In vivo interrelationships between the gluteus minimus and hip joint capsule in the hip internal rotation position with flexion. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:87. [PMID: 38263079 PMCID: PMC10804474 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07188-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The flexion adduction internal rotation (FADIR) test is performed by the combined motions of hip flexion (with knee flexion), adduction, and internal rotation, and can often reproduce anterior hip pain consistent with an individual's presenting pain. Since it has high sensitivity for intraarticular pathology diagnosis but low specificity, understanding the extraarticular pathology that can induce anterior hip pain in the FADIR test may also be essential. This study hypothesized that the interrelationships between the joint capsule and gluteus minimus differ in individuals with and without FADIR-positive pain and aimed to elucidate the in vivo interrelationships at hip internal rotation in 90°-flexion, which is also often restricted in individuals with FADIR-positive pain. METHODS Ten hips were included in the FADIR-positive group, and ten hips without hip pain in the FADIR test were included in a control group. Based on the ultrasound images at the four hip rotation conditions (20° and 10° external rotations, 0° external/internal rotation, and 10° internal rotation), orientation measurements of the gluteus minimus (muscle belly portion) and joint capsule were performed and quantitatively compared between the FADIR-positive and control groups. Additionally, 3 hips of 3 participants were randomly selected from each of the control and FADIR-positive groups for magnetic resonance imaging analysis. RESULTS At 0°-external/internal and 10°-internal rotation, on ultrasound images, fibers of the gluteus minimus and joint capsule in the FADIR-positive group were significantly more oriented in the same direction than those in the control group. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that the loose connective tissue between the gluteus minimus and joint capsule was prominent at 10°-internal rotation in the control group, although this was not apparent in the FADIR-positive group. CONCLUSIONS At hip internal rotation in 90° flexion, the muscular belly portion of the gluteus minimus and joint capsule were oriented in the same direction to a greater extent in the FADIR-positive group than in the control group owing to a morphological change in the loose connective tissue between them. The pathological changes in the loose connective tissue may inhibit smooth movement of the gluteus minimus relative to the joint capsule in individuals with FADIR-positive pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common cause of hip pain, especially in young patients. When left untreated, it has been demonstrated to be a risk factor for the onset or progression of osteoarthritis (OA) and has been identified as one of the main contributors leading to the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a young age. While the short-term therapeutic potential of hip arthroscopy is widely recognized, little is known regarding its potential mid- to long-term preventive effect on the progression of hip OA. PURPOSE To (1) report clinical outcomes of arthroscopically treated FAI syndrome with a minimum 5-year follow-up and compare the results to a cohort with FAI treated nonsurgically and (2) determine the influence of hip arthroscopy on the onset and progression of hip OA in patients diagnosed with FAI. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Patients who had hip pain and were diagnosed with FAI were included. Exclusion criteria were (1) previous or concomitant hip surgery, (2) <5 years of follow-up, and (3) insufficient radiographs. Patients treated with hip arthroscopy were compared with a cohort of patients with FAI who were treated nonsurgically. Kaplan-Meier estimates of failure (defined as conversion to THA) were performed. Bivariate analysis and Cox regression were used to identify factors associated with inferior clinical and radiographic outcomes. RESULTS A total of 957 patients (650 female, 307 male; 1114 hips) (mean age, 28.03 ± 8.9 years [range, 6.5-41.0 years]) with FAI were included. A total of 132 hips underwent hip arthroscopy and 982 hips were nonoperatively treated. The mean follow-up was 12.5 ± 4.7 years (range, 5.0-23.4 years). At the final follow-up, the rate of OA progression was 26.5% in the operative group and 35.2% in the nonoperative cohort (P < .01). Conversion to THA was performed in 6.8% of the surgical patients and 10.5% of the initially nonsurgical patients (P = .19). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the risk of failure between the operatively and nonoperatively treated patients. Male sex, increased age at initial diagnosis, presence of cam morphology, and increased initial Tönnis grade were risk factors for failure (male sex: hazard ratio [HR], 2.3; P < .01; per year of increased age: HR, 1.1; P < .01; presence of cam: HR, 3.5; P < .01; per Tönnis grade: HR, 4.0; P < .01). CONCLUSION At a mean follow-up of nearly 13 years, 7% of patients of the surgical group experienced progression to THA, compared with 11% of the nonoperative control group. While most of the operative group showed little to no OA at final follow-up, moderate OA (Tönnis grade 2) was present in 12% of the cohort compared with 22% of nonsurgical patients. Increased age at diagnosis, male sex, presence of a cam morphology, and presence of initial arthritic joint changes were found to be risk factors for failure. The results of this study demonstrated evidence for a preventive effect of hip arthroscopy on the development and progression of OA in young patients with FAI at mid- to long-term follow-up.

