Heerey JJ, Souza RB, Link TM, Luitjens J, Gassert F, Kemp JL, Scholes MJ, Crossley KM. Defining hip osteoarthritis feature prevalence, severity, and change using the Scoring of Hip Osteoarthritis with MRI (SHOMRI). Skeletal Radiol 2024; 53:1599-1609. [PMID: 38459982 PMCID: PMC11194192 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-024-04628-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To define the reporting of Scoring Hip Osteoarthritis with MRI (SHOMRI) feature prevalence and severity, and to develop criteria to monitor feature change in longitudinal investigations. METHODS Twenty-five participants (50 hips) of the femoroacetabular impingement and hip osteoarthritis cohort study underwent baseline and 2-year follow-up 3 T hip MRIs. Eight hip OA features were assessed using the SHOMRI. All MRIs were read paired with knowledge of timepoint by two blinded musculoskeletal radiologists. We provide definitions to report SHOMRI feature prevalence, severity, and longitudinal change. RESULTS We report clear definitions for SHOMRI feature prevalence, severity, and change. When we applied the definitions to the studied cohort, we could detect the prevalence, severity, and change of hip OA features. For example, 88% of hips had labral tears (34% graded as severe tears) and 76% had cartilage defects (42% graded as full thickness). Over 70% of hips had feature change over 2 years, highlighting the sensitivity of SHOMRI definitions to assess longitudinal change of hip OA features. Intra-reader reliability was almost perfect (weighted (w)-kappa 0.86 to 1.00), with inter-reader reliability substantial to almost perfect (w-kappa 0.80 to 1.00). CONCLUSION This study is the first to provide definitions to report SHOMRI feature prevalence, severity, and change. The proposed definitions will enable comparison between hip MRI studies and improve our understanding of hip OA pathogenesis.

Skeletal Radiol 2024; 53:1303-1312. [PMID: 38225402 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-024-04563-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of morphologic and hypointense signal changes on MRI to predict grades and types of acetabular cartilage damage in the chondrolabral transitional zone (TZ) of the hip identified at arthroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective single-center study reviewed conventional 3T MRI hip studies from individuals with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and subsequent hip arthroscopy surgery within 6 months. Independent review was made by three radiologists for the presence of morphologic damage or a hypointense signal lesion in the TZ on MRI. Fleiss' kappa statistic was used to assess inter-reader agreement. The degree of TZ surfacing damage (modified Outerbridge grades 1-4) and presence of non-surfacing wave sign at arthroscopic surgery were collected. Relationship between sensitivity and lesion grade was examined. RESULTS One hundred thirty-six MRI hip studies from 40 males and 74 females were included (mean age 28.5 years, age range 13-54 years). MRI morphologic lesions had a sensitivity of 64.9-71.6% and specificity of 48.4-67.7% for arthroscopic surfacing lesions, with greater sensitivity seen for higher grade lesions. Low sensitivity was seen for wave sign lesions (34.5-51.7%). MRI hypointense signal lesions had a sensitivity of 26.3-62% and specificity of 43.8-78.0% for any lesion. Inter-reader agreement was moderate for morphologic lesions (k = 0.601) and poor for hypointense signal lesions (k = 0.097). CONCLUSION Morphologic cartilage damage in the TZ on MRI had moderate sensitivity for any cartilage lesion, better sensitivity for higher grade lesions, and poor sensitivity for wave sign lesions. The diagnostic value of hypointense signal lesions was uncertain.

Utilization trends for MR arthrography of the hip and shoulder: a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 20-year data from a tertiary care academic medical center. Skeletal Radiol 2024:10.1007/s00256-024-04717-0. [PMID: 38829525 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-024-04717-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to analyze changes in the utilization of MRA of the hip and shoulder at a large tertiary care academic medical center during a period of significant technological advancements over the last 20 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional analysis identified MRA of the hip and shoulder performed at our institution over a 20-year period (2/2003-2/2023) in relation to the total number of MR hip and shoulder examinations during the same period. Patient characteristics and referring provider demographic information were extracted. Descriptive statistics and trend analysis were performed. RESULTS The total number of MRIs of the hip and shoulder increased overall, with small dips in 2020 and 2022. MRA of the hip increased significantly over the first 10 years of the study period (p = 0.0005), while MRA of the shoulder did not change significantly (p = 0.33). The proportion of both MRA of the hip and shoulder declined over the last 10 years (hip, p = 0.0056; shoulder, p = 0.0017). Over the same period, there was significant increase in the proportion of examinations performed at 3 Tesla versus 1.5 (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Overall, there was a downward trend in MR shoulder and hip arthrogram utilization in the second half of this 20-year study period. However, utilization varied somewhat by referring specialties and credentials. These changes are likely reflective of both improvements in image quality and evolving practice recommendations. Awareness of such trends may be valuable in ensuring appropriate patient care, as well as for anticipating the needs of a musculoskeletal radiology practice.

[PMID: 38801542 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-024-04709-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Direct MR arthrography (dMRA) is a fundamental technique in diagnosing pathology in major peripheral joints, allowing for precise evaluation of intra-articular structures. Although injection guidance is typically performed using imaging techniques such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, puncture via anatomical landmarks may be useful in certain circumstances where it has been proven to be a safe and effective procedure. This paper describes the indications and injection technique of dMRA, joint by joint, focusing on the different technical details, from the most common locations, like the shoulder or hip, to those with more restricted clinical indications, such as the wrist, knee, elbow, or ankle. The most relevant anatomical landmarks are detailed for each joint, aiding in the intra-articular introduction of diluted contrast, highlighting the most accessible trajectories and structures to avoid when inserting the needle. Additionally, tips are provided to facilitate proper joint distension. With all this information, this paper aims to serve as a suitable reference guide for performing dMRA without image guidance if needed.

