Secondary Operations

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine (i) if failing to achieve a patient-reported outcome (PRO) threshold at 1 year was associated with secondary operations at minimum 2-year follow-up and (ii)what outcome measure and threshold has the highest association with future surgeries. Inclusion criteria for this study were cases of primary hip arthroscopy between July 2014 and April 2017. Included patients had recorded pre-operative and 1-year post-operative modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and 12-item international Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) scores. Patients were classified based on their ability to achieve minimal clinical important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) for each PRO and the status of secondary operations at minimum 2-year follow-up. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio for these thresholds were calculated. Of 425 eligible cases, 369 (86.8%) had minimum 2-year follow-up. Of the included patients, 28 underwent secondary operations (7.59%), with 14 undergoing secondary arthroscopies (3.79%) and 14 converting to total hip arthroplasty (3.79%). For mHHS, 267 (72.4%), 173 (46.9%) and 277 (75.1%) hips met MCID, SCB and PASS, respectively. For iHOT-12, 234 (63.4%), 218 (59.1%) and 280 (75.9%) hips met the respective thresholds. The highest specificity, sensitivity and accuracy were identified as for iHOT-12 MCID (0.79), iHOT-12 PASS (0.79) and iHOT-12 MCID (0.77), respectively. Patients not attaining MCID and PASS for mHHS and iHOT-12 at 1-year post-operatively are at increased risk of secondary operation. The most accurate threshold associated with secondary operation (0.77) is not achieving iHOT-12 MCID. Level of evidence: retrospective case series: level IV.

Patient Reported

Background: Minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) have gained prominence as important variables in the orthopaedic outcomes literature. In hip preservation surgery, much attention has been given to defining early clinically meaningful outcome; however, it is unknown what represents meaningful patient-reported outcome improvement in the medium to long term. Purpose: (1) To define MCID, PASS, and SCB at a minimum 5 years after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and (2) to evaluate the time-dependent nature of MCID, PASS, and SCB. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS between January 2012 and March 2014 were included. Clinical and demographic data were collected in an institutional hip preservation registry. MCID, PASS, and SCB were calculated for each outcome score including the Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living subscale (HOS-ADL), Hip Outcome Score–Sport-Specific subscale (HOS-SS), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) at 1, 2, and 5 years. MCID was calculated by use of a distribution-based method, whereas PASS and SCB were calculated by use of an anchor method. Results: The study included 283 patients with a mean ± SD age of 34.2 ± 11.9 years. The mean changes in 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year scores, respectively, required to achieve MCID were as follows: HOS-ADL (8.8, 9.7, 10.2); HOS-SS (13.9, 14.3, 15.2); mHHS (6.9, 9.2, 11.4); and iHOT-12 (15.1, 13.9, 15.1). The threshold scores for achieving PASS were as follows: HOS-ADL (89.7, 88.2, 99.2); HOS-SS (72.2, 76.4, 80.9); mHHS (84.8, 83.3, 83.6); and iHOT-12 (69.1, 72.2, 74.3). Last, the threshold scores for achieving SCB scores were as follows: HOS-ADL (89.7, 91.9, 94.6); HOS-SS (78.1, 77.9, 85.8); mHHS (86.9, 85.8, 94.4); and iHOT-12 (72.6, 76.8, 87.5). More patients achieved MCID, SCB, and PASS at 2-year compared with 1-year follow-up; however, by 5 years, fewer patients had achieved clinically meaningful outcome (minimum 1-, 2-, and 5-year follow-up, respectively: MCID, 82.6%, 87.3%, 79.3%; PASS, 67.6%, 74.9%, 67.5%; SCB, 62.3%, 67.2%, 56.6%). Conclusion: The greatest proportion of patients achieved MCID, PASS, and SCB at 2-year follow-up after arthroscopic treatment of FAIS compared with 1- and 5-year time points. Improvements were maintained out to 5-year follow-up, although the proportion of patients achieving clinical significance was slightly decreased.

