attracted increasing attention with the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hip arthroscopy. MRI is a commonly used imaging modality to noninvasively visualize the hip cartilage and labral lesions. However, conventional orthogonal MRI planes encounter unique challenges given the ball-and-socket configuration of the hip joint, its anatomically abducted and anteverted orientation, and the thin, closely apposed cartilage enveloping the femoral head and acetabulum. Advancements in hip MRI's radial plane, which is acquired through the center of the hip joint, offer a solution. This technology provides true cross-sectional images of the cartilage and labrum perpendicular to the curvature of the joint, thereby mitigating the partial-volume-averaging effects. The integration of 3.0-Tesla high field strength and three-dimensional (3D) acquisition techniques further enhances the capabilities of the radial plane. This combination yields a high signal-to-noise ratio, high spatial resolution, high contrast between intraarticular structures, while minimizing partial-volume-averaging effects. Such improvements potentially facilitate the comprehensive detection of even minor chondral and labral lesions. The capability for multiplanar reconstruction from a single 3D volumetric acquisition further strengthens the usefulness of the radial plane by aiding in precise localization of hip cartilage and labral lesions, in line with hip arthroscopy findings. These advancements have the potential to standardize MRI evaluations and radiographic reporting systems for hip cartilage and labrum, offering precise guidance for hip arthroscopy. This article presents a comprehensive review of radial plane technology applied to the hip MRI, and discusses the morphological assessment and localization of hip cartilage and labral lesions utilizing this advanced imaging technique. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 5 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

Arthroscopy 2023; 39:1440-1450. [PMID: 36621580 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2022.12.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purposes of our study were 1) to investigate the potential change of labral size after arthroscopic repair and 2) to analyze the relationship between acetabular labral size and functional outcomes. METHODS In this retrospective study, patients diagnosed with labral tear and undergoing hip arthroscopic repair in our institution between September 2016 and December 2018 were included. Magnetic resonance imaging was obtained preoperatively and postoperatively, and the labral length and labral height were measured in three anatomic sites: 11:30, 1:30, and 3:00 positions. All patients completed at least 2-year follow-up. Patients whose preoperative labral size in any position wider than 2 standard deviation away from the mean were identified as the hypertrophic labrum group and were compared with the control in radiographic variables and patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including the visual analog scale (VAS), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), the International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12) and the Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL). RESULTS A total of 82 patients (82 hips) were included, and the mean follow-up period was 39.54 ± 8.48 months. Significant improvement in PROs was determined before and after surgeries. Twelve patients were identified with labral hypertrophy and had higher postoperative mHHS scores, higher postoperative iHOT-12 scores, and greater improvement in HOS-ADL compared with the control group. Patients with larger preoperative anterosuperior labral height exhibited more favorable clinical outcomes. Meanwhile, no significantly morphologic change in labral size was determined. CONCLUSION There is no significantly morphologic change in labral size of superior, anterosuperior, and anterior labrum after arthroscopic repair. Patients with hypertrophic labrum achieved more favorable clinical outcomes compared with those with normal-sized labrum. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative prognostic trial.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the existing literature to determine the dimensions of the acetabular labrum, with a focus on hypotrophic labra, including the modalities and accuracy of measurement, factors associated with smaller labra, and any impacts on surgical management. METHODS Four databases (PubMed, Ovid [MEDLINE], Cochrane Database, and EMBASE) were searched from database inception to January 2020. Two reviewers screened the literature independently and in duplicate. Methodological quality of included papers was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) criteria. Where possible, data on labral size were combined using a random effects model. RESULTS Twenty-one studies (5 level II, 9 level III, 7 level IV) were identified. This resulted in 6,159 patients (6,436 hips) with a mean age of 34.3 years (range 8.4-85). The patients were 67.3% female with an average follow-up of 57.3 months. There was no consistent definition of labral size quoted throughout the literature. The mean width on MRI/MRA was 7.3 mm (95% CI 6.9-7.8 mm), on computed tomography arthrography was 8.7 mm (95% CI 8.0-9.3), and during arthroscopy was 5.0 mm (95% CI 4.9-5.2). Inter-observer reliability was good to excellent in all modalities. Labral hypotrophy may be associated with increased acetabular coverage. Hypertrophic labra were highly associated with acetabular dysplasia (r = - 0.706, - 0.596, - 0.504, respectively; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Labral width can reliably be measured utilizing imaging techniques including magnetic resonance and computed tomography. The pooled mean labral width was 6.2 mm, and height 4.6 mm. The establishment of a gold-standard of measurement on arthroscopy and advanced imaging would aid in clinical decision-making regarding treatment options for patients presenting with a painful hip, particularly those with hypoplastic labra, and provide radiological guidelines for standardized labrum size classifications.

Semin Arthritis Rheum 2016; 45:648-55. [PMID: 27162009 DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2016.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2015] [Revised: 01/26/2016] [Accepted: 04/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the evolution of MR imaging findings in normal volunteers and subjects with hip osteoarthritis (OA) over 1.5 years described by the semi-quantitative Scoring Hip OA with MRI (SHOMRI) scoring system and their correlation with the evolution of clinical parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hip MRI studies of 18 subjects with [Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) score = 2/3; mean age = 54.4 ± 11.2 years; 27.8% women] and 36 controls without radiographic OA [KL = 0/1; mean age = 43.7 ± 12.8 years; 50.0% women] were assessed at baseline and after 1.5 years by using SHOMRI, and their clinical status was evaluated by using Harris Hip Score and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS). Imaging and clinical parameters at baseline and their change over time were compared between groups using Mann-Whitney U and Fisher׳s exact tests. Spearman׳s rank correlations and generalized linear models adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and KL were used to assess associations between imaging and clinical findings. RESULTS At baseline, OA subjects had significantly higher SHOMRI total scores than controls [median (IQR): 12.5 (6-19.5) vs. 7 (4-13.5); p = 0.024]. Over 1.5 years, only the progression rate of subchondral cysts was significantly higher in OA subjects than in controls (16.7% vs. 0.0%; p = 0.033), while no significant differences were found for any of the other SHOMRI subscales. Baseline bone-marrow edema pattern (BMEP) was significantly associated with worsening pain (HOOS subscale; p = 0.018) and hip-related quality of life (HOOS subscale; p = 0.044). Progression of subchondral cysts was significantly associated with worsening symptoms other than pain (HOOS subscale, p = 0.030). Baseline KL did not significantly correlate with worsening of any clinical symptoms (each, p > 0.05). CONCLUSION In this relatively young study population without or with mild to moderate radiographic hip OA, only minimal differences were found between groups regarding the progression of hip abnormalities as assessed by SHOMRI over 1.5 years. However, BMEP predicted clinical worsening and subchondral cyst progression was associated with worsening symptoms. Although longer follow-up periods are required, this suggests that SHOMRI is a useful tool to monitor hip abnormalities and their progression longitudinally.