Impact of gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent and local anesthetics co-administration on chondrogenic gadolinium uptake and cytotoxicity. Heliyon 2024; 10:e29719. [PMID: 38681575 PMCID: PMC11053198 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
The gadolinium-based contrast agent DOTA-Gd is clinically used in combination with local anesthetics for direct magnetic resonance arthrography. It remains unclear whether gadolinium uptake into cartilage is influenced by co-administration of bupivacaine or ropivacaine and whether DOTA-Gd alters their chondrotoxicity. Gadolinium quantification of chondrogenic spheroids revealed enhanced gadolinium uptake after simultaneous exposure to local anesthetics. Analyses of the spatial gadolinium distribution using synchrotron X-ray-fluorescence scanning indicates gadolinium exposed chondrocytes. In vitro exposure to DOTA-Gd does not alter viability and proliferation of human chondrocytes and the chondrotoxic potential of the anesthetics. Reduced viability induced by ropivacaine was found to be reversible, while exposure to bupivacaine leads to irreversible cell death. Our data suggest that ropivacaine is more tolerable than bupivacaine and that DOTA-Gd exposure does not alter the cytotoxicity of both anesthetics. Enhanced gadolinium uptake into cartilage due to co-administration of anesthetics should find attention.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to describe the anterior injection approach, with anatomical landmark guidance, for direct MR arthrography (dMRA) of the hip joint, and to evaluate the effectiveness in joint distension and the security of the technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective review of hip dMRAs was conducted on patients with suspected intra-articular pathology from two MR outpatient centers, performed by two radiologists with 25 and 5 years of experience, respectively. The analysis included assessing the presence of intra-articular contrast material (gadolinium-based solution), the number of injections performed, the degree of joint distension, and the degree of contrast extravasation. A multi-variant analysis was carried out to determine if the procedure success depend on any of the demographic variants or on the radiologist experience. Additionally, the presence of immediate and medium-term post-puncture complications was evaluated. RESULTS One hundred patients with 104 hip dMRA were included; 60 were men, with mean age of 38 years (16-63 years). Contrast material was successfully introduced intra-articularly in 100% of patients, being necessary a second puncture only in 6% of procedures. The capsular distension was considered optimal for diagnosis in 97% of cases. Different degrees of contrast extravasation were found in 30% of dMRA. There was no statistically significant relationship observed between patient variables and the performance of dMRA, nor did it show any correlation with the experience of the radiologists. No puncture-derived complications were found. CONCLUSION Hip dMRA through anterior injection guided by anatomical references is an effective and safe alternative for patients with suspected intra-articular pathology.

SSR white paper: guidelines for utilization and performance of direct MR arthrography. Skeletal Radiol 2024; 53:209-244. [PMID: 37566148 PMCID: PMC10730654 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-023-04420-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Direct magnetic resonance arthrography (dMRA) is often considered the most accurate imaging modality for the evaluation of intra-articular structures, but utilization and performance vary widely without consensus. The purpose of this white paper is to develop consensus recommendations on behalf of the Society of Skeletal Radiology (SSR) based on published literature and expert opinion. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Standards and Guidelines Committee of the SSR identified guidelines for utilization and performance of dMRA as an important topic for study and invited all SSR members with expertise and interest to volunteer for the white paper panel. This panel was tasked with determining an outline, reviewing the relevant literature, preparing a written document summarizing the issues and controversies, and providing recommendations. RESULTS Twelve SSR members with expertise in dMRA formed the ad hoc white paper authorship committee. The published literature on dMRA was reviewed and summarized, focusing on clinical indications, technical considerations, safety, imaging protocols, complications, controversies, and gaps in knowledge. Recommendations for the utilization and performance of dMRA in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle/foot regions were developed in group consensus. CONCLUSION Although direct MR arthrography has been previously used for a wide variety of clinical indications, the authorship panel recommends more selective application of this minimally invasive procedure. At present, direct MR arthrography remains an important procedure in the armamentarium of the musculoskeletal radiologist and is especially valuable when conventional MRI is indeterminant or results are discrepant with clinical evaluation.

A Multi-Disciplinary MRI Assessment May Optimize the Evaluation of Chondral Lesions in Acute Ankle Fractures: A Prospective Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:3220. [PMID: 37892043 PMCID: PMC10605548 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13203220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Chondral lesions (CL) in the ankle following acute fractures are frequently overlooked immediately after the injury or diagnosed at a later stage, leading to persistent symptoms despite successful surgery. The literature presents a wide range of discrepancies in the reported incidence of CLs in acute ankle fractures. The objective of this prospective study is to provide a precise assessment of the occurrence of chondral lesions (CLs) in acute ankle fractures through MRI scans conducted immediately after the trauma and prior to scheduled surgery. Furthermore, the study aims to highlight the disparities in the interpretation of these MRI scans, particularly concerning the size and extent of chondral damage, between radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. Over the period of three years, all patients presenting with an unstable ankle fracture that underwent operative treatment were consecutively included in this single-center prospective study. Preoperative MRIs were obtained for all included patients within 10 days of the trauma and were evaluated by a trauma surgeon and a radiologist specialized in musculoskeletal MRI blinded to each other's results. The location of the lesions was documented, as well as their size and ICRS classification. Correlations and kappa coefficients as well as the p-values were calculated. A total of 65 patients were included, with a mean age of 41 years. The evaluation of the orthopedic surgeon showed CLs in 52.3% of patients. CLs occurred mainly on the tibial articular surface (70.6%). Most talar lesions were located laterally (11.2%). The observed CLs were mainly ICRS grade 4. According to the radiologist, 69.2% of the patients presented with CLs. The most common location was the talar dome (48.9%), especially laterally. Most detected CLs were graded ICRS 3a. The correlation between the two observers was weak/fair regarding the detection and classification of CLs and moderate regarding the size of the detected CLs. To enhance the planning of surgical treatment for ankle chondral lesions (CLs), it may be beneficial to conduct an interdisciplinary preoperative assessment of the performed scans. This collaborative approach can optimize the evaluation of ankle CLs and improve overall treatment strategies.