Background: Bilateral hip symptoms are common in athletes, and athletes may require treatment with bilateral hip arthroscopy. Return-to-sport (RTS) rates in competitive athletes after unilateral procedures have been reported at 74% to 93%; however, RTS rates after bilateral hip arthroscopy are still unknown. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to determine rate of RTS in competitive athletes undergoing bilateral hip arthroscopy and report minimum 1-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for this cohort. We hypothesized that after bilateral hip arthroscopy, the RTS rate would be similar to the square of the probability of returning after unilateral hip arthroscopy. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Data were prospectively collected on patients undergoing hip arthroscopy at our institution from November 2011 to July 2018. Patients were included if they underwent bilateral hip arthroscopy and were a high school, collegiate, or professional athlete before their first surgery. A patient’s RTS was defined as return to competitive participation in one’s sport at a level the same as or higher than the preoperative level. Additionally, minimum 1-year PROs, including modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), nonarthritic hip score, and Hip Outcome Score–Sports Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), as well as complication rates and future surgery were compared for all patients. Rates of reaching the minimal clinically importance difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) for the mHHS (8 and 74, respectively) and HOS-SSS (6 and 75, respectively) were also recorded. Results: A total of 87 patients met inclusion criteria, for which follow-up was available for 82 (94.3%). At latest follow-up, 100% of professional athletes had returned to their sport, while 53.7% of the entire cohort returned to their sport, with 75.8% of male patients returning versus 38.8% of female patients ( P < .001). Of patients returning, 56% did so at the same ability or higher. The most common reason for not returning was graduation or lifestyle change (47.4%). Patients returning to sport had significantly higher PROs at latest follow-up relative to those who did not return, including mHHS (93.7 vs 87.5), nonarthritic hip score (94.4 vs 88.2), and HOS-SSS (90.9 vs 78.2) ( P < .05). Rates of achieving the PASS and MCID for the mHHS were not significantly different. However, for the HOS-SSS, patients who returned had significantly higher rates of achieving the MCID and PASS thresholds. Conclusion: The rate of RTS among competitive athletes after bilateral hip arthroscopy was similar to the square of published RTS rates after unilateral hip arthroscopy. Both those who returned to play and those who did not showed significant improvement in PROs after surgery. However, those who returned to sports achieved significantly higher scores in all outcome measures. Additionally, patients returning to sports showed a significantly higher rate of attaining the MCID and PASS scores for the HOS-SSS.

Background: Hip arthroscopy is an established surgical treatment for pathologic hip conditions in athletes. There is a paucity in the literature regarding outcomes and return to sport for athletes in the midterm. Purpose: To report minimum 5-year outcomes, return to sport, and level of sport among athletic patients who underwent hip arthroscopy. In addition, we compared 2- and 5-year outcomes to evaluate whether there is a deterioration in functional status. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Data were prospectively collected on all patients who underwent hip arthroscopy between February 2009 and November 2011 at 1 institution. Athletes at the high school, collegiate, or professional level who underwent hip arthroscopy and had preoperative patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores were considered for inclusion. Exclusion criteria were preoperative Tönnis grade >1 or prior ipsilateral hip conditions or surgery. Data on sports participation, competition level, and ability were collected. At a minimum of 5 years postoperatively, PROs, visual analog scale (VAS), iHOT-12 (short version of International Hip Outcome Tool), satisfaction, and postoperative complication data were collected. Results: Seventy-seven hips met all criteria, among which 66 (85.7%) had a minimum 5-year follow-up and were included. There were 37 high school, 20 collegiate, and 9 professional athletes. Mean ± SD improvements at a minimum of 5 years were as follows: modified Harris Hip Score, 66.8 ± 16.3 to 87.0 ± 14.8 ( P < .001); nonarthritic hip score, 66.2 ± 19.9 to 87.2 ± 15.2 ( P < .001); Hip Outcome Score–Sports Specific Subscale, 47.0 ± 22.4 to 79.1 ± 23.0 ( P < .001); and VAS, 5.4 ± 2.5 to 1.8 ± 2.1 ( P < .001). At latest follow-up, mean iHOT-12 was 78.8 ± 22.7, and satisfaction was 8.2. A total of 50 athletes (53 hips, 80.3%) reported that they returned to sports; 71.2% reported “same” or “higher” sport ability as compared with a year before surgery. Postoperative complications included 3 cases (4.5%) of numbness and 1 case (1.5%) of pulmonary embolism. Ten hips (15.2%) required secondary arthroscopies, and no hips were converted to total hip arthroplasty. There were no significant differences between 2- and 5-year PROs, VAS, or satisfaction. Conclusion: Midterm results of hip arthroscopy in athletes are shown to be safe and favorable. Most athletes return to sports and continue to play after 5 years with the same or higher ability.

