[PMID: 38231022 PMCID: PMC11343535 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002961] [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: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral version deformities have recently been identified as a major contributor to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). An in-depth understanding of the specific labral damage patterns caused by femoral version deformities may help to understand the underlying pathomorphologies in symptomatic patients and select the appropriate surgical treatment. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked: (1) Is there a correlation between femoral version and the mean cross-sectional area of the acetabular labrum? (2) Is there a difference in the location of lesions of the acetabular labrum between hips with increased femoral version and hips with decreased femoral version? (3) Is there a difference in the pattern of lesions of the acetabular labrum between hips with increased femoral version and hips with decreased femoral version? METHODS This was a retrospective, comparative study. Between November 2009 and September 2016, we evaluated 640 hips with FAI. We considered patients with complete diagnostic imaging including magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) of the affected hip with radial slices of the proximal femur and axial imaging of the distal femoral condyles (allowing for calculation of femoral version) as eligible. Based on that, 97% (620 of 640 hips) were eligible; a further 77% (491 of 640 hips) were excluded because they had either normal femoral version (384 hips), incomplete imaging (20 hips), a lateral center-edge angle < 22° (43 hips) or > 39° (16 hips), age > 50 years (8 hips), or a history of pediatric hip disease (20 hips), leaving 20% (129 of 640 hips) of patients with a mean age of 27 ± 9 years for analysis, and 61% (79 of 129 hips) were female. Patients were assigned to either the increased (> 30°) or decreased (< 5°) femoral version group. The labral cross-sectional area was measured on radial MR images in all patients. The location-dependent labral cross-sectional area, presence of labral tears, and labral tear patterns were assessed using the acetabular clockface system and compared among groups. RESULTS In hips with increased femoral version, the labrum was normal in size (21 ± 6 mm 2 [95% confidence interval 20 to 23 mm 2 ]), whereas hips with decreased femoral version showed labral hypotrophy (14 ± 4 mm 2 [95% CI 13 to 15 mm 2 ]; p < 0.01). In hips with increased femoral version, labral tears were located more anteriorly (median 1:30 versus 12:00; p < 0.01). Hips with increased femoral version exhibited damage of the anterior labrum with more intrasubstance tears anterosuperiorly (17% [222 of 1322] versus 9% [93 of 1084]; p < 0.01) and partial tears anteroinferiorly (22% [36 of 165] versus 6% [8 of 126]; p < 0.01). Hips with decreased femoral version showed superior labral damage consisting primarily of partial labral tears. CONCLUSION In the evaluation of patients with FAI, the term "labral tear" is not accurate enough to describe labral pathology. Based on high-quality radial MR images, surgeons should always evaluate the combination of labral tear location and labral tear pattern, because these may provide insight into associated femoral version abnormalities, which can inform appropriate surgical treatment. Future studies should examine symptomatic patients with normal femoral version, as well as an asymptomatic control group, to describe the effect of femoral version on labral morphology across the entire spectrum of pathomorphologies.

Abstract
Periacetabular osteotomy is the gold standard treatment for acetabular dysplasia. The great variability of acetabular dysplasia requires a personalized preoperative planning improved by 3D reconstruction and computer-assisted surgery. To plan the displacement of the acetabular fragment by a pelvic osteotomy, it is necessary to define a reference plane and a method to characterize 3D acetabular orientation. A scoping review was performed on PubMed to search for articles with a method to characterize the acetabulum of native hips in a 3D reference frame. Ninety-eight articles out of 3815 reports were included. Three reproducible reference planes were identified: the anterior pelvic plane, the Standardization and Terminology Committee plane used in gait analysis, and the sacral base plane. The different methods for 3D analysis of the acetabulum were divided in four groups: global orientation, triplanar measurements, segmentation, and surface coverage of the femoral head. Two methods were found appropriate for reorientation osteotomies: the global orientation by a vector method and the triplanar method. The global orientation method relies on the creation of a vector from the acetabular rim, from the acetabular surface or from successive planes. Normalization of the global acetabular vector would correct acetabular dysplasia by a single alignment maneuver on an ideal vector. The triplanar method, based on angle measurements at the center of the femoral head, would involve correction of anomalies by considering axial, frontal, and sagittal planes. Although not directly fit for reorientation, the two others would help to candidate patients and verify both planning and postoperative result.

Abstract
Hip-related pain is a common issue in active adults affecting their quality of life, mobility, and overall function, and it can lead to persistent disability. However, diagnosing hip-related pain is challenging due to the many potential sources and causes, including intra-articular and extra-articular pathology, and referred pain from other areas (lumbar or groin related pain). To address this, there is a need for a clinical algorithm based on the best available evidence and expert consensus. This algorithm could guide healthcare professionals in assessing and managing patients with hip-related pain, during the diagnosis, test selection, intervention, monitoring, and promoting collaboration among various healthcare providers. This clinical algorithm for hip-related pain is a comprehensive, flexible, adaptable to different settings, and regularly updated to incorporate new research findings. This literature review aims to establish a clinical algorithm specifically for prescribing exercise treatment to patients with hip-related pain, addressing their individual needs and enhancing their overall care.