Large Hip Impingement Area and Subspine Hip Impingement in Patients With Absolute Femoral Retroversion or Decreased Combined Version. Orthop J Sports Med 2023; 11:23259671221148502. [PMID: 36846812 PMCID: PMC9950619 DOI: 10.1177/23259671221148502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background It remains unclear if femoral retroversion is a contraindication for hip arthroscopy in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Purpose To compare the area and location of hip impingement at maximal flexion and during the FADIR test (flexion, adduction, internal rotation) in FAI hips with femoral retroversion, hips with decreased combined version, and asymptomatic controls. Study Design Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Twenty-four symptomatic patients (37 hips) with anterior FAI were evaluated. All patients had femoral version (FV) <5° according to the Murphy method. Two subgroups were analyzed: 13 hips with absolute femoral retroversion (FV <0°) and 29 hips with decreased combined version (McKibbin index <20°). All patients were symptomatic and had anterior groin pain and a positive anterior impingement test ; all had undergone pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans to measure FV. The asymptomatic control group consisted of 26 hips. Dynamic impingement simulation of maximal flexion and FADIR test at 90° of flexion was performed with patient-specific CT-based 3-dimensional models. Extra- or intra-articular hip impingement area and location were compared between the subgroups and with control hips using nonparametric tests. Results Impingement area was significantly larger for hips with decreased combined version (<20°) versus combined version (≥20°) (mean ± SD; 171 ± 140 vs 78 ± 55 mm2; P = .012) and was significantly larger for hips with FV <0° (absolute femoral retroversion) vs FV >0° (P = .025). Hips with absolute femoral retroversion had a significantly higher frequency of extra-articular subspine impingement versus controls (92% vs 0%; P < .001), compared to 84% of patients with decreased combined version. Intra-articular femoral impingement location was most often (95%) anterosuperior and anterior (2-3 o'clock). Anteroinferior femoral impingement location was significantly different at maximal flexion (anteroinferior [4-5 o'clock]) versus the FADIR test (anterosuperior and anterior [2-3 o'clock]) (P < .001). Conclusion Patients with absolute femoral retroversion (FV <0°) had a larger hip impingement area, and most exhibited extra-articular subspine impingement. Preoperative FV assessment with advanced imaging (CT/magnetic resonance imaging) could help to identify these patients (without 3-dimensional modeling). Femoral impingement was located anteroinferiorly at maximal flexion and anterosuperiorly and anteriorly during the FADIR test.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1067600. [PMID: 36761299 PMCID: PMC9905814 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1067600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To use a novel in vivo method to simulate a moving hip model. Then, measure the dynamic bone-to-bone distance, and analyze the ischiofemoral space (IFS) of patients diagnosed with ischiofemoral impingement syndrome (IFI) during dynamic activities. Methods: Nine healthy subjects and 9 patients with IFI were recruited to collect MRI images and motion capture data. The motion trail of the hip during motion capture was matched to a personalized 3D hip model reconstructed from MRI images to get a dynamic bone model. This personalized dynamic in vivo method was then used to simulate the bone motion in dynamic activities. Validation was conducted on a 3D-printed sphere by comparing the calculated data using this novel method with the actual measured moving data using motion capture. Moreover, the novel method was used to analyze the in vivo dynamic IFS between healthy subjects and IFI patients during normal and long stride walking. Results: The validation results show that the root mean square error (RMSE) of slide and rotation was 1.42 mm/1.84° and 1.58 mm/2.19°, respectively. During normal walking, the in vivo dynamic IFS was significantly larger in healthy hips (ranged between 15.09 and 50.24 mm) compared with affected hips (between 10.16 and 39.74 mm) in 40.27%-83.81% of the gait cycle (p = 0.027). During long stride walking, the in vivo dynamic IFS was also significantly larger in healthy hips (ranged between 13.02 and 51.99 mm) than affected hips (between 9.63 and 44.22 mm) in 0%-5.85% of the gait cycle (p = 0.049). Additionally, the IFS of normal walking was significantly smaller than long stride walking during 0%-14.05% and 85.07%-100% of the gait cycle (p = 0.033, 0.033) in healthy hips. However, there was no difference between the two methods of walking among the patients. Conclusions: This study established a novel in vivo method to measure the dynamic bone-to-bone distance and was well validated. This method was used to measure the IFS of patients diagnosed with IFI, and the results showed that the IFS of patients is smaller compared with healthy subjects, whether in normal or long stride walking. Meanwhile, IFI eliminated the difference between normal and long stride walking.

Patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement demonstrate increased change in bone-to-bone distance during walking: A dual fluoroscopy study. J Orthop Res 2023; 41:161-169.

Abstract
Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is a painful, structural hip disorder. Herein, we investigated hip joint mechanics through in vivo, dynamic measurement of the bone-to-bone distance between the femoral head and acetabulum in patients with cam FAI syndrome and morphologically screened controls. We hypothesized that individuals with cam FAI syndrome would have larger changes in bone-to-bone distance compared to the control group, which we would interpret as altered joint mechanics as signified by greater movement of the femoral head as it articulates within the acetabulum. Seven patients with cam FAI syndrome and 11 asymptomatic individuals with typical morphology underwent dual fluoroscopy imaging during level and inclined walking (upward slope). The change in bone-to-bone distance between femoral and acetabular bone surfaces was evaluated for five anatomical regions of the acetabulum at each timepoint of gait. Linear regression analysis of the bone-to-bone distance considered two within-subject factors (activity and region) and one between-subjects factor (group). Across activities, the change in minimum bone-to-bone distance was 1.38-2.54 mm for the cam FAI group and 1.16-1.84 mm for controls. In all regions except the anterior-superior region, the change in bone-to-bone distance was larger in the cam group than the control group (p ≤ 0.024). An effect of activity was detected only in the posterior-superior region where larger changes were noted during level walking than incline walking. Statement of clinical significance: Patients with cam FAI syndrome exhibit altered hip joint mechanics during the low-demand activity of walking; these alterations could affect load transmission, and contribute to pain, tissue damage, and osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although randomized controlled trials comparing hip arthroscopy with physical therapy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome have emerged, no studies have investigated potential moderators or mediators of change in hip-related quality of life. PURPOSE To explore potential moderators, mediators, and prognostic indicators of the effect of hip arthroscopy and physical therapy on change in 33-item international Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) score for FAI syndrome. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. METHODS Overall, 99 participants were recruited from the clinics of orthopaedic surgeons and randomly allocated to treatment with hip arthroscopy or physical therapy. Change in iHOT-33 score from baseline to 12 months was the dependent outcome for analyses of moderators, mediators, and prognostic indicators. Variables investigated as potential moderators/prognostic indicators were demographic variables, symptom duration, alpha angle, lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), Hip Osteoarthritis MRI Scoring System (HOAMS) for selected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, and delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) score. Potential mediators investigated were change in chosen bony morphology measures, HOAMS, and dGEMRIC score from baseline to 12 months. For hip arthroscopy, intraoperative procedures performed (femoral ostectomy ± acetabular ostectomy ± labral repair ± ligamentum teres debridement) and quality of surgery graded by a blinded surgical review panel were investigated for potential association with iHOT-33 change. For physical therapy, fidelity to the physical therapy program was investigated for potential association with iHOT-33 change. RESULTS A total of 81 participants were included in the final moderator/prognostic indicator analysis and 85 participants in the final mediator analysis after exclusion of those with missing data. No significant moderators or mediators of change in iHOT-33 score from baseline to 12 months were identified. Patients with smaller baseline LCEA (β = -0.82; P = .034), access to private health care (β = 12.91; P = .013), and worse baseline iHOT-33 score (β = -0.48; P < .001) had greater iHOT-33 improvement from baseline to 12 months, irrespective of treatment allocation, and thus were prognostic indicators of treatment response. Unsatisfactory treatment fidelity was associated with worse treatment response (β = -24.27; P = .013) for physical therapy. The quality of surgery and procedures performed were not associated with iHOT-33 change for hip arthroscopy (P = .460-.665 and P = .096-.824, respectively). CONCLUSION No moderators or mediators of change in hip-related quality of life were identified for treatment of FAI syndrome with hip arthroscopy or physical therapy in these exploratory analyses. Patients who accessed the Australian private health care system, had smaller LCEAs, and had worse baseline iHOT-33 scores, experienced greater iHOT-33 improvement, irrespective of treatment allocation.