A pilot study with arthroscopic comparison. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:6369-6380. [PMID: 37042981 PMCID: PMC10415454 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09586-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare image quality and diagnostic performance of preoperative direct hip magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) performed with gadolinium contrast agent and saline solution. METHODS IRB-approved retrospective study of 140 age and sex-matched symptomatic patients with femoroacetabular impingement, who either underwent intra-articular injection of 15-20 mL gadopentetate dimeglumine (GBCA), 2.0 mmol/L ("GBCA-MRA" group, n = 70), or 0.9% saline solution ("Saline-MRA" group, n = 70) for preoperative hip MRA and subsequent hip arthroscopy. 1.5 T hip MRA was performed including leg traction. Two readers assessed image quality using a 5-point Likert scale (1-5, excellent-poor), labrum and femoroacetabular cartilage lesions. Arthroscopic diagnosis was used to calculate diagnostic accuracy which was compared between groups with Fisher's exact tests. Image quality was compared with the Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS Mean age was 33 years ± 9, 21% female patients. Image quality was excellent (GBCA-MRA mean range, 1.1-1.3 vs 1.1-1.2 points for Saline-MRA) and not different between groups (all p > 0.05) except for image contrast which was lower for Saline-MRA group (GBCA-MRA 1.1 ± 0.4 vs Saline-MRA 1.8 ± 0.5; p < 0.001). Accuracy was high for both groups for reader 1/reader 2 for labrum (GBCA-MRA 94%/ 96% versus Saline-MRA 96%/93%; p > 0.999/p = 0.904) and acetabular (GBCA-MRA 86%/ 83% versus Saline-MRA 89%/87%; p = 0.902/p = 0.901) and femoral cartilage lesions (GBCA-MRA 97%/ 99% versus Saline-MRA 97%/97%; both p > 0.999). CONCLUSION Diagnostic accuracy and image quality of Saline-MRA and GBCA-MRA is high in assessing chondrolabral lesions underlining the potential role of non-gadolinium-based hip MRA. KEY POINTS • Image quality of Saline-MRA and GBCA-MRA was excellent for labrum, acetabular and femoral cartilage, ligamentum teres, and the capsule (all p > 0.18). • The overall image contrast was lower for Saline-MRA (Saline-MRA 1.8 ± 0.5 vs. GBCA-MRA 1.1 ± 0.4; p < 0.001). • Diagnostic accuracy was high for Saline-MRA and GBCA-MRA for labrum (96% vs. 94%; p > 0.999), acetabular cartilage damage (89% vs. 86%; p = 0.902), femoral cartilage damage (97% vs. 97%; p > 0.999), and extensive cartilage damage (97% vs. 93%; p = 0.904).

Abstract
Chronic hip pain is a frequent chief complaint for adult patients who present for evaluation in a variety of clinical practice settings. Following a targeted history and physical examination, imaging plays a vital role in elucidating the etiologies of a patient's symptoms, as a wide spectrum of pathological entities may cause chronic hip pain. Radiography is usually the appropriate initial imaging test following a clinical examination. Depending on the clinical picture, advanced cross-sectional imaging may be subsequently performed for further evaluation. This documents provides best practice for the imaging workup of chronic hip pain in patients presenting with a variety of clinical scenarios. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.

[PMID: 37492381 PMCID: PMC10365279 DOI: 10.3389/fradi.2023.1151258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
Introduction Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) is a hip pathology characterized by impingement of the femoral head-neck junction against the acetabular rim, due to abnormalities in bone morphology. FAI is normally diagnosed by manual evaluation of morphologic features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, we assess, for the first time, the feasibility of using radiomics to detect FAI by automatically extracting quantitative features from images. Material and methods 17 patients diagnosed with monolateral FAI underwent pre-surgical MR imaging, including a 3D Dixon sequence of the pelvis. An expert radiologist drew regions of interest on the water-only Dixon images outlining femur and acetabulum in both impingement (IJ) and healthy joints (HJ). 182 radiomic features were extracted for each hip. The dataset numerosity was increased by 60 times with an ad-hoc data augmentation tool. Features were subdivided by type and region in 24 subsets. For each, a univariate ANOVA F-value analysis was applied to find the 5 features most correlated with IJ based on p-value, for a total of 48 subsets. For each subset, a K-nearest neighbor model was trained to differentiate between IJ and HJ using the values of the radiomic features in the subset as input. The training was repeated 100 times, randomly subdividing the data with 75%/25% training/testing. Results The texture-based gray level features yielded the highest prediction max accuracy (0.972) with the smallest subset of features. This suggests that the gray image values are more homogeneously distributed in the HJ in comparison to IJ, which could be due to stress-related inflammation resulting from impingement. Conclusions We showed that radiomics can automatically distinguish IJ from HJ using water-only Dixon MRI. To our knowledge, this is the first application of radiomics for FAI diagnosis. We reported an accuracy greater than 97%, which is higher than the 90% accuracy for detecting FAI reported for standard diagnostic tests (90%). Our proposed radiomic analysis could be combined with methods for automated joint segmentation to rapidly identify patients with FAI, avoiding time-consuming radiological measurements of bone morphology.

