Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip arthroscopy (HA) has been proven to be an effective treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in both competitive athletes (CA) and non-CA at short-term follow-up. However, there is a paucity of literature investigating midterm outcomes comparing athletes with Controls. HYPOTHESIS Athletes would have significant improvements at 5 years, with favorable outcomes compared with their control counterparts, and high return-to-sport (RTS) rate. STUDY DESIGN Propensity-matched retrospective comparative cohort study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3. METHODS CAs who underwent primary HA for FAIS from January 1, 2012 to April 30, 2017 were identified and propensity matched on a 1:4 basis to Controls by age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were collected preoperatively and at 5 years. Minimal clinically important differences (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom states (PASS) rates were calculated using previously published thresholds. Rate and duration of RTS were collected retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 57 high-level CA (33 female, 24 male; age, 21.7 ± 4.2 years; BMI, 23.1 ± 2.8 kg/m2) were propensity matched to 228 Controls (132 female, 96 male; P > 0.99; age, 23.3 ± 5.8 years; P = 0.02; BMI, 23.8 ± 4.3 kg/m2, P = 0.24). Significant differences were observed in preoperative Hip Outcome Score Sports Specific and Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL) subscales (CA, 74.9 ± 13.7 vs Controls, 66.4 ± 18.4; P = 0.01) and modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) (CA, 64.7 ± 12.9 vs Controls, 59.7 ± 14.3; P = 0.04). Both groups demonstrated significant postoperative improvements in all outcome scores measured (P ≤ 0.01). At 5 years postoperatively, there were significant differences between groups in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain (CA, 17.3 ± 17.6 vs Controls, 24.7 ± 25.9; P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in achieving MCID or PASS. Athletes RTS at a median of 25.2 weeks (Q1 22.4-Q3 30.7) with an overall RTS rate of 90%. Similar rates of revision were seen between CA patients (n = 3; 5.3%) and Control patients (n = 9; 3.9%) (P = 0.66). CONCLUSION CAs demonstrated significant and durable improvements in PROs as well as high MCID and PASS achievement rates after primary HA, which were comparable with those of Controls. Clinicians should be aware that CA patients demonstrate higher preoperative mHHS and HOS-ADL scores than Controls and achieve lower average self-reported pain at 5 years postoperatively. In addition, CA patients demonstrate high rates of RTS at a median of 25 weeks postoperatively. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study provides insight into CA versus Control PROs and rates of achieving MCID and PASS at a midterm follow-up of 5 years. Furthermore, this study offers perception into RTS rate, both in general as well as specified to individualized sports.

Arthroscopy 2024:S0749-8063(24)00365-7. [PMID: 38763362 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2024.05.005] [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: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare patient-reported outcomes (PROs), achievement of clinically significant outcomes, and reoperation-free survivorship between primary and revision hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in propensity-matched borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) patients at a minimum 5-year follow-up. METHODS Patients with BHD, characterized by a lateral center-edge angle 18° to 25°, who underwent HA for FAIS with capsular repair by a single surgeon between January 2012 and June 2018 with a minimum 5-year follow-up were identified. Cases of revision HA were propensity-matched 1:2 to cases of primary HA, controlling for age, sex, and body mass index. A 1:2 ratio was chosen to maximize the number of included patients. Collected PROs included Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living and Sport Subscales, International Hip Outcome Score 12, modified Harris Hip Score, and Visual Analog Scale for Pain. Achievement of minimal clinically important difference, patient acceptable symptom state, and substantial clinical benefit for any measured PRO was compared between groups along with reoperation-free survivorship using Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Thirty-six revision HA hips (34 patients) were propensity-matched to 72 primary HA hips (70 patients). The groups were similar in age (31.5 ± 10.3 years vs 30.5 ± 11.2, P = .669), sex (69.4% female vs 70.8%, P = .656), and body mass index (25.7 ± 4.0 vs 25.5 ± 3.7, P = .849). The revision group showed a greater prevalence of prolonged preoperative pain (50.0% vs 27.8%, P = .032) compared with the primary group. A significant improvement in all PROs was observed for both groups with comparable PROs preoperatively and at the 5-year follow-up between groups (P ≥ .086). The revision and primary groups showed comparable minimal clinically important difference (95.0% vs 95.7%, P ≥ .999), patient acceptable symptom state (80.0% vs 83.6%, P = .757), and substantial clinical benefit (62.5% vs 70.7%, P = .603) achievement for any PRO. Comparable reoperation-free survivorship was observed (P = .151). CONCLUSIONS Propensity-matched patients with BHD undergoing primary and revision hip arthroscopy for FAIS achieved similar minimum 5-year PROs, clinically significant outcomes, and reoperation-free survivorship. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative case series.

