Abstract
BACKGROUND MRI-based synthetic CT (sCT) generates CT-like images from MRI data. OBJECTIVE To evaluate equivalence, inter- and intraobserver reliability, and image quality of sCT compared to conventional (cCT) for assessing hip morphology and maturity in pediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients <21 years old with cCT and 3T MRI of the hips/pelvis. A dual-echo gradient-echo sequence was used to generate sCT via a commercially available post-processing software (BoneMRI v1.5 research version, MRIguidance BV, Utrecht, NL). Two pediatric musculoskeletal radiologists measured seven morphologic hip parameters. 3D surface distances between cCT and sCT were computed. Physeal status was established at seven locations with cCT as reference standard. Images were qualitatively scored on a 5-point Likert scale regarding diagnostic quality, signal-to-noise ratio, clarity of bony margin, corticomedullary differentiation, and presence and severity of artifacts. Quantitative evaluation of Hounsfield units (HU) was performed in bone, muscle, and fat tissue. Inter- and intraobserver reliability were measured by intraclass correlation coefficients. The cCT-to-sCT intermodal agreement was assessed via Bland-Altman analysis. The equivalence between modalities was tested using paired two one-sided tests. The quality parameter scores of each imaging modality were compared via Wilcoxon signed-rank test. For tissue-specific HU measurements, mean absolute error and mean percentage error values were calculated using the cCT as the reference standard. RESULTS Thirty-eight hips in 19 patients were included (16.6 ± 3 years, range 9.9-20.9; male = 5). cCT- and sCT-based morphologic measurements demonstrated good to excellent inter- and intraobserver correlation (0.77 CONCLUSION sCT is equivalent to cCT for the assessment of hip morphology, physeal status, and radiodensity assessment in pediatric patients.

Tschurl J, Shadi M, Kotwicki T. Hip Joint Stability during and after Femoral Lengthening in Congenital Femoral Deficiency. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:500. [PMID: 38671717 PMCID: PMC11049063 DOI: 10.3390/children11040500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip stability remains a major preoccupation during femoral lengthening in Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD). We aimed to review hip stability in Paley type 1a CFD patients undergoing femoral lengthening. METHODS A total of 33 patients with unilateral CFD, who were treated between 2014 and 2023, were retrospectively reviewed. In 20/33 cases (60.6%) the SUPERhip preparatory surgery was performed at a mean age of 4.3 years (range 2.7-8.1). The femoral lengthening using an external fixator was performed at a mean age of 7.8 years (range 4.3-14.3). RESULTS All patients presented with a stable hip joint after preparatory surgery and during femoral lengthening. Six cases of hip instability at a mean of 637 days after the external fixator removal were observed (range 127 to 1447 days). No significant differences between stable and unstable hips were noted for (1) Center-Edge Angle: 23.7 vs. 26.1 deg; (2) Acetabular Inclination: 12.8 vs. 11.7 deg; and (3) Ex-Fix Index: 35.6 days/cm vs. 42.4 days/cm; p > 0.05. Late hip instability was related to Coxa Vara and decreased femoral antetorsion before lengthening. CONCLUSIONS Late hip joint instability in Paley type 1a CFD patients may occur long after femoral lengthening despite hip morphology appearing to be normal on radiograms before and at the end of femoral lengthening. Coxa Vara, femoral torsional deformity, and posterior acetabular deficiency might be risk factors for hip instability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To show the femoral neck better in hip lateral view of X-ray, we design a modified hip lateral view and then investigate the value in femoral neck fractures. METHODS CT images of 10 normal hip joints for 3D reconstruction were selected, the Mimics Medical 21.0 was used, and rotating the proximal femur was to find the most suitable angle for showing the femoral neck well, designed the modified lateral view according to this angle. We collected 35 healthy cases and 35 femoral neck fractures as the normal and fracture group. And two groups were all taken hip anteroposterior view, cross-table lateral view and modified lateral view, which were analyzed by two radiologists to score the anatomical structures of the articular surface, femoral head, head neck junction, femoral neck, basal region and intertrochanteric region. Friedman test was used to analyze the score of femoral neck at different angles. T test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were to compare inter-groups. RESULTS The modified lateral view was designed as follows: The subjects were supine, with the sagittal axis biased toward the healthy side at an angle of approximately 20° to the long axis of the examination table, the hip joint flexed at 45°, the lower extremity abducted at 40°, the centerline inclined 45° toward the head and the centerline aligned with the center of the groin. The modified lateral view showed the femoral head, head neck junction and femoral neck more clearly than the cross-table lateral view, but the cross-table lateral view showed the femoral neck basal and intertrochanteric region better. In addition, the time of taking the modified lateral view was significantly less than the cross-table lateral view (normal group: 0.789 min ± 0.223 vs 0.623 min ± 0.207, P < 0.001; fracture group: 1.131 min ± 0.362 vs 0.946 min ± 0.390, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The modified lateral view can obtain a standard sagittal image of femoral neck, which can show the dislocation and angulation of the sagittal femoral neck fracture clearly, and improve the accuracy of diagnosis. And it is more convenient and easier for patients to cooperate, which is worthy promoting and applying in clinical work.