Abstract
Background There is limited research investigating the diagnostic strength of 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) and multidirectional CT arthrography (CTA) for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and related hip lesions. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic strength of combined 3D-CT and CTA in patients with FAI and related hip lesions by comparing it with hip arthroscopic surgery findings. Study Design Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods This study included patients who were suspected of having FAI and related hip lesions and who underwent a combination of 3D-CT and CTA and subsequent hip arthroscopic surgery between December 2013 and December 2017. The CT and intraoperative arthroscopic findings were recorded and compared. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 3D-CT for FAI and those of CTA for related hip lesions were calculated. Results A total of 114 patients with 114 hips were included in our study. There were 101 patients with positive findings and 13 patients with negative findings for FAI (including cam, pincer, and combined morphology) according to 3D-CT. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 3D-CT for FAI were 91.58%, 57.14%, and 89.47%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CTA for labral tears were 94.64%, 100.00%, and 94.73%, respectively. For acetabular cartilage defects, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CTA were 60.71%, 91.37%, and 76.31%, respectively. For femoral cartilage defects, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CTA were 82.22%, 76.81%, and 78.94%, respectively. Conclusion The study results indicated that 3D-CT was able to provide excellent accuracy for FAI compared with hip arthroscopic surgery findings. In addition, multidirectional CTA demonstrated promising diagnostic strength for hip lesions such as labral tears and chondral defects.

[PMID: 36150666 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbspin.2022.105465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Revised: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Hip labral tears are found in 22-55% of individuals with hip pain, but labral tears without cysts are usually not responsible for hip pain, which originates mostly from other structures than the torn labrum, like osteochondral, but also tendinous injuries (rectus femoris, gluteus minimus, iliopsoas) or capsulo-ligamentous tears (iliofemoral ligaments, ligament teres). Those lesions are mainly the consequences of underlying unrecognized functional acetabular dysplasia, and/or femoroacetabular impingements. Although the early repair of labral tears in young sportsmen induces a marked and lasting relief, and might delay the onset of osteoarthritis, the microinstability fostered by labral damages seems less important than underlying dysplasias/impingements. This narrative review details recent findings on: (i) the various mechanisms of pain associated with labral tears; (ii) few evidence for hip microinstability induced by isolated labral tears; (iii) how to best detect labral tears, both clinically (including through IROP test) and on imaging (MRI, MRA, computed tomography arthrography, ultrasound). Some authors suggested to use pull-out tests during surgery, but pulling of hips do not seem to increase much diagnostic performances of ultrasounds. Ultrasound-guided intra-articular and peri-articular injections may tell how often hip pain is exclusively induced by peri-capsular injuries secondary to the acetabular dysplasia/femoro-acetabular impingements already responsible for labral tears. Further works could tell whether labral repair, tendinous debridement, plication of capsule, and/or focal denervation, may induce lasting reliefs of pain induced by the chronic contraction of surrounding muscles (rectus femoris, gluteus minimus, psoas), whose deep aponeuroses mix with the superficial fibres of the thick hip capsule.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To synthesize available evidence about diagnostic accuracy of clinical tests and imaging examinations for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. DESIGN Umbrella review. SETTING N/A. PARTICIPANTS N/A. INTERVENTIONS N/A. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Systematic reviews (SR) indexed in Embase, LIVIVO, PubMed, SCOPUS, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched in a 2-phase process. SR assessing diagnostic accuracy were considered eligible. RESULTS From 1520 studies, 6 SR were included, which evaluated 24 primary studies related to FAI syndrome. Of these, 5 SR assessed clinical tests, and a substantial heterogeneity was found concerning reference standards adopted across primary studies, which included arthroscopy, clinical examination (associated or not with imaging exams), intra-articular injections, and open surgery. Most clinical tests presented higher values of sensitivity compared with specificity, although evidence was considered limited because the same primary studies were often included across SR. Nonetheless, evidence around the flexion adduction internal rotation (FADIR) test was considered stronger and its use as a screening tool was consistently supported. Only one SR assessed the accuracy of imaging examinations, which adopted open surgery as the sole reference standard. Most imaging exams presented considerably high values of sensitivity, although specificity values were notably lower. CONCLUSIONS No robust recommendations can be provided for most clinical tests, although the FADIR test, in particular, was consistently supported as a screening tool. Moreover, although imaging examinations showed considerably high sensitivity values, evidence was considered sparse and further research is strongly recommended to validate its use as reference standards for diagnostic accuracy data.

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 Currently, there is no consensus regarding the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of acetabular chondral delamination (ACD) in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and, correspondingly, the preoperative diagnosis of ACD remains challenging. Hypothesis It was hypothesized that MRI would have relatively high accuracy in detecting ACD in patients with FAI. Study Design Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods We retrospectively evaluated patients who attended the sports medicine clinic of our department and underwent arthroscopic surgery for the diagnosis of FAI between January 2018 and December 2020. All patients underwent preoperative 3.0-T MRI. ACD was evaluated by 2 raters on 3.0-T MRI scans, and interrater and intrarater reliability was assessed. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of MRI for diagnosis of ACD were calculated, using arthroscopic surgery as the standard. Results A total of 233 patients (mean age, 37.4 years; 99 male and 134 female) were included in this study. The presence of ACD in 101 (43.3%) patients was confirmed during hip arthroscopy. The intraobserver reliability of both of the observers in detecting ACD using 3.0-T MRI scans was almost perfect (observer 1, kappa coefficient [κ] = 0.909 [95% CI, 0.854-0.964]; observer 2, κ = 0.937 [95% CI, 0.890-0.984]), and the interobserver reliability between the observers (κ = 0.801 [95% CI, 0.723-0.879]) was substantial. The overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of preoperative MRI to detect ACD were 83.7%, 82%, 74.2%, and 89.1%, respectively. Conclusion It was found that 3.0-T MRI had a relatively high sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for diagnosis of ACD in patients with FAI and could be a reliable method of diagnosing ACD preoperatively.

