Journal of Hip Preservation Surgery最新文献

The Journal of Hip Preservation Surgery (JHPS) is not the only place where work in the field of hip preservation can be published. Although our aim is to offer the best of the best, we are continually fascinated by work, which finds its way into journals other than our own. There is much to learn from it, and so JHPS has selected six recent and topical subjects for those who seek a summary of what is taking place in our ever-fascinating world of hip preservation. What you see here are the mildly edited abstracts of the original articles, to give them what JHPS hopes is a more readable feel. If you are pushed for time, what follows should take you no more than 10 min to read. So here goes ….

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a procedure used to treat patients with hip dysplasia. Current literature reports symptomatic hardware removal (HWR) rates of 13.6% following PAO. No reports have examined the incidence of or factors relating to screw breakage during HWR. This study reports the incidence of screw breakage in patients undergoing HWR following PAO and examines the associated clinical and surgical factors. Patients who underwent PAO by a single surgeon from 2012 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic, surgical, and implant information was collected. Constructs were stratified by number (three-screw and four-screw) and type (3.5 mm only, 4.5 mm only, and mixed). Incidence rates of HWR and screw breakage were calculated. Three hundred and two hips from 254 patients undergoing PAO were included. Seventy-one hips from 58 patients underwent HWR (23.5%). Eighteen of 259 screws (6.9%) were broken upon removal in 10/71 hips (14.1%). Significantly more 3.5-mm screws were removed (24.7% vs 21.2%; P = .05) and broken than 4.5-mm screws (10.5% vs 3.8%; P = .04). Time to removal was significantly longer in broken screws (16.8 ± 12.7 months vs 33 ± 18.2 months, P < .001). The use of 3.5-mm screws and increased time from implantation to removal are associated with higher rates of screw breakage during HWR following PAO. The use of 4.5-mm screws and earlier time to removal (less than 12 months) both decrease the probability of breakage.

Intraoperative assessment of labral quality determines arthroscopic repair versus reconstruction for hip labral tear treatment. T2 mapping technology discriminates between healthy and damaged cartilage. This study investigated if T2 mapping magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can preoperatively predict labral repair versus reconstruction. This retrospective comparative study included patients with preoperative T2 mapping MRI who underwent hip labral repair or reconstruction at a single institution between March 2021 and February 2023. Three reviewers using Syngo.via recorded average T2 mapping values for the labrum, acetabular cartilage, and femoral cartilage on patients' sagittal cut. Intraclass correlation values estimated rater agreement of T2 values. T2 means were compared using t-tests. Three Bayesian regression models were created, separately analyzing the labrum, acetabular cartilage, and femoral cartilage mapping values. The 95% credible intervals determined the significance of regression coefficients. A total of 63 operations were included: 14 reconstructions and 49 repairs. Participants were 14- to 50-years-old, with 35 females and 28 males. There was excellent agreement among raters for T2 measurements. There was no significant difference in average T2 values between the repair and reconstruction groups. All three models showed that the odds of labral reconstruction were negatively associated with T2 mapping values, positively associated with age, and increased in males. Preoperative T2 mapping values from the labrum, acetabular, and femoral cartilage are negatively associated with the odds of needing a labral reconstruction. Increased age and being male are associated with increased odds of needing a labral reconstruction. This study will allow further evaluation into other variables that predict labral repair versus reconstruction.

Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) can be a debilitating disease, for which numerous salvage surgeries have been popularized to halt its progression. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of a single-incision core decompression (CD) technique using trochanteric autograft in ONFH and to determine the prognostic factors of treatment success. Sixty-six hips (41 patients) of Association Research Circulation (ARCO) 1 and 2 ONFH undergoing CD were included in the study with a mean follow-up of 58 months. Treatment failure was taken as radiographic collapse and/or conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). The following clinical and radiological factors impacting outcomes were evaluated-symptom duration, etiology, age, sex and body mass index, ARCO grade, Japanese Investigation Committee grade, modified Kerboul angle, and bone marrow edema (BME) on magnetic resonance imaging. Twenty-one of the 66 hips (31.8%) had a radiological collapse by the last follow-up, and 6 hips (9%) required THA. Overall, significant improvement in Harris hip scores (60.18 versus 80.81, P-value = .012) and visual analog scale scores (7.3 versus 1.2, P-value = .025) were noted postoperatively with no surgical complications. Late presentation (>3 months) (P-value = .001) and presence of BME (P = 0.0002) were significantly correlated with poor outcomes. The 5-year collapse-free rate was 68.2%, and 91% hips were arthroplasty free. Our single-incision CD technique using a trochanteric autograft yielded favorable outcomes for precollapse stages of nontraumatic ONFH at 5-year follow-up. Delayed presentation and presence of BME are poor prognostic factors. Adequate patient selection is for achieving a good survivorship and improvement in patient-reported outcomes.

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common condition of the hip that can cause significant damage to the joint, leading to degeneration and osteoarthritis. FAIS constitutes an abnormal and dynamic contact between the femoral head-neck junction and the acetabular rim, resulting from altered bone morphology at one or both sites. Repetitive trauma at the site of impingement generates progressive damage to the acetabular labrum, chondrolabral junction, and articular cartilage. Proper diagnosis based on patient symptoms, specific clinical signs, and imaging findings will guide treatment and ultimately allow preservation of the native hip joint. Common symptoms in patients with FAIS include pain, clicking, catching, buckling, stiffness, giving way, and a limited range of motion of the hip. Specific clinical maneuvers can aid diagnosis, such as flexion adduction internal rotation and flexion abduction external rotation tests. Imaging diagnosis includes orthogonal hip and pelvis X-ray views, as well as magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance arthrogram imaging. Initial treatment of FAIS can be conservative and include physical therapy, intra-articular injections, and activity modification. Currently, the preferred surgical management consists of hip arthroscopy, which aims to correct bony abnormalities, repair or reconstruct labral lesions and address other intra-articular and extra-articular derangements as needed.

The purpose of this study was to validate the success of revision arthroscopic circumferential allograft labral reconstruction (CLR) in nonarthritic hips, which, in the rare case of failure, had previously undergone labral reconstruction by the same surgeon. Using a minimum of 24-month follow-up, data from 24 hips having undergone revision CLR were analyzed to determine improvements in patient-reported outcomes (PROs). All included cases completed a minimum of 24 months follow-up, with a success rate of 96%. All PROs improved significantly, with exceptionally strong measures of effect. Modified Harris Hip Scores improved by a mean of 26.68 points, with 88% of patients meeting the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) (+6.49, P ≤ .001, d = 1.32). Lower Extremity Functional Scale scores improved by a mean of 21.88 points, with 78% of patients meeting the MCID (+7.79, P ≤ .001, d = 1.32). Pain as rated by the Visual Analog Scale, including at rest, during activities of daily living, and with sports, was significantly improved with strong measures of effect, with >75% of patients having met the MCID. This study validated that a failed labral reconstruction of the hip can be revised safely and effectively to another labral reconstruction of the hip. While labral reconstruction has broadly been shown to result in highly favorable outcomes, this study demonstrated that in the rare case of failure, revision CLR is not only feasible but results in improved pain and functionality.