Patients With Generalized Joint Hypermobility Have Thinner Superior Hip Capsules and Greater Hip Internal Rotation on Physical Examination. Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2022; 4:e1417-e1427. [PMID: 36033199 PMCID: PMC9402452 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmr.2022.04.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To compare preoperative hip range of motion (ROM), hip capsular thickness on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bony morphology on radiographs and computed tomography (CT) between patients with and without joint hypermobility as measured by the Beighton Test score (BTS), with subanalysis based on sex and age. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for a diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome with or without dysplasia were retrospectively reviewed. Patient BTS, hip ROM, demographics, surgical data, morphologic measures on radiographs and CT, and MRI findings including hip capsule thickness at various locations were compiled. Multiple statistical tests were performed, including multivariable linear or logistic regression models, while controlling for BTS, age, and sex. Results In total, 99 patients were included with a mean age of 29 ± 9.9 years; 62 (62.6%), were female. Forty patients (40.4%) had a BTS ≥4. Female patients (P < .001) and younger patients (26.7 vs 30.9 years, P = .030) were more likely to have a BTS ≥4. Male patients had significantly thicker superior capsules (3.4 mm vs. 2.8 mm, P = .034). BTS was not associated with capsular thickness when controlling for sex. On CT, femoral version (18.9° vs 11.4°, P < .001), and McKibben index (37.8° vs. 28.2°, P < .001) were significantly greater in those with a BTS ≥4. Patients with a BTS ≥4 had more hip internal rotation at 90° of flexion (15.0° vs 10.0°, P < .001), when prone (30.0° vs 20.0°, P = .004), and in extension (10.0° vs. 5.0°, P < .001). Conclusions All female patients, regardless of Beighton score, and all patients with a BTS ≥4 indicated for primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome with or without dysplasia were more likely to have thinner superior hip capsules on MRI and greater hip internal rotation on exam. Bony morphologic differences exist between sexes and between patients with and without hypermobility, likely contributing to differences in ROM. Level of Evidence III, retrospective cohort study.

[PMID: 35678855 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-08895-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the degree to which conventional radiography can represent the acetabular and femoral rotational alignment profile between dysplastic and borderline-dysplastic hips. METHODS A retrospective trial was conducted including 56 borderline-dysplastic and dysplastic hips at a mean age of 28.9 years (range from 18 to 46). Inclusion criteria consisted of symptomatic patients with hip dysplasia undergoing 2-dimensional radiography as well as computed tomography. On radiography, the lateral center edge angle, acetabular hip index, hip lateralization index, acetabular index angle, and the Sharp angle were measured, and the presence of a crossover sign was noted. In computed tomography, the full rotational profile of the lower limb was measured. RESULTS Significant correlations were observed in the overall analysis between the anteversion of the acetabulum and the hip lateralization index (mean 0.56, coefficient of regression (CoR) -32.35, p = 0.011) as well as the acetabular index angle with a mean of 11.50 (CoR 0.544, p = 0.018). Similar results were found in the subgroup of dysplastic hips with an acetabular index angle of 13.9 (p = 0.013, CoR 0.74). For the borderline-dysplastic group, no significant correlations between the pelvis radiography and rotational CT were seen. CONCLUSION Although the femoral and acetabular torsion cannot be predicted from x-rays, the anteversion of the acetabulum correlates with the acetabular index angle, the hip lateralization index, and eventually the beta angle in dysplastic hips. For borderline-dysplastic hips, such results did not show up, which strongly illustrates the need for computed tomography in these cases. KEY POINTS • Much of the current literature focuses on rotational alignment especially with respect to the femur and tibia in healthy patients, although little is known about the acetabular, femoral, and tibial torsion in dysplastic hips. • This is the first study showing significant correlations between the anteversion of the acetabulum and the hip lateralization index as well as the acetabular inclination angle. Also, it is the first study to provide a mechanism for estimation of the torsion of the acetabulum with plain radiography in dysplastic hips. • In borderline-dysplastic hips, no significant correlation was found, which raises the question if a simple x-ray has enough validity to address the acetabular deformity with surgery.