Abstract
There has been a marked increase in the number of hip arthroscopies performed over the past 16 years, primarily in the management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Insights into the pathoanatomy of FAI, and high-level evidence supporting the clinical effectiveness of arthroscopy in the management of FAI, have fuelled this trend. Arthroscopic management of labral tears with repair may have superior results compared with debridement, and there is now emerging evidence to support reconstructive options where repair is not possible. In situations where an interportal capsulotomy is performed to facilitate access, data now support closure of the capsule in selective cases where there is an increased risk of postoperative instability. Preoperative planning is an integral component of bony corrective surgery in FAI, and this has evolved to include computer-planned resection. However, the benefit of this remains controversial. Hip instability is now widely accepted, and diagnostic criteria and treatment are becoming increasingly refined. Instability can also be present with FAI or develop as a result of FAI treatment. In this annotation, we outline major current controversies relating to decision-making in hip arthroscopy for FAI. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2022;104-B(5):532-540.

J Orthop Surg Res 2022; 17:126. [PMID: 35232459 PMCID: PMC8886969 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-022-02981-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the diagnostic performance of MRI/MRA for detecting acetabular labral tears (ALT). Methods We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library until February 5, 2021, to identify original research studies reporting the diagnostic performance of MRI/MRA for the detection of ALT. Study methodological quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tool. The summary sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the studies were estimated using a bivariate model. We calculated the post-test probability to assess the clinical utility of MRI/MRA. Univariate meta-regression and subgroup analyses were performed to assess between-study heterogeneity. Results We included 22 studies (n = 1670 patients). The meta-analytic summary Se and Sp for MRI were 0.8 (95% CI 0.51–0.94) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.68–0.84), respectively, while for MRA they were 0.89 (95% CI 0.82–0.93) and 0.69 (95% CI 0.56–0.80). MRA showed a higher area under the summary receiver operating curve (SROC) (0.87 vs. 0.80) than MRI. MRI could increase the post-test probability to 0.78 and could decrease the post-test probability to 0.21, MRA could increase the post-test probability to 0.74 and could decrease the post-test probability to 0.14. Meta-regression analysis showed two significant factors affecting study heterogeneity: MR field strength and reference standard. After dividing the studies into two subgroups based on the MR field strength, we found that the Se values of 3.0 T MRI were very close to MRA (0.87 vs. 0.89), the Sp values of 3.0 T MRI were superior to MRA (0.77 vs. 0.69). Conclusions Given that 3.0 T MRI could provide a non-invasive, fast and convenient method to recognize suspicious ALT cases, 3.0 T MRI is more recommended than MRA.

Femoro-Epiphyseal Acetabular Roof (FEAR) Index and Anterior Acetabular Coverage Correlate With Labral Length in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip. Arthroscopy 2022; 38:374-381. [PMID: 33964382 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2021.04.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between labral length and radiographic parameters of lateral and anterior acetabular coverage and the femoro-epiphyseal acetabular roof (FEAR) index in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from patients with DDH who visited our hip joint clinic for the first time due to hip symptoms. DDH presence was defined as a lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) of ≤25°. The labral lengths on the anterior and lateral sides were measured on central axial and central coronal slices of T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficients (r) and simple linear regression analyses were performed to determine the association of the lateral and anterior labral lengths with the radiographic parameters, including the LCEA, acetabular roof obliquity, FEAR index, anterior wall index, and vertical center anterior angle. RESULTS This study included 88 patients, with a mean age of 39.6 ± 11.8 years. There were 65 women and 23 men. The lateral and anterior labral lengths correlated with all parameters of dysplasia. Specifically, the lateral labral length had a strong positive correlation with the FEAR index (R = 0.65, P < .001). The anterior labral length had a strong negative correlation with the anterior wall index (R = -0.66, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The lateral labral length had a strong positive correlation with the FEAR index. Furthermore, the anterior labral length had a correlation with the anterior dysplasia. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective cross-sectional study.

Cam morphology is associated with MRI-defined cartilage defects and labral tears: a case-control study of 237 young adult football players with and without hip and groin pain. BMJ Open Sport Exerc Med 2022; 7:e001199. [PMID: 34987861 PMCID: PMC8679114 DOI: 10.1136/bmjsem-2021-001199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
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
AIMS To compare the diagnostic accuracy of investigators from different specialities (radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons) with varying levels of experience of 1.5 T direct magnetic resonance arthrography (dMRA) against intraoperative findings in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). METHODS A total of 272 patients were evaluated with dMRA and subsequent hip arthroscopy. The dMRA images were evaluated independently by two non-hip-arthroscopy-trained orthopaedic surgeons, two fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists, and two hip-arthroscopy-trained orthopaedic surgeons. The radiological diagnoses were compared with the intraoperative findings. RESULTS Hip arthroscopy revealed labral pathologies in 218 (79%) and acetabular chondral lesions in 190 (69%) hips. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy for evaluating the acetabular labral pathologies were 79%, 18%, 79%, 18%, and 66% (non-hip-arthroscopy trained orthopaedic surgeons), 83%, 36%, 83%, 36%, and 74% (fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists), and 88%, 53%, 88%, 54% and 81% (hip-arthroscopy trained orthopaedic surgeons). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of dMRA for assessing the acetabular chondral damage were 81%, 36%, 71%, 50%, and 66% (non-hip-arthroscopy trained orthopaedic surgeons), 84%, 38%, 75%, 52%, and 70% (fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists), and 91%, 51%, 81%, 73%, and 79% (hip-arthroscopy trained orthopaedic surgeons). The hip-arthroscopy trained orthopaedic surgeons displayed the highest percentage of correctly diagnosed labral pathologies and acetabular chondral lesions, which is significantly higher than the other two investigator groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The accuracy of dMRA on detecting labral pathologies or acetabular chondral lesions depends on the examiner and its level of experience in hip arthroscopy. The highest values are found for the hip-arthroscopy-trained orthopaedic surgeons. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective cohort study; III.

