Abstract The Pilates Method is a common exercise program which focuses on strength, flexibility and control of the body. While the effects of Pilates have been shown to benefit, limited research has investigated its effect on patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). As such, the purpose of this study was to examine the rate of return to Pilates following hip arthroscopy after undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS. The study evaluated consecutive patients who identified themselves as participating in Pilates and had undergone hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAIS by a single fellowship-trained surgeon between 2012 and 2015 were reviewed. Demographic data, baseline physical examination, imaging, pre- and postoperative patient-reported outcome scores at a minimum of 2-years following surgery as well as a Pilates-specific questionnaire were assessed for all patients. A total of 25 patients (all female) with mean age 38 ± 11 years were identified. Preoperatively, 12 patients had discontinued Pilates due to activity-related hip complaints, 11 patients had scaled back involvement, and 2 patients maintained their baseline routine. Postoperatively, 23 of 25 patients (92%) returned to Pilates at an average of 7.7 ± 4.2 months following surgery (range, 3–14 months). Postoperatively, 96% returned to Pilates at the same level or better than preinjury. Preinjury and postoperative involvement in Pilates were comparable (2.2 h v. 1.8 h per week, P = 0.8). Loss of interest and fear of reinjury were the most common reasons for reduced Pilates involvement. All patients had significant improvements in HOS-ADL (pre 56.52 ± 21.6; post 86.1 ± 18.8; P < 0.001), HOS-SS (30.1 ± 20.0, 63.8 ± 34.8; P < 0.001), mHHS scores (57.6 ± 12.8; 79.2 ± 19.6; P < 0.001), and VAS pain (68.8 ± 15.4; 21.4 ± 26.5; P < 0.001). In conclusion, arthroscopic treatment of FAIS in Pilates participants resulted in significant improvements in hip function and predictably high rates of satisfaction.

Background: The influence of femoral torsion on clinically significant outcome improvement after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has not been well-studied. Purpose: To quantify femoral torsion in FAIS patients using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore the relationship between femoral torsion and clinically significant outcome improvement after hip arthroscopy. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included were patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS between January 2012 and August 2018 and had 2-year follow-up and preoperative MRI scans containing transcondylar slices of the knee. Participants were categorized as having severe retrotorsion (SR; <0°), normal torsion (NT; 0°-25°), and severe antetorsion (SA; >25°) as measured on MRI. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) included the Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score–Sports Subscale, modified Harris Hip Score, 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and satisfaction. Achievement of Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) were analyzed among cohorts. Results: Included were 183 patients (SR, n = 13; NT, n = 154; SA, n = 16) with a mean age, body mass index, and femoral torsion of 30.6 ± 12.1 years, 24.0 ± 4.4 kg/m2, and 12.55° ± 9.58°, respectively. The mean torsion was –4.5° ± 2.6° for the SR, 12.1° ± 6.8° for the NT, and 31.0° ± 3.6° for the SA group. There were between-group differences in the proportion of patients who achieved PASS and SCB on the iHOT-12, pain VAS, and any PRO ( P < .05). Post hoc analysis indicated that the SA group achieved lower rates of PASS and SCB on the iHOT-12 and pain VAS, and lower rates of PASS on any PRO versus the SR group ( P < .05); the SR group achieved higher rates of PASS and SCB on pain VAS scores versus the NT group ( P = .003). Conclusion: The orientation and severity of femoral torsion during hip arthroscopy influenced the propensity for clinically significant outcome improvement. Specifically, patients with femoral retrotorsion and femoral antetorsion had higher and lower rates of clinically significant outcome improvement, respectively.