Abstract
Purpose Three-dimensional (3D)-two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopic image registration was used to measure 3D hip kinematics before and after hip arthroscopy in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Methods In total, 24 subjects diagnosed with FAI (21 unilateral, 3 bilateral) were prospectively recruited. A clinical impingement test was performed on both hips while the patient was awake and then while anaesthetized, and in the operative hip after arthroscopic osteoplasties and labral repair. Fluoroscopy was used to image the hip during the impingement tests. Images were analyzed using 3D-2D image registration to calculate joint kinematics. The examiner's hand was instrumented with a glove to measure internal rotation torque applied to the hip during each test. Results Internal rotation increased by 3.7° (standard error [SE] 0.95°) after surgery (P = .001). Maximum displacement of the femoral head out of the acetabulum was 4.0 mm (SE 0.5 mm) in the operative group before surgery and 1.8 mm (SE 0.3 mm) after surgery (P < .001). This was due to a decrease in lateral displacement by 1.3 mm (SE 0.4 mm, P = .002) and proximal displacement by 0.8 mm (SE 0.3 mm, P = .013). Internal rotation torque was greater in the operative hips when anaesthetized compared with when awake, by 5 Nm (SE 1.2 Nm, P < .001), and greater in the contralateral hips than the operative hips when awake by 8.4 Nm (SE 1.4 mm, P < .001). Conclusions Arthroscopic osteoplasty and labral repair increased hip range of motion and reduced femoral head displacement from the acetabulum during the IR90 provocation test (i.e., hip flexion to 90°, maximum internal rotation) in patients with FAI. This suggests that the impinging acetabular rim acted as a fulcrum before surgery and may have caused edge loading that was reduced after surgery. Level of Evidence Level IV case series, therapeutic study.

Abstract
It is not clear whether femoral neck osteochondroplasty achieves its objective of increasing femoroacetabular clearance. We used an upright open magnetic resonance imaging scanner to image the hip joint in multiple postures to explore the effect of posture and femoral neck osteochondroplasty on femur-acetabulum clearance in patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. We recruited 13 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo arthroscopic femoral neck osteochondroplasty and completed assessments on 10 patients. We scanned each subject before surgery and at 6 months post-op in supine and 3 other physiological postures: supine 90° flexion with adduction and internal rotation (FADIR), sitting deep (maximal flexion with internal rotation and adduction), and sitting crossed leg (maximal adduction with flexion and internal rotation). We measured the alpha angle, which describes the severity of cam deformity, and the beta angle, which defines joint clearance. We also evaluated hip flexion, internal rotation, and adduction before and after surgery. Femoral neck osteochondroplasty significantly decreased alpha angle by 23.9° ± 4.6° (p = 0.001) and increased beta angle across all postures by 28.1° ± 6.3° (p = 0.002). An increase in beta angle represented a decreased chance of impingement. Femoral neck osteochondroplasty significantly increased flexion by an average of 8.6° in the sitting deep posture after surgery (p = 0.007) which might indicate an improvement of joint function. These findings lend support to the hypothesis that arthroscopic osteochondroplasty accomplishes its stated goals of increasing bone-bone clearance in the hip joint and improving joint mechanics for the static postures assessed.

Abstract
Aims Cam and pincer morphologies are potential precursors to hip osteoarthritis and important contributors to non-arthritic hip pain. However, only some hips with these pathomorphologies develop symptoms and joint degeneration, and it is not clear why. Anterior impingement between the femoral head-neck contour and acetabular rim in positions of hip flexion combined with rotation is a proposed pathomechanism in these hips, but this has not been studied in active postures. Our aim was to assess the anterior impingement pathomechanism in both active and passive postures with high hip flexion that are thought to provoke impingement. Methods We recruited nine participants with cam and/or pincer morphologies and with pain, 13 participants with cam and/or pincer morphologies and without pain, and 11 controls from a population-based cohort. We scanned hips in active squatting and passive sitting flexion, adduction, and internal rotation using open MRI and quantified anterior femoroacetabular clearance using the β angle. Results In squatting, we found significantly decreased anterior femoroacetabular clearance in painful hips with cam and/or pincer morphologies (mean -11.3° (SD 19.2°)) compared to pain-free hips with cam and/or pincer morphologies (mean 8.5° (SD 14.6°); p = 0.022) and controls (mean 18.6° (SD 8.5°); p < 0.001). In sitting flexion, adduction, and internal rotation, we found significantly decreased anterior clearance in both painful (mean -15.2° (SD 15.3°); p = 0.002) and painfree hips (mean -4.7° (SD 13°); p = 0.010) with cam and/pincer morphologies compared to the controls (mean 7.1° (SD 5.9°)). Conclusion Our results support the anterior femoroacetabular impingement pathomechanism in hips with cam and/or pincer morphologies and highlight the effect of posture on this pathomechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cam and/or pincer morphologies (CPM) are potential precursors to hip osteoarthritis (OA) and important contributors to non-arthritic hip pain. However, only some CPM hips develop OA and/or pain, and it is not clear why. Anterior impingement between the femoral head/neck contour and acetabular rim during motion is a proposed pathomechanism. Understanding how activity and deformity combine to produce impingement may shed light on the causes of hip degeneration/pain. The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of a subject-specific hip model driven by subject-specific motion data in predicting anterior impingement. METHODS We recruited 22 participants with CPM (both with and without pain) and 11 controls. We collected subject-specific 3D kinematics during squatting and sitting flexion, adduction, and internal rotation (FADIR) (an active and a passive maneuver, respectively, proposed to provoke impingement). We then developed 3D subject-specific hip models from supine 3T hip MRI scans that predicted the beta angle (a measure of anterior femoroacetabular clearance) for each frame of acquired kinematics. To assess the accuracy of these predictions, we measured the beta angle directly in the final position of squatting and sitting FADIR using open MRI scans. We selected the frame of motion data matching the static imaged posture using the least-squares error in hip angles. Model accuracy for each subject was calculated as the absolute error between the open MRI measure of beta and the model prediction of beta at the matched time frame. To make the final model accuracy independent of goodness of match between open MRI position and motion data, a threshold was set for least-squares error in hip angles, and only participants that were below this threshold were considered in the final model accuracy calculation, yielding results from 10 participants for squatting and 7 participants for sitting FADIR. RESULTS For squatting and sitting FADIR, we found an accuracy of 1.1°(0.8°) and 1.3°(mean (SD), and root mean squared error, respectively) and 0.5°(0.3°) and 0.6°, respectively. CONCLUSION This subject-specific hip model predicts anterior femoroacetabular clearance with an accuracy of about 1°, making it useful to predict anterior impingement during activities measured with motion analysis.