Abstract
The acetabular labrum is an important structure that contributes to hip joint stability and function. Diagnosing labral tears involves a comprehensive assessment of clinical symptoms, physical examinations, imaging examinations, and arthroscopic confirmation. As arthroscopy is an invasive surgery, adjuvant imaging of the acetabular labrum is increasingly imperative for orthopedists to diagnose and assess labral lesions prior to hip arthroscopy for surgical management. This article reviews the current imaging strategies for the evaluation of labrum lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to retrospectively assess the frequency and characteristics of acetabular cartilage delamination (CD) in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) patients and to assess the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), and positive predictive value (PPV) of magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) in detecting CD based on the radiologist report. DESIGN This is a single-center retrospective review of consecutive patients operated for symptomatic FAI. All of the patients had a 1.5-T MR-arthrogram within 12 months preoperatively. MRA reports of these patients were compared with operation notes and surgical videos of all patients by two trained assessors. RESULTS At surgery, CD of the acetabulum was present in 169 patients out of a total of 229 patients (74%). Only 6.5% (11 patients) of CD was described on the MRA reports preoperatively. The mean age of the patients was 37.6 ± 13.3 years. The average extent of delamination was 3.12 ± 1.5 cm2 with a mean coronal × sagittal extent of 0.68 × 4.33 cm. There was a significant difference regarding age (P = 0.002), alpha angle from frog view (P = 0.002), and alpha angle from anteroposterior view (P = 0.012) between the patients with delamination and without delamination. The majority of labral tears and cartilage damage were located in the anterosuperior quadrant. MRA sensitivity was 6%, specificity 98%, NPV 27%, and PPV 91% based on the radiologist report. CONCLUSION The CD in patients with FAI can be severely underdiagnosed with MRA. There is a need for better standard diagnostic criteria to detect CD in patients with FAI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare early hip osteoarthritis (OA) features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in high-impact athletes with and without hip and/or groin pain, and to evaluate associations between early hip OA features, the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT33) and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS). DESIGN This case-control study evaluated data of the femoroacetabular impingement and hip osteoarthritis cohort (FORCe). One hundred and eighty-two symptomatic (hip and/or groin pain >6 months and positive flexion-adduction-internal-rotation (FADIR) test) and 55 pain-free high-impact athletes (soccer or Australian football (AF)) without definite radiographic hip OA underwent hip MRI. The Scoring Hip Osteoarthritis with MRI (SHOMRI) method quantified and graded the severity of OA features. Each participant completed the iHOT33 and HAGOS. RESULTS Hip and/or groin pain was associated with higher total SHOMRI (0-96) (mean difference 1.4, 95% CI: 0.7-2.2), labral score (adjusted incidence rate ratio (aIRR) 1.33, 95% CI: 1.1-1.6). Differences in prevalence of cartilage defects, labral tears and paralabral cysts between symptomatic and pain-free participants were inconclusive. There was a lower prevalence of effusion-synovitis in symptomatic participants when compared to pain-free participants (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.46 (95% CI: 0.3-0.8). Early hip OA features were not associated with iHOT33 or HAGOS. CONCLUSIONS A complex and poorly understood relationship exists between hip and/or groin pain and early hip OA features present on MRI in high-impact athletes without radiographic OA. Hip and/or groin pain was associated with higher SHOMRI and labral scores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Imaging plays a critical role in the assessment of patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). With better understanding of the underlying pathomechanics and advances in joint-preserving surgery, there is an increasing need to define the most appropriate imaging workup. The purpose of this article is to provide guidance on best practices for imaging of patients with FAI in light of recent advances in corrective FAI surgery. CONCLUSION. Pelvic radiography with dedicated hip projections is the basis of the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected FAI to assess arthritic changes and acetabular coverage and to screen for cam deformities. Chondrolabral lesions should be evaluated with unenhanced MRI or MR arthrography. The protocol should include a large-FOV fluid-sensitive sequence to exclude conditions that can mimic or coexist with FAI, radial imaging to accurately determine the presence of a cam deformity, and imaging of the distal femoral condyles for measurement of femoral torsion. CT remains a valuable tool for planning of complex surgical corrections. Advanced imaging, such as 3D simulation, biochemical MRI, and MR arthrography with application of leg traction, has great potential to improve surgical decision-making. Further research is needed to assess the added clinical value of these techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Imaging diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) remains controversial due to a lack of high-level evidence, leading to significant variability in patient management. Optimizing protocols and technical details is essential in FAI imaging, although challenging in clinical practice. The purpose of this agreement is to establish expert-based statements on FAI imaging, using formal consensus techniques driven by relevant literature review. Recommendations on the selection and use of imaging techniques for FAI assessment, as well as guidance on relevant radiographic and MRI classifications, are provided. METHODS The Delphi method was used to assess agreement and derive consensus among 30 panel members (musculoskeletal radiologists and orthopedic surgeons). Forty-four questions were agreed on and classified into five major topics and recent relevant literature was circulated, in order to produce answering statements. The level of evidence was assessed for all statements and panel members scored their level of agreement with each statement during 4 Delphi rounds. Either "group consensus," "group agreement," or "no agreement" was achieved. RESULTS Forty-seven statements were generated and group consensus was reached for 45. Twenty-two statements pertaining to "Imaging techniques" were generated. Eight statements on "Radiographic assessment" and 12 statements on "MRI evaluation" gained consensus. No agreement was reached for the 2 "Ultrasound" related statements. CONCLUSION The first international consensus on FAI imaging was developed. Researchers and clinicians working with FAI and hip-related pain may use these recommendations to guide, develop, and implement comprehensive, evidence-based imaging protocols and classifications. KEY POINTS • Radiographic evaluation is recommended for the initial assessment of FAI, while MRI with a dedicated protocol is the gold standard imaging technique for the comprehensive evaluation of this condition. • The MRI protocol for FAI evaluation should include unilateral small FOV with radial imaging, femoral torsion assessment, and a fluid sensitive sequence covering the whole pelvis. • The definite role of other imaging methods in FAI, such as ultrasound or CT, is still not well defined.

