Introduction Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) resulting from abnormal contact between the acetabulum and femur has been studied extensively in recent years owing to its association with acetabular labrum tears and possible contribution to the development of osteoarthritis. Methods A comprehensive PubMed, MEDLINE® and Embase™ literature search was conducted. Search terms included ‘femoroacetabular impingement’, ‘pathophysiology’, ‘diagnosis’, ‘dGEMRIC’, ‘arthroscopic’, ‘open’, ‘mini-open’ and ‘outcome measure’. Results A range of radiographic features have been described, and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are both commonly used in the diagnosis of the bony abnormalities in FAI. Treatment of FAI is surgical with methods of treatment ranging from open surgical hip dislocation to arthroscopic osteochondroplasty. Conclusions In recent years, a trend towards the use of arthroscopic treatment for FAI has been seen, with promising results from a range of studies. However, only short-term outcome data are available and a range of different outcome measures have been used in studies to date. We present an overview of the outcomes for a range of surgical treatment methods for FAI and discuss the outcome measures used.

Background: Longer term outcome data are now becoming available for short-tapered femoral stems for cementless total hip arthroplasty. The shorter stem has a metaphyseal fit, loading the bone in this area, leading to physiological bone remodelling. It is also bone preserving, as it is 35 mm shorter. It may be easier to insert through a smaller incision and potentially reduce complication rates. We present a retrospective single surgeon case series of 196 patients (>53% follow-up over 5 years). All patients had the cementless ‘Microplasty Taperloc’ (Biomet). Primary outcome measures were femoral component revision rates. Secondary outcome measures included complications, patient-reported functional outcome scores (Oxford hip) and radiographic evidence of loosening. Methods: Patients were identified using electronic software. All were routinely followed up and assessed in clinic since implant introduction in 2009. Oxford hip scores were routinely obtained. A surgeon who had not carried out the procedure independently assessed radiographs. Results: One hundred ninety-six patients were identified. The revision rate was 0.5% due to an intraoperative peri-prosthetic fracture of the femur identified on post-operative radiograph. The complication rate was 2%, attributable to: subsidence of the prosthesis (one hip), post-operative dislocation (two hips), one of which required acetabular revision. Oxford hip scores increased on average from 21 to 45 (pre- to post-operatively). There were no signs of radiographic loosening. Conclusion: The results show that using the short-tapered stem is proving so far to be a reliable and safe alternative to its longer counterpart, with low complication rates in the short term.

AbstractA number of authors have suggested that surgery for suspected perilymph fistula is effective in preventing deterioration of hearing and in improving hearing in some cases in the short term. We present long-term hearing outcome data from 35 children who underwent exploration for presumed perilymph fistula at The Children's Hospital, Sydney, Australia, between 1985 and 1992.Methods:The pre-operative audiological data (mean of 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz results) were compared with the most recently available data (range two to 15 years) and the six-month post-operative data.Results:The short-term results showed no significant change in hearing at six months, with a subsequent, statistically significant progression of hearing loss in both operated and non-operated ears (Wilcoxon signed rank test: operated ear, p < 0.017; non-operated ear, p < 0.009).Conclusion:In this case series, exploratory surgery for correction of suspected perilymph fistula did not prevent progression of long-term hearing loss.

Background: Gender is known to influence the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of the coronary vascular disease. Data on gender-related differences in patients with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock is lacking in current literature. We aimed to analyze the impact of gender on intraoperative and short-term outcomes of vaECMO patients after coronary surgery and postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock. Methods: Between 2006 and 2017, a total of 92 patients with PCS after CABG underwent vaECMO-implantation at our institution. After a 1:1 propensity score match (PSM) for relevant preoperative data, we identified a cohort of 32 patients, 16 males, and 16 females. Periprocedural and short-term outcome data were analyzed with respect to sex differences. Results: The mean age was 64 ± 11 years, and 79% ( n = 73) were male patients. Clinical outcomes showed a 30-day all-cause mortality of 64% ( n = 59). After PSM, male patients showed a significantly smaller number of arterial grafts (0.4 ± 0.53 male vs 1.1 ± 0.7 female; p = 0.037). Thirty-day all-cause mortality did not differ between the groups (56% male vs 75% female; p = 0.262). In general, short-term outcome data were comparable without significant differences for the matched groups. Conclusion: Gender has no impact on patients with vaECMO therapy due to PCS in isolated coronary surgery.

Abstract In this study, we retrospectively investigated the short-term outcome of femoral neck rotational osteotomy (FNRO) for treating necrotic femoral heads with large and laterally located lesions. Twelve necrotic femoral heads (ARCO stage II or III) with an average Kerboul angle of 210° underwent FNRO through surgical hip dislocation. By circumferential release of capsule and retinaculum, femoral neck osteotomy was performed at the base of femoral neck just 1.5 cm above lesser trochanter. The severed femoral neck was rotated with a mean angle of 120.4° and fixed with a mean varus angulation of 10.2°. Both Harris hip score and International hip outcome tool improved at a mean follow-up of 29 months. The average post-operative intact rate was 55.3%. Subsequent collapse or progression to osteoarthritis was found in four hips but only one hip failed with a Harris hip score of 44 and converted to hip replacement. Post-operative leg length discrepancy was 1.1 cm. Limp presented in seven hips. Six hips had osteophyte formation. FNRO through surgical hip dislocation had the advantages of safe exposure, direct visualization of necrotic lesion and high reorientation of healthy bone and articular cartilage on femoral head. We observed satisfactory short-term survivorship and improved patient-reported outcomes in necrotic femoral heads treated with FNRO.

Objectives: The acetabular labrum provides sealing function and a degree of hip joint stability. Previous early (16 month) and mid-term (mean 3.5 years) follow-up of this cohort reported better patient related outcome measures in the refixation group. To update the results of labral refixation versus focal labral excision/debridement in a cohort of patients who underwent arthroscopic correction of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Methods: We reported patients who underwent labral debridement/focal labral excision during a period before the development of labral repair techniques. Patients with labral tears thought to be repairable with our current arthroscopic technique were compared with patients who underwent labral refixation. In 46 hips, the labrum was focally excised/debrided (group 1); in 54 hips, the labrum was refixed (group 2). Outcomes were measured with modified-Harris-Hip-Score (mHHS), Short Form-12 (SF-12), and a visual-analog-scale (VAS) for pain preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: Mean age was 33 years in group 1 and 28 years in group 2 with mean follow-up of 7 years (range, 2-13.6 years). At mean follow-up, subjective outcomes were significantly improved (P<.01) for both groups compared with preoperative scores. The mHHS (P=.004), SF-12 (P=.016), and VAS pain scores (P<.001) were all significantly better for refixation group compared with debridement group. Although most recent outcomes for both groups fell at mean 7 years’ follow-up in comparison to 16 month and 3.5 year follow-up, the disparity between groups was greater in favor of labral refixation. Good-to-excellent results were 47.7% in debridement and 82.4% in refixation (p<.001), and failure rates were 31.8% (debridement) and 13.7% (refixation group) (p =.034). There were 4 revisions in the debridement group and none in the refixation group. Conclusion: Longer term follow-up comparing focal labral debridement/excision to refixation revealed a decrease in patient related outcome scoring and good/excellent results in both groups. Ultimately, there was a greater drop in outcome measures and good/excellent results in the debridement group and better maintenance of results in the refixation group at mean 7 years follow-up.