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2024; 482:259-274. [PMID: 37498285 PMCID: PMC10776167 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetabular morphology is an important determinant of hip biomechanics. To identify features of acetabular morphology that may be associated with the development of hip symptoms while accounting for spinopelvic characteristics, one needs to determine acetabular characteristics in a group of individuals older than 45 years without symptoms or signs of osteoarthritis. Previous studies have used patients with unknown physical status to define morphological thresholds to guide management. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) To determine acetabular morphological characteristics in males and females between 45 and 60 years old with a high Oxford hip score (OHS) and no signs of osteoarthritis; (2) to compare these characteristics with those of symptomatic hip patients treated with hip arthroscopy or periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for various kinds of hip pathology (dysplasia, retroversion, and cam femoroacetabular impingement); and (3) to assess which radiographic or CT parameters most accurately differentiate between patients who had symptomatic hips and those who did not, and thus, define thresholds that can guide management. METHODS Between January 2018 and December 2018, 1358 patients underwent an abdominopelvic CT scan in our institution for nonorthopaedic conditions. Of those, we considered 5% (73) of patients as potentially eligible as controls based on the absence of major hip osteoarthritis, trauma, or deformity. Patients were excluded if their OHS was 43 or less (2% [ 28 ]), if they had a PROMIS less than 50 (1% [ 18 ]), or their Tönnis score was higher than 1 (0.4% [ 6 ]). Another eight patients were excluded because of insufficient datasets. After randomly selecting one side for each control, 40 hips were left for analysis (age 55 ± 5 years; 48% [19 of 40] were in females). In this comparative study, this asymptomatic group was compared with a group of patients treated with hip arthroscopy or PAO. Between January 2013 and December 2020, 221 hips underwent hip preservation surgery. Of those, eight were excluded because of previous pelvic surgery, and 102 because of insufficient CT scans. One side was randomly selected in patients who underwent bilateral procedure, leaving 48% (107 of 221) of hips for analysis (age 31 ± 8 years; 54% [58 of 107] were in females). Detailed radiographic and CT assessments (including segmentation) were performed to determine acetabular (depth, cartilage coverage, subtended angles, anteversion, and inclination) and spinopelvic (pelvic tilt and incidence) parameters. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to assess diagnostic accuracy and determine which morphological parameters (and their threshold) differentiate most accurately between symptomatic patients and asymptomatic controls. RESULTS Acetabular morphology in asymptomatic hips was characterized by a mean depth of 22 ± 2 mm, with an articular cartilage surface of 2619 ± 415 mm 2 , covering 70% ± 6% of the articular surface, a mean acetabular inclination of 48° ± 6°, and a minimal difference between anatomical (24° ± 7°) and functional (22° ± 6°) anteversion. Patients with symptomatic hips generally had less acetabular depth (20 ± 4 mm versus 22 ± 2 mm, mean difference 3 mm [95% CI 1 to 4]; p < 0.001). Hips with dysplasia (67% ± 5% versus 70% ± 6%, mean difference 6% [95% CI 0% to 12%]; p = 0.03) or retroversion (67% ± 5% versus 70% ± 6%, mean difference 6% [95% CI 1% to 12%]; p = 0.04) had a slightly lower relative cartilage area compared with asymptomatic hips. There was no difference in acetabular inclination (48° ± 6° versus 47° ± 7°, mean difference 0.5° [95% CI -2° to 3°]; p = 0.35), but asymptomatic hips had higher anatomic anteversion (24° ± 7° versus 19° ± 8°, mean difference 6° [95% CI 3° to 9°]; p < 0.001) and functional anteversion (22° ± 6° versus 13°± 9°, mean difference 9° [95% CI 6° to 12°]; p < 0.001). Subtended angles were higher in asymptomatic at 105° (124° ± 7° versus 114° ± 12°, mean difference 11° [95% CI 3° to 17°]; p < 0.001), 135° (122° ± 9° versus 111° ± 12°, mean difference 10° [95% CI 2° to 15°]; p < 0.001), and 165° (112° ± 9° versus 102° ± 11°, mean difference 10° [95% CI 2° to 14°]; p < 0.001) around the acetabular clockface. Symptomatic hips had a lower pelvic tilt (8° ± 8° versus 11° ± 5°, mean difference 3° [95% CI 1° to 5°]; p = 0.007). The posterior wall index had the highest discriminatory ability of all measured parameters, with a cutoff value of less than 0.9 (area under the curve [AUC] 0.84 [95% CI 0.76 to 0.91]) for a symptomatic acetabulum (sensitivity 72%, specificity 78%). Diagnostically useful parameters on CT scan to differentiate between symptomatic and asymptomatic hips were acetabular depth less than 22 mm (AUC 0.74 [95% CI 0.66 to 0.83]) and functional anteversion less than 19° (AUC 0.79 [95% CI 0.72 to 0.87]). Subtended angles with the highest accuracy to differentiate between symptomatic and asymptomatic hips were those at 105° (AUC 0.76 [95% CI 0.65 to 0.88]), 135° (AUC 0.78 [95% CI 0.70 to 0.86]), and 165° (AUC 0.77 [95% CI 0.69 to 0.85]) of the acetabular clockface. CONCLUSION An anatomical and functional acetabular anteversion of 24° and 22°, with a pelvic tilt of 10°, increases the acetabular opening and allows for more impingement-free flexion while providing sufficient posterosuperior coverage for loading. Hips with lower anteversion or a larger difference between anatomic and functional anteversion were more likely to be symptomatic. The importance of sufficient posterior coverage was also illustrated by the posterior wall indices and subtended angles at 105°, 135°, and 165° of the acetabular clockface having a high discriminatory ability to differentiate between symptomatic and asymptomatic hips. Future research should confirm whether integrating these parameters when selecting patients for hip preservation procedures can improve postoperative outcomes.Level of Evidence Level III, prognostic study.

