INTRODUCTION: Hip arthroscopy is an effective treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Purpose of the present study was to report the patient reported outcomes, hip survival retrospectively at a mean follow-up of five years. METHODS: Retrospectively collected data on 25 patients with FAI at minimum follow-up of 42 months (mean 60 months) treated with hip arthroscopy and labrum repair were analyzed. The primary outcome measures were the Hip Outcome Score (HOS) Activities of Daily Living (ADL) subscale, HOS-Sport subscale, Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Patient satisfaction was rated. Measurement of joint spaces and osteoarthritis (Tonnis) grading were done preoperatively and at the latest follow-up RESULTS: Pre- and postoperative mean alpha angles were 670±40 and 460±30. %76 of patients achieved minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for HOSADL and %56 of patients achieved MCID for HOSSS and all reached MCID for VAS pain score. Mean satisfaction level was 7.5±1.8 Mean preoperative Tonnis stage of the patients was 0.9±0.9 which increased to 1.1±0.8 (p: 0.046). Mean preoperative lateral joint space was 4.8±1 which decreased to 4.5±1 p<0.001. Mean middle joint space also decreased from 4.5±0.9 to 4.3±0.7 (p: 0.04). However this decrease was not statistically significant at joint space measured at foveal level (p˃0.05) (5±0.8 vs 4.9±0.7). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Mid-term results show that that after cam decompression, it is possible to say that hip joint is at least preserved and progression of hip osteoarthritis seems to be delayed. Patient functional results, pain scores are generally improved in line with the literature Keywords: hip arthroscopy, osteoarthritis, hip impingement

AbstractArthroscopic techniques in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement have experienced an exponential increase over recent years for both diagnosis and treatment. The main risks with treatment are poor clinical outcomes and the conversion to prosthesis. Better knowledge and understanding of the various risk factors leading to prosthesis will improve patient selection for arthroscopic treatments rendering better results. The published papers that have been selected are related to series of hip arthroscopies with risk factors that lead to total hip arthroplasty (THA), in the PubMed database, without a time limit, number of patients, or follow-up time. We selected over 302 papers, 19 papers that show risk factors for conversion to THA. The main risk factors found were femoral chondropathy grade III/IV (relative risk 58.1–12 times increased), acetabular (20–2.96 times), an articular space <2 mm (39–4.26 times), age (14.6–1.06 times), Tönnis 2 in radiographic studies (7.73–3.1 times), obesity (5.6–2.3 times), and osteoarthritis (4.6–2.4 times). There are several risk factors which in an isolated way, highly increase the risk of THA. Some of them have a clear relationship (chondropathy, reduced joint space, Tönnis 2, and osteoarthritis). Based on the review we observed that the elements that are most associated with a conversion to THA after a hip arthroscopy are a high degree of femoral and acetabular chondropathy, a reduced joint space below 2 mm, older age, Tönnis 2, obesity, and hip osteoarthritis.

Background. Total cementless hip joint arthroplasty is universally recognized as a method of treatment of ad­vanced hip osteoarthritis. Multifaceted research by a wide group of implant specialists has led to the development of special implants that fulfill their purpose even in the most severe deformities of the hip joint. The aim of the study is to present and analyse the results of hip joint arthroplasty with the Antega anatomical stem. Materials and methods. The study enrolled 533 patients (342 women and 191 men) who underwent a total of 595 hip joint arthroplasties with the Antega anatomical stem. The mean age of the patients at surgery was 56.2 years (range: 20-87 years). The mean follow-up period was 7.3 years (range: 5-15.5 years). Results. Pre-operative Merle d’Aubigne-Postel scores (modified by Charnley) were poor in all patients. Mean post-operative improvement was 6.1 points. The outcomes were classified as excellent in 419 cases (70.4%), good in 102 cases (17.1%), satisfactory in 39 (6.6%) and poor in 34 cases. Poor results were usually associated with loosening of one of the prosthetic components. Heterotopic ossification was noted in 37 cases (6.2%). According to the Kaplan-Meier estimator, 10 years’ survival probability was 89.9% for the whole implant and 96.1% for the stem alone. Conclusions. 1. Our follow-up data (from a mean follow-up period of more than 10 years) indicate that the Antega anatomical stem affords excellent clinical and functional results. 2. With good surgical technique and in the absence of complications, the risk of aseptic loosening is minimal. 3. Modification of the Antega stem implantation technique significantly reduces the risk of so-called unexplained thigh pain, which sometimes occurs following hip replacement surgery. 4. As only medium-term follow-up data are available, there may be more cases of loosening (mainly of the acetabular cup) over time, requiring regular long-term follow-up.

Abstract Background Individuals with high bone mass (HBM) have a greater odds of prevalent radiographic hip osteoarthritis (OA), reflecting an association with bone-forming OA sub-phenotypes (e.g. osteophytosis, subchondral sclerosis). As the role of bone mineral density (BMD) in hip OA progression is unclear, we aimed to determine if individuals with HBM have increased incidence and/or progression of bone-forming OA sub-phenotypes. Methods We analysed an adult cohort with and without HBM (L1 and/or total hip BMD Z-score > + 3.2) with pelvic radiographs collected at baseline and 8-year follow-up. Sub-phenotypes were graded using the OARSI atlas. Superior/inferior acetabular/femoral osteophyte and medial/superior joint space narrowing (JSN) grades were summed and Δosteophyte and ΔJSN derived. Pain and functional limitations were quantified using the WOMAC questionnaire. Associations between HBM status and change in OA sub-phenotypes were determined using multivariable linear/logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, height, total body fat mass, follow-up time and baseline sub-phenotype grade. Generalised estimating equations accounted for individual-level clustering. Results Of 136 individuals, 62% had HBM at baseline, 72% were female and mean (SD) age was 59 (10) years. HBM was positively associated with both Δosteophytes and ΔJSN (adjusted mean grade differences between individuals with and without HBM βosteophyte = 0.30 [0.01, 0.58], p = 0.019 and βJSN = 0.10 [0.01, 0.18], p = 0.019). Incident subchondral sclerosis was rare. HBM individuals had higher WOMAC hip functional limitation scores (β = 8.3 [0.7, 15.98], p = 0.032). Conclusions HBM is associated with the worsening of hip osteophytes and JSN over an average of 8 years, as well as increased hip pain and functional limitation.