Background: High-level athletes (HLAs) have been shown to have better short-term outcomes than nonathletes (NAs) after hip arthroscopy. Purpose: (1) To report midterm outcomes of HLAs after primary hip arthroscopy and (2) to compare their results with a propensity-matched cohort of NA patients. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed between February 2008 and November 2015 for HLAs (professional, college, or high school) who underwent primary hip arthroscopy in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). HLAs were included if they had preoperative, minimum 2-year, and minimum 5-year follow-up data for the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), and Hip Outcome Score Sports-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS). Radiographic and intraoperative findings, surgical procedures, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS), minimal clinically important difference (MCID), and return to sport were reported. The HLA study group was propensity-matched to a control group of NA patients for comparison. Results: A total 65 HLA patients (67 hips) were included in the final analysis with mean follow-up time of 74.6 ± 16.7 months. HLAs showed significant improvement in all PROs recorded, achieved high rates of MCID and PASS for mHHS (74.6% and 79.4%, respectively) and HOS-SSS (67.7% and 66.1%, respectively), and returned to sport at high rates (80.4%). When compared with the propensity-matched NA control group, HLAs reported higher baseline but comparable postoperative scores for the mHHS and NAHS. HLA patients achieved MCID and PASS for mHHS at similar rates as NA patients, but the HLA patients achieved PASS for HOS-SSS at higher rates that trended toward statistical significance (66.1% vs 48.4%; P = .07). NA patients underwent revision arthroscopic surgery at similar rates as HLA patients (14.9% vs 9.0%, respectively; P = .424). Conclusion: Primary hip arthroscopy results in favorable midterm outcomes in HLAs. When compared with a propensity-matched NA control group, HLAs demonstrated a tendency toward higher rates of achieving PASS for HOS-SSS but similar arthroscopic revision rates at minimum 5-year follow-up.

Abstract Background: Playing tennis is associated with various movements that can lead to labral injuries and may require arthroscopic surgery. While hip arthroscopies have demonstrated good outcomes in athletes, there is limited literature reporting Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and return to play in competitive or recreational tennis players after hip arthroscopic surgery. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to (1) report minimum five-year PROs and return to sport in tennis players who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery and (2) compare outcomes between recreational and competitive tennis players.Methods: Data for patients who underwent hip arthroscopy surgery in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears between March 2009 and January 2014 and who played tennis at any level within one-year of surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with preoperative and minimum five-year postoperative scores for the following PROs were included: modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score-Sport Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Patients with preoperative Tönnis osteoarthritis Grade >1, Workers’ Compensation claims, age > 60 years old, or previous ipsilateral hip surgeries or conditions were excluded. Patient Acceptable Symptomatic State (PASS) and Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) for mHHS and HOS-SSS were calculated. Results: Of 28 patients, 31 hips met all inclusion and exclusion criteria of which 28 (90.3%) had minimum 5-year follow-up (mean: 72.8 ± 13.9 months). There were 3 professional, 3 collegiate, 2 high school, 2 organized amateur, and 18 recreational level tennis players. All PROs significantly improved at latest follow-up: mHHS from 67.0 to 86.7 (P < 0.001), NAHS from 65.9 to 87.2 (P < 0.001), HOS-SSS from 50.0 to 77.9 (P = 0.009), and VAS from 5.4 to 1.8 (P < 0.001). There was a 75.0% return to sport rate. Additionally, 66.7% of patients achieved MCID and 83.3% achieved PASS for mHHS, and 63.6% achieved MCID and 58.3% achieved PASS for HOS-SSS.Conclusion: Regardless of the level of participation, tennis players who underwent hip arthroscopic surgery reported statistically significant PRO improvements. A favorable rate of return to sport was also achieved by players with a continued interest in playing. The severity of cartilage damage was shown to not influence rate of returned to sport nor PROs in this population. The data here may be useful in counseling tennis players of various levels who are considering arthroscopic treatment of a hip injury. Level of Evidence: IV

Purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate preliminary clinical and radiographic results of arthroscopic treatment of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Methods: thirty-eight patients underwent hip arthroscopy for cam-type FAI between 2009 and 2012. Preoperative assessment was based on clinical examination, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and radiographic examination with anteroposterior pelvis, frogleg and Lequesne views. The patients’ clinical conditions at follow-up were assessed using the mHHS administered as a telephone survey. Radiographic outcome measurements evaluated pre and postoperatively were the alpha angle and femoral head-neck offset. Results: the patients were clinically evaluated at a mean follow-up of 36 months. Radiographic follow-up was performed at an average of 12.7 months. Thirty of the 38 patients (79%) were satisfied with the results of the arthroscopic procedure. A total of nine patients subsequently underwent a total hip replacement. All 30 patients who declared themselves satisfied recorded an mHHS increase; in particular, the mHHS increased from a mean of 52.9 preoperatively (range: 27.5-82.5) to a mean of 85.6 postoperatively (range: 45.1-100.1). Three significant differences between the two groups of patients (satisfied and not satisfied) were recorded: mean age, alpha angle and BMI were all significantly greater in the patients who were not satisfied with the treatment. Conclusions: a crucial aspect in order to obtain good clinical outcomes of arthroscopic treatment of camtype impingement is correct selection of patients who are likely to benefit from this kind of surgery. Hip arthroscopy should be avoided in patients aged over 50 years with risk factors for early osteoarthritis (high BMI and a significantly increased alpha angle). Level of evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series.