Anterior and Lateral Femoroacetabular Excursion Angles Are Helpful for Assessing Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Cohort Study. Arthroscopy 2023; 39:2012-2022.e1.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a radiographic measurement to evaluate the femoroacetabular space using 3-dimensional (3D) hip models in asymptomatic hips, and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the femoroacetabular excursion angle (FAEA) in symptomatic patients. METHODS From January 2020 to December 2020, we recruited patients with healthy hips to establish 3D models. Through the simulation of 14 activities of daily living (ADLs), anterior and lateral impingement-free FAEAs were measured. Another cross-sectional cohort was formed from consecutive symptomatic subjects with impingement signs during the same period. In the validation cohort, anterior and lateral FAEAs were assessed on modified Dunn's and anteroposterior views of the hip, respectively. We evaluated the reliability and clinical implications of the FAEAs. RESULTS In the discovery cohort (n = 33), hips with collisions tended to have smaller computed tomography-based FAEAs than collision-free hips, although alpha and lateral center-edge (CE) angles were comparable. Additionally, hips with a lower quartile of FAEAs had a significantly higher number of ADLs with collisions. In the validation cohort (n = 411), the FAEA measurement was highly reliable (kappa statistics >0.95 for both interobserver and intraobserver reliabilities). The femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) group (n = 165) showed significantly smaller anterior and lateral FAEAs than the non-FAIS group (all P < .001, Cramer V = .420). The optimal cut-off values for anterior and lateral FAEAs were 32.6° and 48.9°, respectively. In univariate regression, anterior (odds ratio [OR] = 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.89-0.94) and lateral (OR = 0.91; 95% CI = 0.89-0.93) FAEAs were significantly associated with FAIS. Moreover, in multivariate regression adjusted for alpha and lateral CE angles, anterior FAEA remained a significant predictor (OR = 0.96; 95% CI = 0.93-0.99), and small FAEA was an independent risk factor for FAIS (OR = 1.99; 95% CI = 1.06-3.71) for any small FAEA (OR = 2.88; 95% CI = 1.32-6.31) for both small FAEAs. CONCLUSION The FAEA is a valid measurement for FAIS with high reliability. Small FAEA was an independent risk factor for FAIS in the multivariate regression model, even after adjusting for alpha and lateral CE angles. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, diagnostic study.

Editorial Commentary: Cam Femoroacetabular Impingement Requires Dynamic Assessment of Beta-Angle (Femoroacetabular Excursion Angle) and Consideration of Femoral and Acetabular Version: Cam Impingement in Patients With Acetabular or Femoral Retroversion May Warrant Greater Osteoplasty. Arthroscopy 2023; 39:2023-2025.

Abstract
Radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography scans have been commonly used to evaluate femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and are well accepted forms of surgical planning. Assessing and addressing both the femoral and acetabular sides result in a combination of "one-sided" treatments that, in sum, net a successful treatment of FAI. However, combining one-sided approaches may not consider the dynamic interaction of the femoral head with the acetabulum. Elevated alpha angles alone can be indicative of a cam-type lesion without necessitating the presence of functional FAI. The presence of a cam-type lesion on lateral radiographs, as suggested by a positive alpha angle, does not necessitate a decrease in clearance between the femoral head and acetabular rim as measured by the beta angle. Assessment of the beta angle, or femoroacetabular excursion angle, has the potential to address dynamic nature of FAI more accurately by directly measuring the degree of clearance between the femoral head and acetabulum. In addition, a comprehensive assessment of physical examination findings, particularly range of motion, as well as a summation of acetabular and femoral version (as measured by the McKibbin Index), are required. Cam-type of FAI poses a larger challenge in the patient with acetabular or femoral retroversion, which may warrant greater and more localized osteoplasty, distally, during hip arthroscopy.

Femoral and acetabular features explain acetabular contact pressure sensitivity to hip internal rotation in persons with cam morphology: A finite element analysis. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2023; 107:106025.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement is characterized by premature contact between the proximal femur and acetabulum. The loss of femoral head-neck concavity associated with cam morphology leads to mechanical impingement during hip flexion and internal rotation. Other femoral and acetabular features have been linked with mechanical impingement but have not been comprehensively investigated. This study sought to determine which bony features are most influential in contributing to mechanical impingement in persons with a cam morphology. METHODS Twenty individuals (10 female, 10 male) with a cam morphology participated. Finite element analyses incorporating subject-specific bony geometry derived from computed tomography scans were used to determine which femoral (alpha angle and femoral neck-shaft angle) and acetabular (anteversion angle, inclination angle, depth, and lateral center-edge angle) features accentuate acetabular contact pressure with increasing degrees of hip internal rotation with the hip flexed to 90°. To determine the best predictors of acetabular contact pressure sensitivity to internal rotation, all morphological variables were included in a stepwise regression with the final model subjected to a bootstrapping procedure. FINDINGS The stepwise regression revealed that femoral neck-shaft angle, acetabular anteversion angle, acetabular inclination angle, and acetabular depth were the best combination of variables to predict contact pressure sensitivity to internal rotation, explaining 55% of the variance. Results of the bootstrap analysis revealed that a median value of 65% [37%, 89%] variance in sensitivity could be explained by these morphological variables. INTERPRETATION Mechanical impingement and the concomitant acetabular contact pressure are modulated by multiple femoral and acetabular features in persons with a cam morphology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) affect hip range of motion (ROM). SOURCES OF DATA We performed a systematic review with meta-analysis searching six electronic databases from inception to March 21, 2022. We included studies assessing hip ROM in FAIS, FAI morphology without symptoms (FAIm), and healthy controls. Mean differences between groups were measured in ROM degrees with 95% confidence interval (CI). AREAS OF AGREEMENT A total of 17 studies (1702 hips) were included. Comparison of FAIS patients versus healthy controls showed that hip ROM was clinically and statistically reduced in FAIS for internal rotation (90° hip flexion, -8.01°, 95% CI: -11.21, -4.90; 0° hip flexion -6.38°, 95% CI: -9.79, -2.97); adduction (90° hip flexion, -4.74°, 95% CI: -8.13, -1.34); flexion (-5.41°, 95% CI: -7.05, -3.49), abduction (0° hip flexion, -5.76°, 95% CI: -8.38, -3.23), and external rotation (90° hip flexion, -3.5°, 95% CI: -5.32, -1.67) ranging from low to high certainty of evidence. Comparison of FAIm versus healthy controls showed no statistically significant differences in any direction of movement, albeit with uncertainty of evidence. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY The certainty of evidence was unclear, particularly for asymptomatic FAIm. GROWING POINTS Hip ROM may be reduced in all directions except extension in FAIS compared to controls. Hip ROM may not be restricted in asymptomatic FAIm. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH Further studies are needed to resolve the uncertainty of evidence about ROM restrictions in asymptomatic FAIm compared to healthy controls.