Abstract
The clinical diagnosis of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) continues to evolve as the understanding of normal and pathological hips progresses. Femoral acetabular impingement is currently defined as a syndrome in which the diagnosis consists of the combination of a previously-obtained comprehensive clinical history, followed by a consistent and standardized physical examination with specific orthopedic maneuvers. Additionally, radiographic and tomographic examinations are used for the morphological evaluation of the hip, and to ascertain the existence of sequelae of childhood hip diseases and the presence of osteoarthritis. The understanding of the femoral and acetabular morphologies and versions associated with images of labral and osteochondral lesions obtained through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contributes to the confirmation of this syndrome in symptomatic patients, and helps in the exclusion of differential diagnoses such as iliopsoas tendon snaps, subspine impingement, ischiofemoral impingement, and other hip joint pathologies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is one of the main causes of hip pain in young adults and poses clinical challenges which have placed it at the forefront of imaging and orthopedics. Diagnostic hip imaging has dramatically changed in the past years, with the arrival of new imaging techniques and the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This article reviews the current state-of-the-art clinical routine of individuals with suspected FAI, limitations, and future directions that show promise in the field of musculoskeletal research and are likely to reshape hip imaging in the coming years. RECENT FINDINGS The largely unknown natural disease course, especially in hips with FAI syndrome and those with asymptomatic abnormal morphologies, continues to be a problem as far as diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis are concerned. There has been a paradigm shift in recent years from bone and soft tissue morphological analysis towards the tentative development of quantitative approaches, biochemical cartilage evaluation, dynamic assessment techniques and, finally, integration of artificial intelligence (AI)/deep learning systems. Imaging, AI, and hip preserving care will continue to evolve with new problems and greater challenges. The increasing number of analytic parameters describing the hip joint, as well as new sophisticated MRI and imaging analysis, have carried practitioners beyond simplistic classifications. Reliable evidence-based guidelines, beyond differentiation into pure instability or impingement, are paramount to refine the diagnostic algorithm and define treatment indications and prognosis. Nevertheless, the boundaries of morphological, functional, and AI-aided hip assessment are gradually being pushed to new frontiers as the role of musculoskeletal imaging is rapidly evolving.

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.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular Impingement is an established cause of labral tears and chondral delamination. The aim was to test the validity of direct magnetic resonance arthrogram [dMRA] in the diagnosis of the same. We also looked at the short term functional outcome in these patients post hip arthroscopy. The dMRA is valuable in diagnosing labral tears nevertheless poor in detecting cartilage delamination. Hip arthroscopic intervention provided a good short-term functional outcome; however, should be offered with caution in patients over 40 years. To our knowledge, this is the single largest series published with similar methodology.

Prediction of intra-articular pathology and arthroscopic outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement and labral tear based on the response to preoperative anaesthetic hip joint injections. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2020; 30:737-742. [PMID: 31960159 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-020-02627-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2019] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether the preoperative response to intra-articular injections is associated with intra-articular pathological findings and arthroscopy outcomes. METHODS This study included 49 patients who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement and labral tear after receiving preoperative hip joint injections. The response to anaesthetic injections was categorized as poor (0-50%) or good (51-100%). With respect to anatomical indices, we evaluated the lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA), acetabular roof obliquity (ARO), vertical-centre-anterior angle (VCA), and the alpha angle (on a lateral view). We evaluated the association between these indices (including the types of hip labral tears and cartilage damage) and the effectiveness of intra-articular injections. RESULTS The study included 22 men and 27 women, and the mean age of patients was 36.4 years. No statistically significant association was observed between the response to preoperative anaesthetic hip joint injections and patient demographics (age, sex) and anatomical indices (LCEA, ARO, VCA, and alpha angle) (p > 0.05). All patients showed labral damage; however, labral tear classification or cartilage damage was not significantly associated with the effectiveness of joint injections. At the 1-year post-operative follow-up, patients with a good response to anaesthetic hip joint injections showed a significantly better outcome than patients with a poor response to these injections (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The response to preoperative anaesthetic hip joint injections may indicate the presence of intra-articular pathology. Furthermore, this association may have predictive value in determining post-operative outcomes following hip arthroscopy.