Background: Access to quality health care and treatment outcomes can be affected by patients’ socioeconomic status (SES). Purpose: To evaluate the effect of patient SES on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after arthroscopic hip surgery. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Demographic, radiographic, and intraoperative data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed on all patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and labral tear between February 2008 and September 2017 at one institution. Patients were divided into 4 cohorts based on the Social Deprivation Index (SDI) of their zip code. SDI is a composite measure that quantifies the level of disadvantage in certain geographical areas. Patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up for the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), International Hip Outcome Tool—12, and visual analog scale (VAS) for both pain and satisfaction. Rates of achieving the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) were calculated for the mHHS, NAHS, and VAS pain score. Rates of secondary surgery were also recorded. Results: A total of 680 hips (616 patients) were included. The mean follow-up time for the entire cohort was 30.25 months. Division of the cohort into quartiles based on the SDI national averages yielded 254 hips (37.4%) in group 1, 184 (27.1%) in group 2, 148 (21.8%) in group 3, and 94 (13.8%) in group 4. Group 1 contained the most affluent patients. There were significantly more men in group 4 than in group 2, and the mean body mass index was greater in group 4 than in groups 1 and 2. There were no differences in preoperative radiographic measurements, intraoperative findings, or rates of concomitant procedures performed. All preoperative and postoperative PROMs were similar between the groups, as well as in the rates of achieving the MCID or PASS. No differences in the rate of secondary surgeries were reported. Conclusion: Regardless of SES, patients were able to achieve significant improvements in several PROMs after hip arthroscopy for FAIS and labral tear at the minimum 2-year follow-up. Additionally, patients from all SES groups achieved clinically meaningful improvement at similar rates.

Background: The clinical and radiographic features of iatrogenic hip instability following hip arthroscopy have been described. However, the prevalence of presenting symptoms and associated imaging findings in patients with hip instability has not been reported. Purpose: To detail the prevalence of clinical and magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) findings in a cohort of patients with isolated hip instability and to determine midterm patient-reported outcomes in this patient population. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients from 2014 to 2016 who underwent an isolated capsular repair in the revision hip arthroscopy setting. Patients were excluded if they underwent any concomitant procedures, such as labral repair, reconstruction, femoral osteoplasty, or any other related procedure. Several clinical data points were reviewed, including painful activities, mechanical symptoms, subjective instability, Beighton scores, axial distraction testing (pain, toggle, and apprehension), and distractibility under anesthesia. Patient-reported outcomes—including modified Harris Hip Score, Hip Outcome Score–Sports Subscale, Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function Computer Adaptive Test, and a return patient hip questionnaire—were collected pre- and postoperatively. Pre-revision radiographs were obtained, and lateral center-edge angle and alpha angle were measured on anteroposterior and frog-leg lateral views, respectively. Pre-revision MRAs were reviewed and evaluated for capsular changes. Capsular changes were defined as follows: 0, normal; 1, capsular redundancy; 2, focal capsular rent; and 3, gross extravasation of fluid from the capsule. Results: A total of 31 patients met inclusion criteria (5 male, 26 female; 14 right and 17 left hips). The mean age of patients was 36 years (range, 20-58 years). Overall, 27 (87%) reported hip pain with activities of daily living, and 31 (100%) experienced pain with sports or exercise. In addition, 24 (77%) had at least 1 positive finding on axial distraction testing. All patients had evidence of capsular changes on review of pre-revision MRAs. Out of 31 patients, 23 (74%) were available for follow-up at a minimum of 3.3 years and a mean ± SD of 4.6 ± 0.8 years. On average, modified Harris Hip Score improved by 20.3, Hip Outcome Score–Sports Subscale by 25.1, and PROMIS Physical Function Computer Adaptive Test by 6.4. Additionally, 20 (87%) patients reported improved or much improved physical ability, and 18 (78%) reported improved or much improved pain. Conclusion: The current study suggests that patients with hip instability demonstrate high rates of pain with activities of daily living and exercise, positive findings on axial distraction testing, and evidence of capsular changes on magnetic resonance imaging. Furthermore, these patients improve with revision surgery for capsular repair at midterm follow-up.