J Hip Preserv Surg 2022; 9:252-258. [PMID: 36908552 PMCID: PMC9993451 DOI: 10.1093/jhps/hnac046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the radiographical features of combination of the acetabular coverage and the femoral head-neck shape and the occurrence of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). In this study, 114 patients who had FAI with or without labral tear and mild osteoarthritis were analyzed. Plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) were taken for evaluation of acetabular coverage and femoral head-neck measurements. The relationship between the combination angle of acetabular coverage and femoral head-neck measurements and the occurrence of FAI was evaluated. The prevalence of FAI patients with the combination angle of CT-anterior CE + α angle ≥100° was 6.1% (7/114 patients). Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis demonstrated a higher area under the curve for combination of CT-anterior center edge angle (ACEA) with the α angle at 0.94 (CT-ACEA +α angle). A threshold for the occurrence of FAI was determined using the combination CT-ACEA + α angle at 100°. The frequency of FAI surgery was significantly higher in patients with a combination angle ≥100° than in those with a smaller angle. The average modified Harris hip score was significantly lower in patients with a combination angle ≥100° than in those with a smaller angle. We suggest that the combination of lateral center edge angle ≥40°, α angle ≥50° and combined angles of CT-ACEA and α angle ≥100° may help diagnosis of FAI. Level of evidence III: retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unknown if football players with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome report worse burden than those with other causes of hip/groin pain, and to what extent this is mediated by cartilage defects and labral tears. HYPOTHESIS Football players with FAI syndrome would report worse burden than other symptomatic players, with the effect partially mediated by cartilage defects and/or labral tears. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. METHODS Football (soccer and Australian football) players (n = 165; 35 women) with hip/groin pain (≥6 months and positive flexion-adduction-internal rotation test) were recruited. Participants completed 2 patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs; the International Hip Outcome Tool-33 [iHOT-33] and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score [HAGOS]) and underwent hip radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). FAI syndrome was determined to be present when cam and/or pincer morphology were present. Cartilage defects and labral tears were graded as present or absent using MRI. Linear regression models investigated relationships between FAI syndrome (dichotomous independent variable) and PROM scores (dependent variables). Mediation analyses investigated the effect of cartilage defects and labral tears on these relationships. RESULTS FAI syndrome was not related to PROM scores (unadjusted b values ranged from -4.693 (P = 0.23) to 0.337 (P = 0.93)) and cartilage defects and/or labral tears did not mediate its effect (P = 0.22-0.97). CONCLUSION Football players with FAI syndrome did not report worse burden than those with other causes of hip/groin pain. Cartilage defects and/or labral tears did not explain the effect of FAI syndrome on reported burden. CLINICAL RELEVANCE FAI syndrome, cartilage defects, and labral tears were prevalent but unrelated to reported burden in symptomatic football players.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Validated software tools (Clinical Graphics [CG] and Hip2Norm) permit measurement of the percentage of femoral head coverage (%FHC), which aids in morphological classification and prediction of outcome after hip preservation surgery. PURPOSE (1) To assess whether acetabular parameter measurements determined from 2 commonly used software systems are comparable. (2) To determine which parameters influence the correlation or differences between software outputs and measurements. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS The study included 69 patients (90 hips) who underwent periacetabular osteotomy and had comprehensive preoperative imaging available. Lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), acetabular index (AI), and %FHC were determined using 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) measurements by CG and Hip2Norm software. Images of 18 pelvises were segmented to determine spinopelvic parameters and subtended acetabular angles. Between-group measurements were compared using correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman analyses. The difference in the outputs of the 2 programs was defined as delta (Δ). Radiographic parameters were tested to assess whether they were responsible for differences in %FHC between software programs. RESULTS Strong correlations between LCEA (ρ = 0.862) and AI (ρ = 0.825) measurements were seen between the Hip2Norm and CG programs. However, weak correlation was seen in the estimate of %FHC (ρ = 0.358), with the presence of a systematic error. Hip2Norm consistently produced lower anterior, posterior, and total %FHC values than CG. The %FHC determined by CG, but not Hip2Norm, correlated with acetabular subtended angles (P < .05). Pelvic tilt measured on CT did not correlate with pelvic tilt estimated by Hip2Norm (P = .56), and ΔPelvicTilt strongly correlated with the difference in %FHC by the 2 software programs (ρ = 0.63; P = .005), pelvic incidence (ρ = 0.73; P < .001), and pelvic tilt (ρ = -0.91; P < .001) as per CT. CONCLUSION The correlation of %FHC between Hip2Norm and CG was weak (ρ = 0.358). The difference in measurements of %FHC correlated with ΔPelvicTilt. The %FHC determined by CG strongly correlated with the segmented acetabular subtended angles and thus more likely reflected true values. Hip preservation surgeons should be aware of these measurement differences because %FHC is important in the diagnosis and prognosis of acetabular dysplasia.