Abstract Background Using the database of the German Cartilage Registry (KnorpelRegister DGOU), this study aims to present patient- and joint-related baseline data in a large cohort of patients with cam-derived femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI) and to detect symptom-determining factors. Materials and methods Requiring cam morphology as the primary pathology, 362 patients were found to be eligible for inclusion in the study. The assessment of preoperative baseline data was performed using the patient-reported outcome measure—International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33). Descriptive statistics were performed to present baseline data. Univariate and multiple regression with post hoc testing were used to identify patient- and joint-related factors that might affect the preoperative iHOT-33 and its subscores, respectively. Results The study collective’s mean age was 36.71 ± 10.89 years, with 246 (68%) of them being male. The preoperative mean iHOT-33 total was 46.31 ± 20.33 with the subsection “sports and recreational activities” presenting the strongest decline (26.49 ± 20.68). The parameters “age,” “sex,” “body mass index” (BMI), and the confirmation of “previous surgery on the affected hip” were identified to statistically affect the preoperative iHOT-33. In fact, a significantly lower mean baseline score was found in patients aged > 40 years (p < 0.001), female sex (p < 0.001), BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (p = 0.002) and in patients with previous surgery on the affected hip (p = 0.022). In contrast, the parameters defect grade and size, labral tears, and symptom duration delivered no significant results. Conclusions A distinct reduction in the baseline iHOT-33, with mean total scores being more than halved, was revealed. The parameters “age > 40 years,” “female sex,” “BMI ≥ 25,” and confirmation of “previous surgery on the affected hip” were detected as significantly associated with decreased preoperative iHOT-33 scores. These results help to identify symptom-defining baseline characteristics of cam-derived FAI syndrome. Trial registration: The German Cartilage Registry is conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and registered at germanctr.de (DRKS00005617). Registered 3 January 2014—retrospectively registered. The registration of data was approved by the local ethics committees of every participating institution. Primary approval was given by the ethics committee at the University of Freiburg (No. 105/13). https://www.drks.de/drks_web/navigate.do?navigationId=trial.HTML&TRIAL_ID=DRKS00005617

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of prior lower extremity surgery on patient reported outcomes following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Consecutive patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS and a prior history of ipsilateral lower extremity surgery were identified and matched 2:1 by age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) to controls without a history of lower extremity surgery. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were calculated for HOS–ADL, HOS–SS, and mHHS. Preoperative and 2-year postoperative patient reported outcomes of both groups were compared, and logistic regression was performed to determine whether lower extremity surgery influenced achieving MCID and PASS. A total of 102 patients (24.94%) with prior history of ipsilateral lower extremity surgery were identified. Ipsilateral orthopaedic knee surgery accounted for more than half (53.92%) of all prior surgeries. Patients with a history of ipsilateral lower extremity surgery had significant lower 2-year PROs, satisfaction, and greater pain when compared to patients without lower extremity surgery (P &lt; 0.001 all). A history of ipsilateral lower extremity surgery was a negative predictor of achieving MCID for HOS–ADL and HOS–SS, as well as PASS for HOS–ADL, HOS–SS, and mHHS (P &lt; 0.001 all). In conclusion, patients with prior lower extremity surgery were found to have inferior outcome scores and a lower likelihood of achieving clinically significant outcome improvement compared to patients without a history of lower extremity surgery at two years postoperatively.

Background: There is much debate in the current literature with regard to the most appropriate hip-specific patient-reported outcome (PRO) measurement for assessment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and outcomes after surgical treatment. Despite systematic reviews assessing the validity of classic hip-specific PROs as well as newer PROs developed to target the young, active population, there lacks a direct comparison of the question content between each PRO. Purpose: To compare the question composition and degree of overlap between commonly used PROs for FAIS. Study Design: Cross-sectional study Methods: A literature review yielded the 6 most commonly cited PROs for assessment of FAIS: modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), international Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33), and Hip Outcome Score (HOS). Questions from each PRO were classified as identical, similar, or unique after pooled comparison, and the number of overlapping (identical or similar) questions between each PRO was determined. Questions were then classified into 5 domains: pain, symptoms, functional activities, sports, and quality of life, and variations in questions assessing each domain based on PRO were analyzed. Results: Analysis of 164 total questions from 6 PROs showed that 87 questions (53%) were identical between 2 or more PROs, 39 (24%) were similar, and 38 (23%) were unique. The iHOT-33 contained the highest number of unique questions, with 13 of 33 (39.4%), while the HOOS contained the lowest number of unique questions, with 3 of 40 (7.5%). The HOOS, HAGOS, and iHOT-33 contained questions assessing all 5 domains of patient outcomes; the NAHS did not evaluate quality of life; the mHHS only assessed pain, symptoms, and functional activities; and the HOS only assessed functional activities and sports. Conclusion: As there is a high percentage of overlapping (identical or similar) questions between the most commonly used hip-specific PROs for FAIS, multiple tests may be appropriate for use. The iHOT-33, HOOS, and HAGOS are well suited for the general population as they offer comprehensive assessments across all domains, while the HOS provides added focus to sports/activity assessments for athletes and highly active patients.