Abstract
Purpose To determine whether inclusion of the acetabular labrum affects the maximum range of motion (ROM) during simulation of the flexion–adduction–internal rotation impingement examination. Methods Three-dimensional surface reconstructions of the femur, hemi-pelvis, and labrum from computed tomography arthrography images of 19 participants were used to simulate maximum ROM during the flexion–adduction–internal rotation examination. Simulations were conducted for positions between 70° and 110° flexion and 0° and 20° adduction at 10° increments to measure maximum internal rotation and the position of contact between the femur and acetabular rim (bone-to-bone) or the femur and labrum (bone-to-labrum). Internal rotation angles and clock-face position values were compared between the 2 contact scenarios for each position. Results The ROM in the bone-to-labrum contact model was significantly less than that of the bone-to-bone contact model for all evaluated positions (P ≤ .001, except at 110° flexion and 20° adduction, P = .114). The inclusion of the labrum reduced internal rotation by a median [interquartile range] of 18 [15, 25]° while altering the position of contact on the acetabular clock-face by –0:01 [–0:27, 0:16]. The variability in contact location for the bone-to-labrum contact scenario was nearly double that of the bone-to-bone contact scenario, as indicated by the interquartile range. Conclusions Inclusion of the anatomy of the acetabular labrum in collision models used to simulate impingement examinations reduced the internal rotation ROM by approximately 20° and increased variability in the location of contact relative to the acetabular rim. Clinical Relevance While standard bone-to-bone contact ROM simulations may be informative with respect to the relative change in ROM based on a surgical intervention (e.g., pre- and post-osteochondroplasty for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement), they may not accurately represent the clinical ROM of the joint or the kinematic position at which damage may occur due to shape mismatch between the femur and acetabulum.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) may alter the kinematic function of the hip, resulting in pain and tissue damage. Previous motion analysis studies of FAIS have employed skin markers, which are prone to soft tissue artifact and inaccurate calculation of the hip joint center. This may explain why the evidence linking FAIS with deleterious kinematics is contradictory. The purpose of this study was to employ dual fluoroscopy (DF) to quantify in vivo kinematics of patients with cam FAIS relative to asymptomatic, morphologically normal control participants during various activities. Eleven asymptomatic, morphologically normal controls and seven patients with cam FAIS were imaged with DF during standing, level walking, incline walking, and functional range of motion activities. Model-based tracking calculated the kinematic position of the hip by registering projections of three-dimensional computed tomography models with DF images. Patients with FAIS stood with their hip extended (mean [95% confidence interval], -2.2 [-7.4, 3.1]°, flexion positive), whereas controls were flexed (5.3 [2.6, 8.0]°; p = 0.013). Male patients with cam FAIS had less peak internal rotation than the male control participants during self-selected speed level-walking (-0.2 [-6.5, 6.1]° vs. -9.8 [-12.2, -7.3]°; p = 0.007) and less anterior pelvic tilt at heel-strike of incline (5°) walking (3.4 [-1.0, -7.9]° vs. 9.8 [6.4, 13.2]°; p = 0.032). Even during submaximal range of motion activities, such as incline walking, patients may alter pelvic motion to avoid positions that approximate the cam lesion and the acetabular labrum. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited evidence on the safety of return to sexual activity after hip arthroscopy. AIM To determine the positional safety of sexual activity after hip arthroscopy relative to hip instability and/or impingement risk. STUDY DESIGN This study is an observational study. METHODS 12 common sexual positions were identified based on previous research. Gender-specific hip motion was then assessed for the possibility of postarthroscopic hip instability (due to disruption of iliofemoral ligament [interportal capsulotomy] repair) and/or impingement (labral or capsular compressive stress with disrupted repair) for all 12 positions (both right and left hips; 15 unique male and 14 unique female positions). Instability risk was defined as greater than 0° hip extension, greater than 30° external rotation (ER), or greater than 30° abduction. Impingement risk was defined as greater than 90° hip flexion, greater than 10° internal rotation, and greater than 10° adduction. OUTCOMES A majority of both male and female sexual positions caused either instability or impingement, with only 4 positions in women and 4 positions in men deemed "safe" by avoiding excessive hip motion. RESULTS Return to sexual activity after hip arthroscopy may cause instability in 10/15 of male positions and 5/14 female positions. Most male positions (6/10) were at risk for instability because of excessive ER. 2 positions were unstable because of a combination of ER and extension, one was due to extension, and one abduction. In female instability positions, all 5 were unstable because of excessive abduction. Impingement may be observed in 5 of 15 male positions and 6 of 14 female positions. In male impingement positions, all were due to excessive adduction. 4 female positions risked impingement due to excessive flexion and 2 positions due to internal rotation. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS This study demonstrates risks that should be considered when counseling patients preoperatively and postoperatively regarding sexual activity. STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS This study closely models a hip preservation patient population by using 2 young and otherwise healthy individuals. The most significant limitation of this investigation was its basis with only 2 young healthy volunteers (one male, one female) in a single motion capture session using surface-based spherical retroreflective markers from a previous investigation. CONCLUSION After hip arthroscopy, patients need to be made aware of the possibility of hip instability (10 of 15 men; 5 of 14 women) and impingement (5 of 15 men; 6 of 14 women) due to excessive hip motion that may compromise their outcome.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine (i) the reliability of hip range of motion measurement among experienced arthroscopic hip preservation surgeons and (ii) the magnitude of hip flexion change with posterior pelvic tilt. Five experienced arthroscopic hip preservation surgeons (5–18 years of hip surgery experience) performed passive hip range of motion (internal and external rotation), flexion (contralateral hip extended) and flexion with posterior pelvic tilt (contralateral hip maximally flexed) on five young healthy asymptomatic volunteers (three males, two females; 34.4 ± 10.7 years of age). Motion was measured via digital photography and goniometry. Inter-observer reliability was calculated via two-way mixed, single measures, intra-class correlation coefficient. Paired t-test was utilized to compare hip flexion (with contralateral hip extended) to hip flexion with posterior pelvic tilt (with contralateral hip in forced flexion). The reliabilities of measurements of hip flexion with posterior pelvic tilt and external rotation were excellent, that of hip flexion was fair, and that of hip internal rotation was poor. The magnitude of hip flexion increase with posterior pelvic tilt was 17.0° ± 3.0° (P < 0.001). The reliability of hip range of motion measurement by five experienced arthroscopic hip preservation surgeons was excellent for measures of hip flexion with posterior pelvic tilt and external rotation. Contralateral maximal hip flexion significantly increased ipsilateral hip flexion (approximately 17°). Level of Evidence: Diagnostic, level III (without consistently applied reference standard)