Abstract
This study evaluated the accuracy of synthetic computed tomography (sCT), as compared to CT, for the 3D assessment of the hip morphology. Thirty male patients with asymptomatic hips, referred for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT, were included in this retrospective study. sCT images were generated from three-dimensional radiofrequency-spoiled T1-weighted multi-echo gradient-echo MR images using a commercially available deep learning-enabled software and were compared with CT images through mean error and surface distance computation and by means of eight clinical morphometric parameters relevant for hip care. Parameters included center-edge angle (CEA), sharp angle, acetabular index, extrusion index, femoral head center-to-midline distance, acetabular version (AV), and anterior and posterior acetabular sector angles. They were measured by two senior orthopedic surgeons and a radiologist in-training on CT and sCT images. The reliability and agreement of CT- and sCT-based measurements were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for absolute agreement, Bland-Altman plots, and two one-sided tests for equivalence. The surface distance between CT- and sCT-based bone models were on average submillimeter. CT- and sCT-based measurements showed moderate to excellent interobserver and intraobserver correlation (0.56 < ICC < 0.99). In particular, the inter/intraobserver agreements were good for AV (ICC > 0.75). For CEA, the intraobserver agreement was good (ICC > 0.75) and the interobserver agreement was moderate (ICC > 0.69). Limits of agreements were similar between intraobserver CT and intermodal measurements. All measurements were found statistically equivalent, with average intermodal differences within the intraobserver limits of agreement. In conclusion, sCT and CT were equivalent for the assessment of the hip joint bone morphology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Imaging assessment for the clinical management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is controversial because of a paucity of evidence-based guidance and notable variability among practitioners. Hence, expert consensus is needed because standardised imaging assessment is critical for clinical practice and research. We aimed to establish expert-based statements on FAI imaging by using formal methods of consensus building. METHODS The Delphi method was used to formally derive consensus among 30 panel members from 13 countries. Forty-four questions were agreed upon, and relevant seminal literature was circulated and classified in major topics to produce answering statements. The level of evidence was noted for all statements, and panel members were asked to score their level of agreement (0-10). This is the second part of a three-part consensus series and focuses on 'General issues' and 'Parameters and reporting'. RESULTS Forty-seven statements were generated and group consensus was reached for 45. Twenty-five statements pertaining to 'General issues' (9 addressing diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and postoperative imaging) and 'Parameters and reporting' (16 addressing femoral/acetabular parameters) were produced. CONCLUSIONS The available evidence was reviewed critically, recommended criteria for diagnostic imaging highlighted, and the roles/values of different imaging parameters assessed. Radiographic evaluation (AP pelvis and a Dunn 45° view) is the cornerstone of hip-imaging assessment and the minimum imaging study that should be performed when evaluating adult patients for FAI. In most cases, cross-sectional imaging is warranted because MRI is the 'gold standard' imaging modality for the comprehensive evaluation, differential diagnosis assessment, and FAI surgical planning. KEY POINTS • Diagnostic imaging for FAI is not standardised due to scarce evidence-based guidance on which imaging modalities and diagnostic criteria/parameters should be used. • Radiographic evaluation is the cornerstone of hip assessment and the minimum study that should be performed when assessing suspected FAI. Cross-sectional imaging is justified in most cases because MRI is the 'gold standard' modality for comprehensive FAI evaluation. • For acetabular morphology, coverage (Wiberg's angle and acetabular index) and version (crossover, posterior wall, and ischial spine signs) should be assessed routinely. On the femoral side, the head-neck junction morphology (α° and offset), neck morphology (NSA), and torsion should be assessed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Imaging assessment for the clinical management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome remains controversial because of a paucity of evidence-based guidance and notable variability in clinical practice, ultimately requiring expert consensus. The purpose of this agreement is to establish expert-based statements on FAI imaging, using formal techniques of consensus building. METHODS A validated Delphi method and peer-reviewed literature were used to formally derive consensus among 30 panel members (21 musculoskeletal radiologists and 9 orthopaedic surgeons) from 13 countries. Forty-four questions were agreed on, and recent relevant seminal literature was circulated and classified in five major topics ('General issues', 'Parameters and reporting', 'Radiographic assessment', 'MRI' and 'Ultrasound') in order to produce answering statements. The level of evidence was noted for all statements, and panel members were asked to score their level of agreement with each statement (0 to 10) during iterative rounds. Either 'consensus', 'agreement' or 'no agreement' was achieved. RESULTS Forty-seven statements were generated, and group consensus was reached for 45 (95.7%). Seventeen of these statements were selected as most important for dissemination in advance. There was no agreement for the two statements pertaining to 'Ultrasound'. CONCLUSION Radiographic evaluation is the cornerstone of hip evaluation. An anteroposterior pelvis radiograph and a Dunn 45° view are recommended for the initial assessment of FAI although MRI with a dedicated protocol is the gold standard imaging technique in this setting. The resulting consensus can serve as a tool to reduce variability in clinical practices and guide further research for the clinical management of FAI. KEY POINTS • FAI imaging literature is extensive although often of low level of evidence. • Radiographic evaluation with a reproducible technique is the cornerstone of hip imaging assessment. • MRI with a dedicated protocol is the gold standard imaging technique for FAI assessment.