Background: Hip arthroscopy is a viable treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Clinically relevant improvements in hip function and pain after surgery are often reported, but it is less clear how many patients achieve an acceptable symptom state (Patient Acceptable Symptom State [PASS]). Purpose: To investigate the proportion of patients who achieved a PASS 12 to 24 months after hip arthroscopy and to determine the cutoff scores of the 2 recommended and valid patient-reported outcome measures (the subscales of the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score [HAGOS] and the International Hip Outcome Tool—33 [iHOT-33]) for which patients are most likely to achieve PASS. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Eligible study patients were identified in the Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect data on PASS, HAGOS, and iHOT-33 12 to 24 months after surgery. PASS was measured using an anchor question. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were applied to identify the PASS cutoff values of HAGOS and iHOT-33 scores. Results: A total of 137 individuals (mean age at surgery, 35.4 ± 9.4 years) were included in the study at a mean follow-up of 18.5 ± 3.2 months after surgery. At follow-up, 64 individuals (46.7%; 95% CI, 38.6-55.1) reported PASS. Higher HAGOS and iHOT-33 values were observed for participants who reported PASS compared with those who did not report PASS (Cohen d ≥ 1.06; P < .001). Cutoff scores for HAGOS subscales (42.5-82.5) and iHOT-33 (67.00) showed excellent to outstanding discriminative ability in predicting PASS (area under the curve, 0.82-0.92). Conclusion: In total, 46% of individuals having hip arthroscopy for FAIS achieved PASS at 12 to 24 months of follow-up. Patients who achieved PASS had statistically significant and substantially better self-reported hip function compared with those who did not achieve PASS. Cutoff values at HAGOS subscales and iHOT-33 showed excellent to outstanding discriminative ability in predicting patients with PASS.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is most commonly diagnosed in patients who perform activities that require repetitive hip flexion and rotational loading. Yoga is an activity growing in popularity that involves these motions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients’ ability to return to yoga after hip arthroscopy for FAIS. Hypothesis: There would be a high rate of return to yoga after hip arthroscopy. Study Design: Retrospective analysis. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Methods: Consecutive patients with FAIS who had identified themselves as participating in yoga and had undergone hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAIS between 2012 and 2015 were reviewed. Demographic data were collected and assessed for all patients, as well as preoperative physical examination, imaging, and patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores, including the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL) and Sports-Specific (HOS-SS) subscales, and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Postoperatively, examination and PRO data were collected at a minimum 1 year after surgery, including a yoga-specific questionnaire. Results: A total of 42 patients (90% female; mean age, 35 ± 9 years; mean body mass index, 23.1 ± 3.2 kg/m2) were included. Thirty patients (71%) had to discontinue their yoga routine preoperatively because of hip-related symptoms at a mean 9.5 ± 8.2 months before surgery. After surgery, 39 patients (93%) were able to return to yoga at a mean 5.3 ± 2.2 months after surgery. Two of the 3 patients who did not return to yoga noted loss of interest as their reason for stopping, while 1 patient was unable to return because of persistent hip pain. Nineteen patients (45%) returned to a higher level of yoga practice, 17 patients (40%) returned to the same level, and 3 patients (7%) returned to a lower level. There was no difference in the number of hours spent practicing yoga per week pre- and postoperatively (2.7 ± 1.9 vs 2.5 ± 1.3 hours; P = 0.44). All patients demonstrated significant improvement in all PROs as well as pain scores after surgery (HOS-ADL, 67.4 ± 18.3 to 93.1 ± 6.9 [ P < 0.001]; HOS-SS, 45.6 ± 24.7 to 81.5 ± 18.8 [ P < 0.001]; mHHS, 62.3 ± 11.3 to 86.8 ± 12.3 [ P < 0.0001]; VAS pain, 6.3 ± 2.2 to 0.90 ± 1.1 [ P < 0.001]). Conclusion: Patients participating in yoga return to yoga 93% of the time and at a mean 5.3 ± 2.2 months after hip arthroscopy for FAIS. Clinical Relevance: Information regarding surgical outcomes is critical in counseling patients, particularly female athletes, on their expectations with respect to returning to yoga after hip arthroscopy for FAIS.