Combined abnormalities of femoral version and acetabular version and McKibbin Index in FAI patients evaluated for hip preservation surgery. J Hip Preserv Surg 2022; 9:67-77. [PMID: 35854804 PMCID: PMC9291377 DOI: 10.1093/jhps/hnac016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Frequencies of combined abnormalities of femoral version (FV) and acetabular version (AV) and of abnormalities of the McKibbin index are unknown. To investigate the prevalence of combined abnormalities of FV and AV and of abnormalities of the McKibbin index in symptomatic patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a retrospective, Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved study of 333 symptomatic patients (384 hips) that were presented with hip pain and FAI was performed. The computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging based measurement of central AV, cranial AV and FV was compared among five subgroups with distinguished FAI subgroups and patients that underwent a hip preservation surgery. The allocation to each subgroup was based on AP radiographs. Normal AV and FV were 10–25°. The McKibbin index is the sum of central AV and FV. Of patients that underwent a hip preservation surgery, 73% had a normal McKibbin index (20–50°) but 27% had an abnormal McKibbin index. Of all patients, 72% had a normal McKibbin index, but 28% had abnormal McKibbin index. The prevalence of combined abnormalities of FV and AV varied among subgroups: a higher prevalence of decreased central AV combined with decreased FV of patients with acetabular-retroversion group (12%) and overcoverage (11%) was found compared with mixed-type FAI (5%). Normal AV combined with normal FV was present in 41% of patients with cam-type FAI and in 34% of patients with overcoverage. Patients that underwent a hip preservation surgery had normal mean FV (17 ± 11°), central AV (19 ± 7°), cranial AV (16 ± 10°) and McKibbin index (36 ± 14°). Frequency of combined abnormalities of AV and FV differs between subgroups of FAI patients. Aggravated and compensated McKibbin index was prevalent in FAI patients. This has implications for open hip preservation surgery (surgical hip dislocation or femoral derotation osteotomy) or hip arthroscopy or non-operative treatment.

Abstract
Objective Football players are at risk of developing hip osteoarthritis (OA). Cam morphology (present in almost two of every three football players) may explain this heightened risk, but there is limited research on its role in hip OA development in younger athletes. Knowledge of this relationship will advance our understanding of the aetiology of hip OA in football players. We aimed to study the relationship between cam morphology size and MRI-defined cartilage defects and labral tears, and if this relationship differs by symptomatic state in young adult football players. Methods For this case–control study, 182 (288 hips) symptomatic (hip and/or groin pain >6 months and positive flexion-adduction-internal-rotation (FADIR) test) and 55 (110 hips) pain-free football players (soccer or Australian football) underwent anteroposterior and Dunn 45° radiographs, and 3-Tesla MRI. Cam morphology size was defined using alpha angle, and cartilage defects and labral tears were scored semiquantitatively. Presence, location and score (severity) of cartilage defects and labral tears were determined. Each participant completed the International Hip Outcome Tool 33 and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score. Results Greater alpha angle was associated with cartilage defects (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.04) and labral tears (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.04). Greater alpha angle was associated with superolateral cartilage defects (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.05) and superior labral tears (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.05). The association of alpha angle with MRI-defined cartilage defects and labral tears was no greater in football players with symptoms than in those without (p=0.189–0.937) Conclusion Cam morphology size was associated with cartilage defects and labral tears in young adult football players with and without pain. This study provides evidence that cam morphology may contribute to the high prevalence of hip OA in football players. Prospective studies of football players are now needed to establish if cam morphology causes progression of cartilage defects and labral tears and development of hip OA.

Abstract
Hip arthroscopy is technically demanding and presents a steep learning curve. Joint access and maneuverability of surgical tools are impeded by a large soft-tissue envelope. Furthermore, cam resection is challenging owing to the small size of the lesion and the difficulty in delineating what is normal and where the cam starts. Thus, the number of incomplete resections is high and represents the bulk of indications for revision hip arthroscopy. The search for assistive technologies to improve on diagnostics and surgical accuracy is consequently substantial and unquestionably needed. Intraoperative feedback will improve our resection accuracy while decreasing the learning efforts of both expert and novice surgeons.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was investigate the relationship between version and torsional abnormalities of the acetabulum, femur and tibia in patients with symptomatic FAI. METHODS A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines using the EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed and Cochrane databases. Original research articles evaluating the described version and torsional parameters in FAI were included. The MINORS criteria were used to appraise study quality and risk of bias. Mean version and torsion values were displayed using forest plots and the estimated proportion of hips displaying abnormalities in version/torsion were calculated. RESULTS A total of 1206 articles were identified from the initial search, with 43 articles, involving 8861 hips, meeting the inclusion criteria. All studies evaluating femoral or acetabular version in FAI reported 'normal' mean version values (10-25 °). However, distribution analysis revealed that an estimated 31% and 51% of patients with FAI displayed abnormal central acetabular and femoral version, respectively. CONCLUSION Up to 51% of patients presenting with symptomatic FAI show an abnormal femoral version, whilst up to 31% demonstrate abnormal acetabular version. This high percentage of version abnormalities highlights the importance of evaluating these parameters routinely during assessment of patients with FAI, to guide clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Acetabular dysplasia represents a structural pathomorphology associated with hip pain, instability, and osteoarthritis. The wide spectrum of dysplasia anatomically refers to a 3-dimensional volumetric- and surface area-based insufficiency in coverage and is classified based on the magnitude and location of undercoverage. Borderline dysplasia has been variably defined and leads to management challenges. In symptomatic dysplasia, treatment addresses coverage with periacetabular osteotomy. Concomitant simultaneous or staged hip arthroscopy has significant advantages to address intra-articular pathology. In nonarthritic individuals, there is evidence PAO alters the natural history of dysplasia and decreases the risk of hip arthritis and total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
AIMS The prevalence of combined abnormalities of femoral torsion (FT) and tibial torsion (TT) is unknown in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip dysplasia. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of combined abnormalities of FT and TT, and which subgroups are associated with combined abnormalities of FT and TT. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated symptomatic patients with FAI or hip dysplasia with CT scans performed between September 2011 and September 2016. A total of 261 hips (174 patients) had a measurement of FT and TT. Their mean age was 31 years (SD 9), and 63% were female (165 hips). Patients were compared to an asymptomatic control group (48 hips, 27 patients) who had CT scans including femur and tibia available for analysis, which had been acquired for nonorthopaedic reasons. Comparisons were conducted using analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction. RESULTS In the overall study group, abnormal FT was present in 62% (163 hips). Abnormal TT was present in 42% (109 hips). Normal FT combined with normal TT was present in 21% (55 hips). The most frequent abnormal combination was increased FT combined with normal TT of 32% (84 hips). In the hip dysplasia group, 21% (11 hips) had increased FT combined with increased TT. The prevalence of abnormal FT varied significantly among the subgroups (p < 0.001). We found a significantly higher mean FT for hip dysplasia (31°; SD 15)° and valgus hips (42° (SD 12°)) compared with the control group (22° (SD 8°)). We found a significantly higher mean TT for hips with cam-type-FAI (34° (SD 6°)) and hip dysplasia (35° (SD 9°)) compared with the control group (28° (SD 8°)) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with FAI had a high prevalence of combined abnormalities of FT and TT. For hip dysplasia, we found a significantly higher mean FT and TT, while 21% of patients (11 hips) had combined increased TT and increased FT (combined torsional malalignment). This is important when planning hip preserving surgery such as periacetabular osteomy and femoral derotation osteotomy. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(12):1636-1645.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiological evaluation of femoroacetabular impingement is based on single-plane parameters such as the alpha angle or the center edge angle, or complex software reconstruction. A new simple classification for cam and pincer morphologies, based on a two-plane radiological evaluation, is presented in this study. The determination of the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of this new classification is the purpose of this study. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the three-view hip study in patient undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI syndrome between October 2015 and April 2016. Any case having protrusio acetabuli, coxa profunda or which has undergone previous osteotomic surgery was excluded. Five observers used our proposed classification to identify three different stages for the cam and pincer morphologies. Inter- and intraobserver agreement of classification was determined using average pairwise Cohen's kappa coefficient. RESULTS The interobserver agreement for the pincer and cam morphologies was excellent. For the pincer morphology classification, the average Kappa agreement was 0.838 (range 0.764-0.944). For the cam morphology, the average pairwise Cohen's kappa coefficient was 0.846 (range 0.734-0.929). The intraobserver agreement was excellent as well. The average percent pairwise agreement was 0.870 and 0.845 for pincer and cam type, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The new classification system shows excellent levels of inter- and intraobserver agreement for both deformities. This classification is demonstrated to be a useful tool in planning hip arthroscopy. Further studies are needed to correlate the classification itself with specific intraoperative findings.