Background: Hip arthroscopy in patients with borderline dysplasia continues to be surrounded by controversy. Even more controversial is the management of the failed hip arthroscopy in this population. There is a paucity of studies in contemporary literature regarding outcomes after arthroscopic revision surgery. Purpose: (1) To report minimum 2-year patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores in patients with borderline dysplasia who underwent revision hip arthroscopy and (2) to compare these PRO scores with those of a propensity-matched control group without dysplasia who underwent revision hip arthroscopy. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Data were prospectively collected between August 2009 and November 2017. Inclusion criteria were revision arthroscopic surgery, capsular plication, and baseline and minimum 2-year follow-up for the following PROs: modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score–Sports Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Patients with Tönnis grade >1 or previous hip conditions were excluded. Two groups were created: a study group with borderline dysplasia (lateral center-edge angle [LCEA], 18°-25°) and a control group without dysplasia (LCEA, 25°-40°). Groups were propensity-matched in a 1:3 ratio for sex, age, body mass index, and follow-up time. Results: A total of 22 revision borderline dysplastic hips (21 patients) had a minimum 2-year follow-up during the study period. Patients in this group reported significant improvements for all PROs from baseline and achieved the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the mHHS at a rate of 70%. Moreover, 21 borderline dysplastic hips (21 patients) were matched to 63 control hips (63 patients). Mean LCEA for the study and control groups was 22.6 ± 1.7 and 32.0 ± 5.0, respectively. Both groups reported similar improvement in all PROs. The rate for achieving the MCID for the mHHS and VAS was similar between groups; however, the control group had higher rates of meeting the MCID for the HOS-SSS and NAHS ( P = .042 and P = .025, respectively). The rates of conversion to hip arthroplasty were 7.9% (n = 5) in the control group and 23.8% (n = 5) in the borderline dysplasia propensity-matched group ( P = .052). The rate of re-revision arthroscopy was 11.1% (n = 7) in the control group and 19.0% (n = 4) on the borderline dysplasia group ( P = .350). Conclusion: After revision hip arthroscopy, significant improvement was obtained for all PROs in patients with borderline dysplasia at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Moreover, outcomes, patient satisfaction, the rate for achieving the MCID for the mHHS and VAS, and the rate for secondary surgery were similar to those of a propensity-matched control group without dysplasia. Nevertheless, there was a nonsignificant trend toward higher secondary procedures in the study group; therefore, arthroscopic revision surgery in the borderline patients should be approached with measured prognosis.

Objectives: To determine the rate of return to sport (RTS) in high-level athletes undergoing bilateral hip arthroscopy and report minimum 1-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for this cohort. We hypothesized that RTS rates, as well as sport-specific PROs, will be lower than the rates and scores previously reported in the literature for unilateral hip arthroscopy. Methods: Data were prospectively collected on all patients undergoing hip arthroscopy at our institution from November 2011 to July 2018. Patients were included if they underwent bilateral hip arthroscopy and were either a high school, collegiate, or professional athlete prior to their first surgery. RTS was defined as a patient’s return to competitive participation in their respective sport. Additional PROs, including modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), nonarthritic hip score (NAHS), and Hip Outcome Score-Sports Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), as well as complication rates and future surgeries were documented and compared for all patients. Results: A total of 87 patients met inclusion criteria, for which follow-up was available for 82 (94.3%). At latest follow-up, 44 (53.7%) patients returned to sport. Of patients returning, 56% did so at the same level or higher. The most common reasons for not returning to sport were due to graduation/lifestyle change (47.4%) and hip symptoms (44.7%). Patients returning to sport had significantly higher PROs at latest follow-up relative to those who did not return, including for mHHS (93.7 vs. 87.5), NAHS (94.4 vs. 88.2), HOS-SSS (90.9 vs. 78.2) (P < 0.05). Rates of achieving PASS and MCID for mHHS were not significantly different. However, for HOS-SSS, patients who returned had significantly higher rates of achieving the MCID and PASS. Conclusion: Rates of RTS after bilateral hip arthroscopy are lower than those after unilateral hip arthroscopy. When comparing patients that returned to sports and those who did not return, we show that although both groups show a significant improvement in PROs following surgery, those that returned to sport achieved significantly higher scores in all outcome measures. In addition, patients returning to sports showed a significantly higher rate of attaining MCID and PASS scores for the HOS-SSS, possibly attesting to the validity of this score and its thresholds.