Harris JD. Editorial Commentary: What Exactly Is Impingement-Can Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging "See" Impingement in Femoroacetabular Impingement? Arthroscopy 2019; 35:2375-2379. [PMID: 31395173 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2019.05.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2019] [Accepted: 05/06/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
The diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome requires that 3 prerequisites are met. Patient symptoms and physical examination must be combined with imaging to appropriately make the diagnosis. Imaging, including plain radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography, should be interpreted in the context of a high prevalence of cam and pincer morphology, in addition to labral injury, in the general population. All images routinely obtained in current clinical practice are 2-dimensional representations of complex 3-dimensional processes. Although computerized modeling can dynamically manipulate femur and pelvis independently in fluoroscopy-, computed tomography-, and/or MRI-based collision detection models, the exact definition of "impingement" eludes the current literature. High-resolution, high magnet strength (minimum 3 Tesla), physiologic and/or biochemical dynamic MRI has the potential to image both soft and osseous tissues, interacting to best define hip impingement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilateral symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is common. However, the fate of asymptomatic hip in patients with the radiographic diagnosis of bilateral FAI and unilateral symptoms remains unknown. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) What is the likelihood of the asymptomatic hip becoming painful in patients with unilateral symptoms but with radiographic evidence of bilateral femoroacetabular impingement? (2) What radiological and clinical factors are associated with the development of symptoms in an asymptomatic hip diagnosed with FAI? METHODS A longitudinally maintained institutional FAI database was queried to collect relevant data for this retrospective study. To answer our research questions, we created a cohort of patients with bilateral radiographic signs of FAI but only unilateral symptoms at the time of initial presentation. Between 2004 and 2016, a senior surgeon (JP) at one institution treated 652 patients for hip pain determined to be from FAI, a diagnosis we made based on clinical symptoms, physical exam, and diagnostic imaging. We excluded 95 patients (15%) because of inadequate data or other diagnoses, which left 557 patients. Of those, 170 patients (31%) had bilateral radiological diagnosis of FAI, and 88 (52%) of them had bilateral hip symptoms, and so were excluded. Of the remaining 82 patients, eight (10%) underwent bilateral FAI surgery under the same anesthetic despite having only unilateral symptoms, leaving 74 for analysis in this study. Patients were followed with annual clinic visits, or contacted by phone and electronically. We defined onset of symptoms using a modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) or the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scale, and used a logistic regression model to identify factors associated with the development of symptoms. RESULTS Of the 74 patients with bilateral FAI and an asymptomatic hip at initial presentation, 60 (81%) became symptomatic at a mean 2 years (range, 0.3-11 years) followup. Of these 60 patients, 43 (72%) eventually underwent subsequent surgical intervention. After controlling for potential confounding variables such as sex, age, BMI, history of trauma we identified that reduced neck-shaft angle (r = -0.243, p = 0.009), increased lateral center-edge angle (r = 0.123, p = 0.049), increased alpha angle (r = 0.069, p = 0.025), and younger age (r = -0.071, p = 0.046) were associated with the development of symptoms in the contralateral hip. With the numbers available, none of the other examined variables such as sex, BMI, history of trauma, psychiatric condition, employment, Tönnis grade, Tönnis angle, crossover sign, type of impingement, and joint congruency were found to be associated with symptom progression. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral FAI may be observed about one-third of patients. Most patients with unilateral symptomatic FAI and radiographic diagnosis of bilateral FAI in this cohort became symptomatic relatively quickly and most of them underwent subsequent surgical intervention in the contralateral hip. Reduced neck-shaft angle, increased lateral center-edge angle, increased alpha angle, and younger age were associated with symptom development in the contralateral hip. Hip preservation surgeons may use the finding of this study to counsel patients who present with bilateral FAI but only unilateral symptoms about the natural history of their condition.

Abstract
Acetabular dysplasia is a common, multi-etiological, pre-osteoarthritic (OA) feature that can lead to pain and instability of the young adult hip. Despite the clinical significance of acetabular dysplasia, there is a paucity of small animal models to investigate structural and functional changes that mediate morphology of the dysplastic hip and drive the subsequent OA cascade. Utilizing a novel murine model developed in our laboratory, this study investigated the role of surgically induced unilateral instability of the postnatal hip on the initiation and progression of acetabular dysplasia and impingement up to 8-weeks post-injury. C57BL6 mice were used to develop titrated levels of hip instability (i.e., mild, moderate, and severe instabillity or femoral head resection) at weaning. Joint shape, acetabular coverage, histomorphology, and statistical shape modeling were used to assess quality of the hip following 8 weeks of destabilization. Acetabular coverage was reduced following severe, but not moderate, instability. Moderate instability induced lateralization of the femur without dislocation, whereas severe instability led to complete dislocation and pseudoacetabulae formation. Mild instability did not result in morphological changes to the hip. Removal of the femoral head led to reduced hip joint space volume. These data support the notion that hip instability, driven by mechanical loss-of-function of soft connective tissue, can induce morphometric changes in the growing mouse hip. This work developed a new mouse model to study hip health in the murine adolescent hip and is a useful tool for investigating the mechanical and structural adaptations to hip instability during growth. © 2018 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this case report is to present the successful management of symptomatic bilateral femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome in a patient who underwent surgical treatment on one side and non-surgical treatment on the other side. Methods We evaluated the treatment outcome of a young female presenting with bilateral FAI syndrome of cam morphology. A follow-up was performed at 5 years following surgical treatment on the right hip and 2 years following non-surgical treatment on the left hip. The evaluation included a clinical examination, patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM), plain radiographs, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results The patient experienced subjective improvements bilaterally. The clinical examination revealed differences in range of motion between the surgically treated and the non-surgically treated sides, with internal rotation differing the most (20° vs almost 0°). Flexion was, however, the same on both sides (125°). The PROM results were satisfactory on both sides, with slightly better results for the surgically treated side (the short version of the International Hip Outcome Tool [iHOT-12]: 96.9 vs 90, the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score [HAGOS]: 90–100 vs 65–100). On the surgically treated side, the alpha angle decreased by 19° postoperatively. An MRI did not reveal any injury to the cartilage or labrum on either side. Conclusion This patient with bilateral FAI syndrome treated with arthroscopic surgery on one side and physiotherapy together with reduced physical activity on the other side, presented with good results bilaterally at follow-up.