Proof of concept: hip joint damage occurs at the zone of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in an experimental FAI sheep model. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2019; 27:1075-1083. [PMID: 30991104 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2019.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2018] [Revised: 03/31/2019] [Accepted: 04/03/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In ovine hips chondrolabral damage as seen in cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can be induced via an intertrochanteric varus osteotomy. However, it is yet to proven whether the observed cartilage damage is caused by a dynamic cam type impingement. Thus we asked, (1) whether actual cartilage damage observed after FAI induction in ovine hips occurs at the predicted, computed zone of FAI; (2) whether the extent of cartilage damage increases with ambulation time in this animal model? DESIGN In this experimental, controlled, comparative study 20 sheep underwent unilateral FAI induction through an intertrochanteric varus osteotomy. Preoperatively sheep underwent computed tomography to generate three-dimensional models of the osseous pelvis and femur. The models were used to predict impingement zones before and after simulated varus osteotomy using range of motion (ROM) analysis. Sheep were sacrificed after 14-40 weeks of ambulation. At sacrifice cartilage was inspected and (1) location of actual damage and computed impingement zones were compared; (2) Cartilage damage was compared between short- and long ambulation groups. RESULTS (1) The average location and the extent of peripheral and central cartilage lesions did not differ with the computed impingement zones (all P > 0.05). (2) Grades of central, posterior cartilage damage were more severe in the long-compared to the short ambulation group (2.2 ± 1.8 vs 0.4 ± 0.5; P = 0.030). CONCLUSIONS In this experimental ovine FAI model the surgical induction of an osseous impingement conflict between the femur and acetabulum causes cartilage damage at the zone of simulated FAI.