Abstract
There is no agreement on how to classify, define or diagnose hip-related pain-a common cause of hip and groin pain in young and middle-aged active adults. This complicates the work of clinicians and researchers. The International Hip-related Pain Research Network consensus group met in November 2018 in Zurich aiming to make recommendations on how to classify, define and diagnose hip disease in young and middle-aged active adults with hip-related pain as the main symptom. Prior to the meeting we performed a scoping review of electronic databases in June 2018 to determine the definition, epidemiology and diagnosis of hip conditions in young and middle-aged active adults presenting with hip-related pain. We developed and presented evidence-based statements for these to a panel of 37 experts for discussion and consensus agreement. Both non-musculoskeletal and serious hip pathological conditions (eg, tumours, infections, stress fractures, slipped capital femoral epiphysis), as well as competing musculoskeletal conditions (eg, lumbar spine) should be excluded when diagnosing hip-related pain in young and middle-aged active adults. The most common hip conditions in young and middle-aged active adults presenting with hip-related pain are: (1) femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome, (2) acetabular dysplasia and/or hip instability and (3) other conditions without a distinct osseous morphology (labral, chondral and/or ligamentum teres conditions), and that these terms are used in research and clinical practice. Clinical examination and diagnostic imaging have limited diagnostic utility; a comprehensive approach is therefore essential. A negative flexion-adduction-internal rotation test helps rule out hip-related pain although its clinical utility is limited. Anteroposterior pelvis and lateral femoral head-neck radiographs are the initial diagnostic imaging of choice-advanced imaging should be performed only when requiring additional detail of bony or soft-tissue morphology (eg, for definitive diagnosis, research setting or when planning surgery). We recommend clear, detailed and consistent methodology of bony morphology outcome measures (definition, measurement and statistical reporting) in research. Future research on conditions with hip-related pain as the main symptom should include high-quality prospective studies on aetiology and prognosis. The most common hip conditions in active adults presenting with hip-related pain are: (1) FAI syndrome, (2) acetabular dysplasia and/or hip instability and (3) other conditions without distinct osseous morphology including labral, chondral and/or ligamentum teres conditions. The last category should not be confused with the incidental imaging findings of labral, chondral and/or ligamentum teres pathology in asymptomatic people. Future research should refine our current recommendations by determining the clinical utility of clinical examination and diagnostic imaging in prospective studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy between magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) and arthroscopic examination for the assessment of pathologies of the long head of the biceps (LHB) prior to rotator cuff (RC) repair. The hypothesis was that MRA is suitable to identify biceps instabilities, due to improved visibility of the biceps pulley. METHODS Sixty-six patients aged 58.5 ± 17.6 (range, 46-71) scheduled to have RC repair between 2016 and 2017 were prospectively enrolled. MRA images of the LHB were interpreted by one radiologist and two surgeons, then compared to arthroscopic findings. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated by comparing MRA axial readings to arthroscopic assessment in the neutral position (static instability), MRA sagittal readings to arthroscopic assessment in external rotation (dynamic s instability), MRA coronal and axial readings to arthroscopic assessment in the neutral position (tendinopathy). RESULTS Among the three observers, the radiologist obtained the highest sensitivity and specificity for MRA, which were respectively: (1) for static instability, 62% (C.I. 35-85) and 77% (C.I. 63-88); (2) for dynamic instability, 50% (C.I. 29-71) and 62% (C.I. 46-77), and (3) for tendinopathy, 49% (C.I. 36-62) and 100% (C.I. 3-100). CONCLUSIONS MRA is not suitable for the diagnosis of LHB lesions prior to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic study, Level I.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to give a general overview of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and how it could be treated arthroscopically, with some details about indications, the procedure itself and some of the complications associated with the surgery. FAI is a dynamic condition of the hip that can be a source of pain and disability and could potentially lead to arthritis. When symptomatic, and if conservative treatment fails, FAI can be addressed surgically. The goal of surgical treatment for FAI is to recreate the spherical contour of the femoral head, improve femoral offset, normalize coverage of the acetabulum, repair/reconstruct chondral damage and repair/reconstruct the labrum to restore normal mechanics and joint sealing. Advances in equipment and technique have contributed to an increase in the number of hip arthroscopy procedures performed worldwide and have made it one of the more common treatment options for symptomatic FAI. Hip arthroscopy is a procedure with an extremely steep and long learning curve.

[PMID: 29146169 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2017.08.295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2017] [Revised: 08/21/2017] [Accepted: 08/28/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the literature concerning patient demographic characteristics and intra-articular injury seen at arthroscopy after traumatic hip dislocation, describe the reported computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance findings with arthroscopic correlation, and describe the reported arthroscopic treatments performed with complications and outcomes. METHODS A systematic review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for assessment of arthroscopy after hip dislocation. Three databases were searched, and study screening and data abstraction were performed in duplicate. RESULTS Thirty-one heterogeneous case series and case reports were included in the analysis from the initial search yielding 780 results, including reports of 151 patients who underwent arthroscopy after traumatic hip dislocation. A wide spectrum of intra-articular injury was reported, with a high prevalence of labral tears, intra-articular bodies, ligamentum teres injuries, and chondral damage. CT had a sensitivity of 87.3% for detecting intra-articular fragments; however, 43.3% of patients who had a preoperative CT scan with negative findings for intra-articular fragments did show fragments at arthroscopy. Magnetic resonance had a sensitivity of 95.0% for detecting labral tears. There were no major complications directly attributed to arthroscopic surgery. A total of 75 of 151 patients were followed up for a median of 2 years after surgery, with osteoarthritis reported in 4.0% and avascular necrosis in 2.7%. CONCLUSIONS In patients with traumatic hip dislocation, heterogeneously reported previously published cases show that arthroscopy reveals a broad spectrum of intra-articular damage amenable to arthroscopic intervention. CT is not sensitive in the detection of intra-articular bodies in all cases. Although no serious periprocedural adverse events were reported, only 49.7% of patients had reported follow-up data, and further prospective studies would be necessary to show the safety and efficacy of arthroscopy in comparison with conventional treatment algorithms of hip dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, systematic review of Level IV studies.
