Purpose

To determine the differences of biomechanical properties in three conditions including 1) native cam deformity 2) cam deformity with incomplete resection and 3) cam deformity with complete resection.

Methods

A cadaveric study was performed using 8 frozen, hemi-pelvises with cam-type deformity (alpha angle >55°) measured on CT scan and an intact labrum. Intraarticular pressure maps were produced for each specimen under the following conditions: 1) native cam deformity, 2) cam deformity with incomplete resection and 3) cam deformity with complete resection. A 5.5-mm burr was used to resect the lateral portion of the cam deformity to a depth of 3–4 mm. The specimen was placed in a custom designed jig in the MTS electromechanical test system to create pressure and area map measurements. In each condition, three biomechanical parameters were obtained including contact pressure, contact area and peak force within a region-of-interest (ROI). Repeated measurements were performed for three times in each condition and the average value of each parameter was used for statistical analysis. ANOVA was used to compare biomechanical parameters between three conditions.