Arthroscopy 2024:S0749-8063(24)00265-2. [PMID: 38599538 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2024.03.042] [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: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify whether 6-month outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) correlate with outcomes at minimum 10-year follow-up. METHODS Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS from 2012 to 2013 were reviewed and included if they had 6-month and minimum 10-year follow-up. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures included the Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL) subscale, Hip Outcome Score Sports-Specific (HOS-SS) subscale, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, and VAS for satisfaction. We compared 6-month and 10-year outcome scores and analyzed the relations between 6-month and 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year outcome scores using Pearson correlation coefficients (r). Six-month scores and clinically significant outcome achievement were then compared with 10-year clinically significant outcome achievement and reoperations, including revision hip arthroscopy and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA), using logistic regressions and the Fisher exact test. RESULTS This study included 60 patients (60.0% female sex; mean age, 36.0 ± 12.2 years). The mHHS, VAS pain score, and VAS satisfaction score significantly improved from 6-month to 10-year follow-up (P ≤ .021), whereas the HOS-ADL and HOS-SS did not (P ≥ .072). There were significant correlations between 6-month and 10-year scores for the HOS-ADL (r = 0.505), HOS-SS (r = 0.592), and mHHS (r = 0.362) (P ≤ .022 for all), as well as significant correlations between 6-month and 1-, 2-, and 5-year scores (P ≤ .014 for all). The 6-month HOS-ADL, HOS-SS, and mHHS were all significantly associated with their respective 10-year achievement of the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) (P ≤ .044). Furthermore, 6-month HOS-ADL and mHHS were significantly associated with THA conversion (P ≤ .041). Comparable 6-month and 10-year achievement of the minimal clinically important difference (96.5% vs 97.8%, P > .999) and PASS (85.2% vs 87.5%, P > .999) for any PRO was observed. CONCLUSIONS After hip arthroscopy for FAIS, patients' 6-month HOS-ADL and mHHS were significantly associated with their 10-year PROs, PASS achievement, and THA conversion, although correlation strengths decreased with increasing time from surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, case series.

Cartilage Defects Are Negatively Associated With Long-Term Hip Survivorship Following Contemporary Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Propensity-Matched Analysis at Minimum 10-Year Follow-Up. Arthroscopy 2024:S0749-8063(24)00096-3. [PMID: 38331365 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2024.01.040] [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: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the timing and risk factors associated with secondary surgery following primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) at 10-year minimum follow-up. METHODS A prospectively collected clinical repository was evaluated for cases of primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS between January 2012 and February 2013 with minimum 10-year follow-up. Patients who underwent secondary surgery were propensity matched 1:4 to patients who did not undergo secondary surgery, controlling for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). The groups were compared on demographics, radiographs, intraoperative findings, operative procedures, and patient-reported outcomes. A Kaplan-Meier survivorship curve was generated. Among the reoperation-free survivors, minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) achievement were recorded for Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), Hip Outcome Score-Sports Specific (HOS-SS) subscales, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), 12-item international Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS Pain). RESULTS Twenty-four reoperation patients (67% female; age 40.1 ± 14.3 years; BMI 27.2 ± 5.5) were matched to 96 reoperation-free patients (62% female; age 37.0 ± 10.8 years; BMI 25.2 ± 4.7, P ≥ .111). Mean follow-up was 10.3 ± 0.2 years. No preoperative demographic differences were found between groups. The reoperation group showed more high-grade cartilage defects on the acetabulum and femoral head (33% vs 8%, P = .004; 29% vs 7%, P = .007). A bimodal distribution of time to reoperation was evidenced independent of the secondary surgery performed. Among the reoperation-free survivors, MCID and PASS achievement was as follows: HOS-ADL (69.1%, 62.1%), HOS-SS (69.9%, 74.4%), mHHS (73.3%, 58.1%), iHOT-12 (n/a, 63.8%), and VAS-Pain (80.2%, 62.6%). CONCLUSIONS Patients requiring reoperation following primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS demonstrated more severe cartilage defects and a bimodal distribution of time to reoperation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative case series.

Hrnack SA. Editorial Commentary: Even Though They Do Not Think So, Most Worker's Compensation Patients Improve After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement! Arthroscopy 2023; 39:2300-2301. [PMID: 37866872 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2023.05.011] [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: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Despite workers' compensation patients reporting more pain and dysfunction before surgery for femoroacetabular impingement, they show equal achievement of minimal clinically important difference, and they return to work at the same levels as a matched cohort of non-workers' compensation patients. Because of the nature of work injuries, orthopaedic surgeons are highly involved in the care and management of these difficult patients. The workers' compensation system can make it time-consuming to get approval for appropriate treatment, and multiple socioeconomic factors including gender, education level, work characteristics, legal action, and expectations about ability to work without surgery are associated with receiving workers' compensation. In addition, workers' compensation patients typically participate in physical jobs that could stress a repaired injury, and workers' compensation is associated with higher rates of patient noncompliance. Most workers' compensation patients perceive that they have worse symptoms and function compared to patients who are non-workers' compensation, and the evidence is clear that return to work takes longer than for non-workers' compensation patents. The positive message for hip arthroscopists is that we provide quality health care to workers' compensation patients, and we get them back to work, regardless of the patient's perception.