Differences in Femoral Torsion Among Various Measurement Methods Increase in Hips With Excessive Femoral Torsion. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2019; 477:1073-1083.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Correct quantification of femoral torsion is crucial to diagnose torsional deformities, make an indication for surgical treatment, or plan the amount of correction. However, no clear evaluation of different femoral torsion measurement methods for hips with excessive torsion has been performed to date. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) How does CT-based measurement of femoral torsion differ among five commonly used measurement methods? (2) Do differences in femoral torsion among measurement methods increase in hips with excessive femoral torsion? (3) What is the reliability and reproducibility of each of the five torsion measurement methods? METHODS Between March and August 2016, we saw 86 new patients (95 hips) with hip pain and physical findings suggestive for femoroacetabular impingement at our outpatient tertiary clinic. Of those, 56 patients (62 hips) had a pelvic CT scan including the distal femur for measurement of femoral torsion. We excluded seven patients (seven hips) with previous hip surgery, two patients (two hips) with sequelae of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, and one patient (one hip) with a posttraumatic deformity. This resulted in 46 patients (52 hips) in the final study group with a mean age of 28 ± 9 years (range, 17-51 years) and 27 female patients (59%). Torsion was compared among five commonly used assessment measures, those of Lee et al., Reikerås et al., Jarrett et al., Tomczak et al., and Murphy et al. They differed regarding the level of the anatomic landmark for the proximal femoral neck axis; the method of Lee had the most proximal definition followed by the methods of Reikerås, Jarrett, and Tomczak at the base of the femoral neck and the method of Murphy with the most distal definition at the level of the lesser trochanter. The definition of the femoral head center and of the distal reference was consistent for all five measurement methods. We used the method described by Murphy et al. as our baseline measurement method for femoral torsion because it reportedly most closely reflects true anatomic femoral torsion. With this method we found a mean femoral torsion of 28 ± 13°. Mean values of femoral torsion were compared among the five methods using multivariate analysis of variance. All differences between two of the measurement methods were plotted over the entire range of femoral torsion to evaluate a possible increase in hips with excessive femoral torsion. All measurements were performed by two blinded orthopaedic residents (FS, TDL) at two different occasions to measure intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). RESULTS We found increasing values for femoral torsion using measurement methods with a more distal definition of the proximal femoral neck axis: Lee et al. (most proximal definition: 11° ± 11°), Reikerås et al. (15° ± 11°), Jarrett et al. (19° ± 11°), Tomczak et al. (25° ± 12°), and Murphy et al. (most distal definition: 28° ± 13°). The most pronounced difference was found for the comparison between the methods of Lee et al. and Murphy et al. with a mean difference of 17° ± 5° (95% confidence interval, 16°-19°; p < 0.001). For six of 10 possible pairwise comparisons, the difference between two methods increased with increasing femoral torsion and decreased with decreasing femoral torsion. We observed a fair-to-strong linear correlation (R range, 0.306-0.622; all p values < 0.05) for any method compared with the Murphy method and for the Reikerås and Jarrett methods when compared with the Tomczak method. For example, a hip with 10° of femoral antetorsion according Murphy had a torsion of 1° according to Reikerås, which corresponds to a difference of 9°. This difference increased to 20° in hips with excessive torsion; for example, a hip with 60° of torsion according to Murphy had 40° of torsion according to Reikerås. All five methods for measuring femoral torsion showed excellent agreement for both intraobserver reproducibility (ICC, 0.905-0.973) and interobserver reliability (ICC, 0.938-0.969). CONCLUSIONS Because the quantification of femoral torsion in hips with excessive femoral torsion differs considerably among measurement methods, it is crucial to state the applied methods when reporting femoral torsion and to be consistent regarding the used measurement method. These differences have to be considered for surgical decision-making and planning the degree of correction. Neglecting the differences among measurement methods to quantify femoral torsion can potentially lead to misdiagnosis and surgical planning errors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, diagnostic study.

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
OBJECTIVE To determine if hip 3D-MR imaging can be used to accurately demonstrate femoral and acetabular morphology in the evaluation of patients with femoroacetabular impingement. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review at our institution of 17 consecutive patients (19 hips) with suspected femoroacetabular impingement who had both 3D-CT and 3D-MRI performed of the same hip. Two fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists reviewed the imaging for the presence and location of cam deformity, anterior-inferior iliac spine variant, lateral center-edge angle, and neck-shaft angle. Findings on 3D-CT were considered the reference standard. The amount of radiation that was spared following introduction of 3D-MRI was also assessed. RESULTS All 17 patients suspected of FAI had evidence for cam deformity on 3D-CT. There was 100% agreement for diagnosis (19 out of 19) and location (19 out of 19) of cam deformity when comparing 3D-MRI with 3D-CT. There were 3 type I and 16 type II anterior-inferior iliac spine variants on 3D-CT imaging with 89.5% (17 out of 19) agreement for the anterior-inferior iliac spine characterization between 3D-MRI and 3D-CT. There was 64.7% agreement when comparing the neck-shaft angle (11 out of 17) and LCEA (11 out of 17) measurements. The use of 3D-MRI spared each patient an average radiation effective dose of 3.09 mSV for a total reduction of 479 mSV over a 4-year period. CONCLUSION 3D-MR imaging can be used to accurately diagnose and quantify the typical osseous pathological condition in femoroacetabular impingement and has the potential to eliminate the need for 3D-CT imaging and its associated radiation exposure, and the cost for this predominantly young group of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A paucity of information exists on the range of femoral version, its effect on hip stability, clinical examination, and presentation in patients with symptomatic acetabular dysplasia. The purpose of this study was to describe the range of version in symptomatic acetabular dysplasia, the association between femoral version and proximal femoral morphology and degree of dysplasia, and the effect of version on clinically measured hip range of motion and on preoperatively measured hip outcome scores. METHODS We reviewed 314 patients prospectively enrolled in a longitudinal clinical study on periacetabular osteotomy between January 2014 and August 2015 and measured femoral version, morphologic characteristics of the upper femur and acetabulum, and preoperative clinical outcome scores. RESULTS The average femoral version was 19.7° ± 11.2° (range, -20° to 50°). Femoral version correlated strongly with clinically measured hip range of motion but did not correlate linearly with either radiographic severity of acetabular dysplasia or preoperative symptomatology. DISCUSSION Despite concerns that transverse plane femoral anatomy influences the stability of the hip joint after skeletal maturity, we did not find a statistical association between femoral version and severity of dysplasia or presenting symptomatology. This finding suggests that femoral version is not a major influence on the clinical presentation of acetabular dysplasia. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IIIb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variations in femoral and acetabular version are becoming increasingly recognized as contributing factors to the development of hip pain in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip dysplasia. It is still unknown what the true prevalence of these rotational abnormalities is in this patient population. PURPOSE To determine (1) the prevalence of femoral version abnormalities in symptomatic hips with FAI and hip dysplasia, (2) the prevalence of combined abnormalities of femoral and acetabular version in these patients, and (3) which specific hip morphologies are associated with abnormalities of femoral version. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A total of 462 symptomatic patients (538 hips) were included who had hip pain attributed to FAI or hip dysplasia and who presented to our tertiary referral center for hip preservation surgery between 2011 and 2015. We retrospectively examined femoral and acetabular version among 11 subgroups with predefined hip morphologies and compared findings with a control group. The allocation to each subgroup was based on morphologic reference values for femoral head coverage, lateral center edge angle, alpha angle, and neck-shaft angle calculated on plain radiographs. RESULTS Of the 538 hips included, 52% were found to have abnormal femoral version; severe abnormalities were found in 17%. Severely decreased femoral version (<0°) was found in 5%; moderately decreased femoral version (0°-10°), in 17%; moderately increased femoral version (26°-35°), in 18%; and severely increased femoral version (>35°), in 12%. The most frequent abnormal combination was increased femoral version combined with normal acetabular version (22%). We found significantly lower mean femoral version for the cam-type FAI group (15°) and significantly higher mean femoral version for the Perthes hips (32°; ie, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease) as compared with the control group (22°). The mean femoral version of the study group was 19°; for male patients, 15°; and for female patients, 22°. CONCLUSION Abnormalities in femoral version are highly prevalent in patients with hip pain who are eligible for hip preservation surgery, and severe abnormalities are prevalent in 1 of 6 patients (17%). Based on these results, the evaluation of young patients with hip pain should always include an assessment of femoral version and acetabular version to best decide what treatment approach should be undertaken to optimize outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main cause for revision hip arthroscopy surgery is incomplete bony resection of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). This study aimed to compare the cam resection accuracy via the conventional hip arthroscopy technique with the navigation technique. METHODS Two prospectively randomized groups were recruited: navigated (n = 15) and conventional (n = 14). A pre-operative CT and post-operative MRI scan were obtained in all cases to compare alpha angle, range of motion simulation and determine a pre-operative 3D surgical resection plan. RESULTS Post-operatively, the mean maximal alpha angle improved significantly in the navigated group compared with the conventional group (55°vs.66°; P = 0.023), especially in the 12 o' clock position (45°vs.60°; P = 0.041). However, positioning time and radiation exposure were significantly longer in the navigated group. CONCLUSION Navigated surgery is effective for patients with cam type FAI in helping restore normal anatomy, however, not without drawbacks. Larger studies will be required to validate our results.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Relationship between hip pathoanatomy and symptomatic FAI has been reported to be weak. This is explained by the reciprocal interaction between proximal femur and acetabular anatomies, but potentially also by the individual spine-hip relations (SHR). The key-answer for a complete understanding of the pathophysiology of FAI might lie in the comprehension of the SHRs, which have not yet been fully addressed. Therefore we conducted a systematic review to answer the subsequent questions: Is there any evidence of a relationship between FAI and (1) sagittal pelvic kinematics, (2) pelvic incidence, and (3) types of SHRs? A systematic review of the existing literature utilizing PubMed and Google search engines was performed in December 2016. Only studies published in peer-reviewed journals over the last ten years in either English or French were reviewed. We identified 90 reports, of which 9 met our eligibility criteria. Review of literature shows Caucasian FAI patients have a pelvis with higher anterior tilt, lesser sagittal mobility, and lower pelvic incidence compared to healthy patients. We found no study having assessed the relationship between SHR and FAI. In order to help further investigations at answering questions 3 and 4, we have developed a classification for SHRs. The classification according spino-pelvic parameters allows identifying patient at risk regarding FAI occurrence. Higher anterior pelvic tilt in standing, sitting and squatting positions and lower pelvic incidence have been found to correlate with symptomatic FAI. Because defining the individual SHR might increase the understanding of the pathophysiology of hip impingement, we have developed a classification for SHRs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, systematic review of Level III and IV studies.