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.

Thumb carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) arthritis is a common and painful condition. Thumb CMCJ prosthetic replacement aims to restore thumb biomechanics and improve pain and function. Early reviews demonstrated a lack of high-quality studies, but more recently a significant number of higher-quality studies have been published. This review provides a concise and systematic overview of the evidence to date. A systematic review of several databases was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies evaluating the outcomes of thumb CMCJ prosthetic total joint replacement were included. Data extracted included patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), pain scores, range of motion, strength, survival rates and complications. A total of 56 studies met all inclusion criteria and were analysed. There was one randomized controlled trial, three prospective comparative cohort studies, five retrospective comparative cohort studies, and 47 descriptive cohort studies. The reported studies included 2731 patients with 3048 thumb total CMCJ prosthetic joint replacements. Follow up ranged from 12 months to 13.1 years. In general, good results were demonstrated, with improvements in PROMs, pain scores and strength. Failure rates ranged from 2.6% to 19.9% depending upon implant studied. Comparative studies demonstrated promising results for replacement when compared to resection arthroplasty, with modest improvements in PROMs but at a cost of increased rates of complications. Studies reporting outcomes in thumb CMCJ prosthetic total joint replacement are increasing in both number and quality. Failure, in terms of loosening and dislocation, remains a concern, although in the medium-term follow up for modern implants this issue appears to be lower when compared to their predecessors. Functional outcomes also look promising compared to resection arthroplasty, but further high-quality studies utilizing a standardized resection arthroplasty technique and modern implants, together with standardized core outcome sets, will be of value.

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

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.

Introduction:There is a paucity of literature examining the effects of alcohol consumption on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after hip arthroscopy. The purpose of this study was to report 2-year outcomes of hip arthroscopy in patients who consume alcohol compared to patients who abstain.Methods:Registry data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed to identify heavy drinkers at the time of primary hip arthroscopy. Patients were matched 1:1 (heavy drinkers:non-drinkers) based on age, sex, BMI, acetabular Outerbridge grade, and capsular treatment. All patients were assessed with 4 validated PROs: mHHS, NAHS, HOS-SSS, and iHOT-12. Pain was estimated with VAS.Results:42 patients were pair matched in each group (heavy drinkers:non-drinkers). Both groups demonstrated significant improvement for all PROs and VAS. Heavy drinkers reported lesser improvement in HOS-SSS ( p = 0.0169), smaller decrease in VAS ( p = 0.0157), and lower final scores on iHOT-12 ( p = 0.0302), SF-12 mental ( p = 0.0086), and VR-12 mental ( p = 0.0151). Significantly fewer patients in the heavy-drinking group reached PASS for mHHS ( p = 0.0464). Odds of achieving PASS for mHHS was 2.5 times higher for patients who abstain from alcohol. The rates of revision hip arthroscopy and conversion to total hip arthroplasty were not statistically different between groups.Conclusion:While hip arthroscopy may still yield clinical benefit in drinkers, patients who consume heavy amounts of alcohol may ultimately achieve an inferior functional status and should be counselled on drinking cessation to optimise their results.

Background: Patients experience varying degrees of pain and symptoms during the early recovery period after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Some “fast starters” report minimal discomfort and are eager to advance activities, while “slow starters” describe severe pain and limitations. The relationship between these early postoperative symptoms and 2-year outcomes after hip arthroscopy is unknown. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between early postoperative pain and 2-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after hip arthroscopy for FAI. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Patients without arthritis or dysplasia who were undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for FAI were prospectively enrolled and completed validated PROs. Scores for visual analog scale (VAS) for pain were collected preoperatively and at 1 week, 6 weeks, and 2 years postoperatively. Scores for the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), and 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) were collected preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. Paired t tests were used to evaluate PRO score changes, and correlation analyses were used to assess relationships between early postoperative pain and 2-year postoperative outcomes. Results: A total of 166 patients were included (55% female; mean ± SD age, 35.29 ± 9.6 years; mean body mass index, 25.07 ± 3.98 kg/m2). Patients demonstrated significant improvements in PRO scores (VAS, SF-12 Physical Component Score, mHHS, and all HOOS subscales) at 2 years after hip arthroscopy for FAI ( P < .001). There was a significant correlation between lower 1-week VAS pain level (fast starters) and lower 2-year VAS pain level ( R = 0.31; P < .001) as well as higher 2-year PRO scores (SF-12 Physical Component Score, mHHS, and all HOOS subscales: R = −0.21 to −0.3; P < .001). There was no correlation between 1-week VAS pain and 2-year SF-12 Mental Component Score ( P = .17). Preoperative VAS pain levels showed positive correlations with 1-week postoperative pain scores ( R = 0.39; P < .001) and negative correlations with 2-year patient outcomes ( R = −0.15 to −0.33, P < .01). There was no correlation between 6-week postoperative pain scores and 2-year PRO scores. Conclusion: Fast starters after hip arthroscopy for FAI experience sustained improvements in outcomes at 2 years after surgery. Patient pain levels before surgery may delineate potential fast starters and slow starters.