Abstract
Background: Sexual difficulties and dysfunction are common in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) secondary to hip pain and stiffness. Purpose: To determine the risk of impingement in patients with FAIS during common sexual positions using 3-dimensional computer-simulated collision detection before and after cam correction. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Ten computed tomography scans of the pelvis and femur from patients with FAIS due to isolated cam morphology were retrospectively reviewed. Three-dimensional osseous models were developed using Mimics software. The cam deformity was then completely corrected. Simulations of hip range of motion for the most common sexual positions for men (n = 15) and women (n = 14) were conducted before and after cam resection. Impingement was determined for each sexual position. Position safety was defined as ≤20% of models demonstrating impingement in a position. Descriptive and simple comparative statistics were calculated. Results: There was no sexual position that was impingement free in all models before cam correction. After cam correction, 11 (37.9%) of 29 total positions were impingement free. There was a significant decrease in impingement from before to after cam correction (40.7% vs 11.4%, respectively, of all female positions [P < .0001]; 26.0% vs 6.7%, respectively, of all male positions [P < .0001]). There was a significant increase in the number of “safe” positions from before to after cam correction (4 vs 11, respectively, of all female positions [P = .008]; 7 vs 15, respectively, of all male positions [P = .001]). Conclusion: After cam correction, there was a significant reduction in the impingement rate and a significant increase in the number of “safe” sexual positions. Clinical Relevance: Impingement in patients with cam morphology is common during sexual activity. Surgical correction of cam morphology significantly reduces the rate of impingement. Although this laboratory imaging-only study did not account for patient symptoms, this likely translates to significant symptomatic improvement during sexual activity after surgical cam correction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subspine impingement is a recognized source of extraarticular hip impingement. Although CT-based classification systems have been described, to our knowledge, no study has evaluated the morphology of the anteroinferior iliac spine (AIIS) with plain radiographs nor to our knowledge has any study compared its appearance between plain radiographs and CT scan and correlated AIIS morphology with physical findings. Previous work has suggested a correlation of AIIS morphology and hip ROM but this has not been clinically validated. Furthermore, if plain radiographs can be found to adequately screen for AIIS morphology, CT could be selectively used, limiting radiation exposure. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purposes of this study were (1) to determine the prevalence of AIIS subtypes in a cohort of patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement; (2) to compare AP pelvis and false profile radiographs with three-dimensional (3-D) CT classification; and (3) to correlate the preoperative hip physical examination with AIIS subtypes. METHODS A retrospective study of patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome was performed. Between February 2013 and November 2016, 601 patients underwent hip arthroscopy. To be included here, each patient had to have undergone a primary hip arthroscopy for the diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Each patient needed to have an interpretable set of plain radiographs consisting of weightbearing AP pelvis and false profile radiographs as well as full documentation of physical findings in the medical record. Patients who additionally had a CT scan with 3-D reconstructions were included as well. During the period in question, it was the preference of the treating surgeon whether a preoperative CT scan was obtained. A total of 145 of 601 (24%) patients were included in the analysis; of this cohort, 54% (78 of 145) had a CT scan and 63% (92 of 145) were women with a mean age of 31 ± 10 years. The AIIS was classified first on patients in whom the 3-D CT scan was available based on a previously published 3-D CT classification. The AIIS was then classified by two orthopaedic surgeons (TGM, MRK) on AP and false profile radiographs based on the position of its inferior margin to a line at the lateral aspect of the acetabular sourcil normal to vertical. Type I was above, Type II at the level, and Type III below this line. There was fair interrater agreement for AP pelvis (κ = 0.382; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.239-0.525), false profile (κ = 0.372; 95% CI, 0.229-0.515), and 3-D CT (κ = 0.325; 95% CI, 0.156-0.494). There was moderate to almost perfect intraobserver repeatability for AP pelvis (κ = 0.516; 95% CI, 0.284-0.748), false profile (κ = 0.915; 95% CI, 0.766-1.000), and 3-D CT (κ = 0.915; 95% CI, 0.766-1.000). The plane radiographs were then compared with the 3-D CT scan classification and accuracy, defined as the proportion of correct classification out of total classifications. Preoperative hip flexion, internal rotation, external rotation, flexion adduction, internal rotation, subspine, and Stinchfield physical examination tests were compared with classification of the AIIS on 3-D CT. Finally, preoperative hip flexion, internal rotation, and external rotation were compared with preoperative lateral center-edge angle and alpha angle. RESULTS The prevalence of AIIS was 56% (44 of 78) Type I, 39% (30 of 78) Type II, and 5% (four of 78) Type III determined from the 3-D CT classification. For the plain radiographic classification, the distribution of AIIS morphology was 64% (93 of 145) Type I, 32% (46 of 145) Type II, and 4% (six of 145) Type III on AP pelvis and 49% (71 of 145) Type I, 48% (70 of 145) Type II, and 3% (four of 145) Type III on false profile radiographs. False profile radiographs were more accurate than AP pelvis radiographs for classification when compared against the gold standard of 3-D CT at 98% (95% CI, 96-100) versus 80% (95% CI, 75-85). The false profile radiograph had better sensitivity for Type II (97% versus 47%, p < 0.001) and specificity for Types I and II AIIS (97% versus 53%, p < 0.001; 98% versus 90%, p = 0.046) morphology compared with AP pelvis radiographs. There was no correlation between AIIS type as determined by 3-D CT scan and hip flexion (rs = -0.115, p = 0.377), internal rotation (rs = 0.070, p = 0.548), flexion adduction internal rotation (U = 72.00, p = 0.270), Stinchfield (U = 290.50, p = 0.755), or subspine tests (U = 319.00, p = 0.519). External rotation was weakly correlated (rs = 0.253, p = 0.028) with AIIS subtype. Alpha angle was negatively correlated with hip flexion (r = -0.387, p = 0.002) and external rotation (r = -0.238, p = 0.043) and not correlated with internal rotation (r = -0.068, p = 0.568). CONCLUSIONS The findings in this study suggest the false profile radiograph is superior to an AP radiograph of the pelvis in evaluating AIIS morphology. Neither preoperative hip internal rotation nor impingement tests correlate with AIIS type as previously suggested questioning the utility of the AIIS classification system in identifying pathologic AIIS anatomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip "microinstability" is commonly cited as the cause of symptoms that occur in the presence of translation of the femoral head away from conformity with the acetabular fossa. However, there is still no consistent objective criteria defining its presence and biomechanical basis. One hypothesis is that abnormal motion of the articular surfaces occurs because of capsular laxity, ultimately leading to clinical symptoms. PURPOSE To determine the relationship between capsular laxity and abnormal rotation and translation of the hip. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Eight cadaveric hips were dissected down to the capsule and mounted in a customized multiaxial hip activity simulator. Each specimen was loaded with 5 N·m of internal and external rotational torque in full extension and 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° of flexion. During testing, the relative position and rotation of the femur and the pelvis were monitored in real time with a 6-camera motion analysis system. The testing was repeated after capsular laxity was generated by placing a regular array of incisions ("pie crusting") in the iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral ligaments. Joint rotation and femoral head translation were calculated with specimen-specific models. A hip microinstability index was defined as the ratio between the length of the locus of the femoral head center and the radius of the femoral head during rotation from extension to 90° of flexion. RESULTS In intact hips, the components of femoral head translation were within 0.5 mm in positions close to neutral (<30° of flexion). Capsular modification led to significant increases in internal and external rotation ( P < .01) and in the translation of the femoral head center at different positions ( P < .05). Compared with intact hips, the femoral head was inferiorly displaced during external rotation and anteroinferiorly during internal rotation. The length of the locus of the femoral head center increased from 3.61 ± 1.30 mm to 5.35 ± 1.83 mm for external rotation ( P < .05) and from 6.24 ± 1.48 mm to 8.21 ± 1.42 mm for internal rotation ( P < .01). The correlations between rotational laxity and the total translation of the femoral head were not significant, with coefficients of 0.093 and 0.006 in external and internal rotation, respectively. In addition, the hip microinstability index increased from 0.40 ± 0.08 for intact hips to 0.55 ± 0.09 for modified hips ( P < .01). CONCLUSION The native hip approximates a concentric ball-and-socket joint within 30° of flexion; however, beyond 30° of flexion, the femoral head translation reached as high as 4 mm. Capsular laxity leads to microinstability of the hip, as indicated by significantly increased joint rotations and femoral head translations and an abnormal movement path of the femoral head center. However, there was no correlation between rotational laxity and the increase in femoral head translation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Capsular laxity alters normal kinematics (joint rotation and femoral head translation) of the hip, potentially leading to abnormal femoral-acetabular contact and joint degeneration.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Using a validated finite element (FE) protocol, we quantified cartilage and labrum mechanics, congruency, and femoral coverage in five male patients before and after they were treated for acetabular retroversion with peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO). Three-dimensional models of bone, cartilage, and labrum were generated from computed tomography (CT) arthrography images, acquired before and after PAO. Walking, stair-ascent, stair-descent, and rising from a chair were simulated. Cartilage and labrum contact stress, contact area, and femoral coverage were calculated overall and regionally. Mean congruency (average of local congruency values for FE nodes in contact) and peak congruency (most incongruent node in contact) were calculated overall and regionally. Load supported by the labrum was represented as a raw change in the ratio of the applied force transferred through the labrum and percent change following surgery (calculated overall only). Considering all activities, following PAO, mean acetabular cartilage contact stress increased medially, superiorly, and posteriorly; peak stress increased medially and posteriorly. Peak labrum stresses decreased overall and superiorly. Acetabular contact area decreased overall and laterally, and increased medially. Labral contact area decreased overall, but not regionally. Load to the labrum decreased. Femoral head coverage increased overall, anterolaterally, and posterolaterally, but decreased anteromedially. Mean congruency indicated the hip became less congruent overall, anteriorly, and posteriorly; peak congruency indicated a less congruent joint posteriorly. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Medialization of contact and reductions in labral loading following PAO may prevent osteoarthritis, but this procedure increases cartilage stresses, decreases contact area, and makes the hip less congruent, which may overload cartilage. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cam morphology in association with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a recognized cause of hip pain and cartilage damage and proposed as a leading cause of arthritis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the functional and biomechanical effects of the surgical correction of the cam deformity on the degenerative process associated with FAI. METHODS Ten male patients with a mean age of 34.3 years (range, 23.1 to 46.5 years) and a mean body mass index (and standard deviation) of 26.66 ± 4.79 kg/m underwent corrective surgery for cam deformity in association with FAI. Each patient underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan to assess acetabular bone mineral density (BMD), high-resolution T1ρ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hips to assess proteoglycan content, and squatting motion analysis as well as completed self-administered functional questionnaires (Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [HOOS]) both preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 24.5 months, improvements in functional scores and squat performance were seen. Regarding the zone of impingement in the anterosuperior quadrant of the acetabular rim, the mean change in BMD at the time of follow-up was -31.8 mg/cc (95% confidence interval [CI], -11 to -53 mg/cc) (p = 0.008), representing a 5% decrease in BMD. The anterosuperior quadrant also demonstrated a significant decrease in T1ρ values, reflecting a stabilization of the cartilage degeneration. Significant correlations were noted between changes in clinical functional scores and changes in T1ρ values (r = -0.86; p = 0.003) as well as between the BMD and maximum vertical force (r = 0.878; p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS Surgical correction of a cam deformity in patients with symptomatic FAI not only improved clinical function but was also associated with decreases in T1ρ values and BMD. These findings are the first, to our knowledge, to show that alteration of the hip biomechanics through surgical intervention improves the overall health of the hip joint.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The proximal femur is abnormally shaped in patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Impingement may elicit bone remodeling at the proximal femur, causing increases in cortical bone thickness. We used correspondence-based shape modeling to quantify and compare cortical thickness between cam patients and controls for the location of the cam lesion and the proximal femur. Computed tomography images were segmented for 45 controls and 28 cam-type FAI patients. The segmentations were input to a correspondence-based shape model to identify the region of the cam lesion. Median cortical thickness data over the region of the cam lesion and the proximal femur were compared between mixed-gender and gender-specific groups. Median [interquartile range] thickness was significantly greater in FAI patients than controls in the cam lesion (1.47 [0.64] vs. 1.13 [0.22] mm, respectively; p < 0.001) and proximal femur (1.28 [0.30] vs. 0.97 [0.22] mm, respectively; p < 0.001). Maximum thickness in the region of the cam lesion was more anterior and less lateral (p < 0.001) in FAI patients. Male FAI patients had increased thickness compared to male controls in the cam lesion (1.47 [0.72] vs. 1.10 [0.19] mm, respectively; p < 0.001) and proximal femur (1.25 [0.29] vs. 0.94 [0.17] mm, respectively; p < 0.001). Thickness was not significantly different between male and female controls. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Studies of non-pathologic cadavers have provided guidelines regarding safe surgical resection depth for FAI patients. However, our results suggest impingement induces cortical thickening in cam patients, which may strengthen the proximal femur. Thus, these previously established guidelines may be too conservative. © 2016 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Orthop Res 35:1743-1753, 2017.