Abstract
Highly prevalent among the elderly, hip osteoarthritis (OA) carries a heavy burden of disease. Guidelines for the management of hip OA are often extrapolated from knee OA research, despite clear differences in the etiopathogenesis and response to treatments of OA at these sites. We propose that hip OA requires specific attention separate from other OA phenotypes. Our understanding of the etiopathogenesis of hip OA has seen significant advance over the last 15 years, since Ganz and colleagues proposed femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) as an important etiological factor. This narrative review summarizes the current understanding of the etiopathogenesis of hip OA and identifies areas requiring further research. Therapeutic approaches for hip OA are considered in light of the condition’s etiopathogenesis. The evidence for currently adopted management strategies is considered, especially those approaches that may have disease-modifying potential. We propose that shifting the focus of hip OA research and public health intervention to primary prevention and early detection may greatly improve the current management paradigm.

Ng KCG, Lamontagne M, Beaulé PE. Differences in anatomical parameters between the affected and unaffected hip in patients with bilateral cam-type deformities. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2016; 33:13-19. [PMID: 26895447 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2016.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2015] [Revised: 12/16/2015] [Accepted: 01/25/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still unclear why many individuals with bilateral cam deformities demonstrate only unilateral symptoms of femoroacetabular impingement, thus symptoms may be attributed to additional anatomical parameters. The purpose was to examine patients with bilateral cam deformities, with unilateral symptoms, and compare anatomical hip joint parameters between their affected (symptomatic) hip and their contralateral, unaffected (asymptomatic) hip. METHODS Twenty participants (n=20) with unilateral symptoms, but bilateral cam deformities, underwent CT imaging to measure their affected and unaffected hip's: axial and radial alpha angles, femoral head-neck offset, femoral neck-shaft angle, medial proximal femoral angle, femoral torsion, acetabular version, center-edge angle; and a physical examination (hip flexion, straight-leg raise, internal rotation, external rotation) to ascertain clinical signs. FINDINGS The affected hips demonstrated limited motions during physical examination, compared with unaffected hips (effect size=0.550 to 0.955). The affected hips had significantly lower femoral neck-shaft angles (mean 125° (SD 3)) and lower medial proximal femoral angles (mean 79° (SD 4)), compared with the unaffected hips (mean 127° (SD 3), P=0.001, effect size=0.922; and mean 81° (SD 4), P=0.011, effect size=0.632; respectively). There were no differences in cam deformity parameters (axial and radial alpha angles, femoral head-neck offset), femoral torsion, acetabular version, and center-edge angle, between affected and unaffected hips. INTERPRETATION A decreased femoral neck-shaft angle or medial proximal femoral angle can be implemented as a diagnostic predictor, to determine which hip may be at a greater risk of developing early symptoms.