Abstract
Hip or groin pain in athletes is common and clinical presentation is often nonspecific. Imaging is a very important diagnostic step in the work-up of athletes with hip pain. This review article provides an overview on hip biomechanics and discusses strategies for hip imaging modalities such as radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MR arthrography and traction MR arthrography). The authors explain current concepts of femoroacetabular impingement and the problem of high prevalence of cam- and pincer-type morphology in asymptomatic persons. With the main focus on MR imaging, the authors present abnormalities of the hip joint and the surrounding soft tissues that can occur in athletes: intraarticular and extraarticular hip impingement syndromes, labral and cartilage disease, microinstability of the hip, myotendinous injuries, and athletic pubalgia.

Abstract
Open MRI in functional positions has potential to directly and non-invasively assess cam femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Our objective was to investigate whether open MRI can depict intrusion of the cam deformity into the intra-articular joint space, and whether intrusion is associated with elevated acetabular contact force. Cadaver hips (9 cam; 3 controls) were positioned in an anterior impingement posture and imaged using open MRI with multi-planar reformatting. The β-angle (describing clearance between the femoral neck and acetabulum) was measured around the entire circumference of the femoral neck. We defined a binary "MRI cam-intrusion sign" (positive if β < 0°). We then instrumented each hip with a piezoresistive sensor and conducted six repeated positioning trials, measuring acetabular contact force (F). We defined a binary "contact-force sign" (positive if F > 20N). Cam hips were more likely than controls to have both a positive MRI cam-intrusion sign (p = 0.0182, Fisher's exact test) and positive contact-force sign (p = 0.0083), which represents direct experimental evidence for cam intrusion. There was also a relationship between the MRI cam-intrusion sign and contact-force sign (p = 0.033), representing a link between imaging and mechanics. Our findings indicate that open MRI has significant potential for in vivo investigation of the cam FAI mechanism.

Is the contralateral hip at risk in patients with unilateral symptomatic cam femoroacetabular impingement? A quantitative T1ρ MRI study. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2015; 23:1337-42.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the profile of weight-bearing cartilage of hips with a cam deformity using T1ρ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and evaluate for a side-to-side difference in the T1ρ profile of patients with bilateral cam morphology but only unilateral hip pain. METHODS 19 patients with bilateral cam morphology undergoing osteochondroplasty for unilateral hip pain were prospectively recruited. Anterior and anterosuperior alpha angles were measured using computer tomography. All patients underwent bilateral 1.5T T1ρ MRI. The cartilage bilayer of the hip joint was evaluated and the mean T1ρ relaxation time calculated for each quadrant of the weight-bearing surface. RESULTS Mean T1ρ relaxation times were not significantly different when each quadrant was compared to the rest of the weight-bearing surface of the symptomatic (P = 0.068) and asymptomatic hips (P = 0.102). There was also no significant side-to-side difference between the same quadrants of symptomatic and asymptomatic hips. No correlation was detected between alpha angle and the mean T1ρ relaxation time in each quadrant. There was no significant difference in mean alpha angles between the symptomatic and asymptomatic sides at the anterior (54.2 vs 56.0°; P = 0.382) and anterosuperior positions (65.1 vs 65.2°; P = 0.971). CONCLUSION We conclude that previously observed regional variation in T1ρ values of normal hips is altered in hips with cam morphology. No difference in T1ρ values between symptomatic and asymptomatic cam hips was demonstrated. Therefore, regardless of the presence of hip pain, a cam deformity may predispose to hip joint cartilage degradation and increase the risk of hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is particularly prevalent in ice hockey. The butterfly goalie technique is thought to involve extreme ranges of hip motion that may predispose goaltenders to FAI. PURPOSE To quantify hip mechanics during 3 common goaltender movements and interpret their relevance to the development of FAI. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS Fourteen collegiate and professional goaltenders performed skating, butterfly save, and recovery movements on the ice. Hip mechanics were compared across the 3 movements. RESULTS The butterfly did not exhibit the greatest range of hip motion in any of the 3 planes. Internal rotation was the only hip motion that appeared close to terminal in this study. When subjects decelerated during skating—shaving the blade of their skate across the surface of the ice—the magnitude of peak hip internal rotation was 54% greater than in the butterfly and 265% greater than in the recovery. No movement involved levels of concomitant flexion, adduction, and internal rotation that resembled the traditional impingement (FADIR) test. CONCLUSION The magnitude of internal rotation was the most extreme planar hip motion (relative to end-range) recorded in this study (namely during decelerating) and appeared to differentiate this cohort from other athletic populations. Consequently, repetitive end-range hip internal rotation may be the primary precursor to symptomatic FAI in hockey goaltenders and provides the most plausible account for the high incidence of FAI in these athletes. Resection techniques should, therefore, focus on enhancing internal rotation in goaltenders, compared with flexion and adduction. While the butterfly posture can require significant levels of hip motion, recovering from a save and, in particular, decelerating during skating are also demanding on goaltenders' hip joints. Therefore, it appears critical to consider and accommodate a variety of sport-specific hip postures to comprehensively diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate FAI.

Abstract
Visualization of hip articulation relative to the underlying anatomy (i.e., arthrokinematics) is required to understand hip dysfunction in femoroacetabular (FAI) patients. In this exploratory study, we quantified in-vivo arthrokinematics of a small cohort of asymptomatic volunteers and three symptomatic patients with varying FAI deformities during the passive impingement, FABER, and rotational profile exams using dual fluoroscopy and model-based tracking. Joint angles, joint translations, and relative pelvic angles were calculated. Compared to the 95% confidence interval of the asymptomatic cohort, FAI patients appeared to have decreased adduction and internal rotation during the impingement exam and greater flexion and less abduction/external rotation in the FABER exam. During the rotational profile, only the FAI patient with the most severe deformities demonstrated considerable rotation deficits. In all participants, contact between the labrum and femoral head/neck limited motion during the impingement exam, but not the rotational profile. Substantial pelvic motion was measured during the impingement exam and FABER test in all participants. Femoral translation along any given anatomical direction ranged between 0.69 and 4.1mm. These results suggest that hip articulation during clinical exams is complex in asymptomatic hips and hips with FAI, incorporating pelvic motion and femur translation. Range of motion appears to be governed by femur-labrum contact and other soft tissue constraints, suggesting that current computer simulations that rely on direct bone contact to predict impingement may be unrealistic. Additional research is necessary to confirm these preliminary results. Still, dual fluoroscopy data may serve to validate existing software platforms or create new programs that better-represent hip arthrokinematics.
