Hip arthroscopy has gained prominence as a primary surgical intervention for symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). This study aimed to identify radiological features, and their combinations, that predict the outcome of hip arthroscopy for FAI. A prognostic cross-sectional cohort study was conducted involving patients from a single centre who underwent hip arthroscopy between January 2013 and April 2021. Radiological metrics measured on conventional radiographs and magnetic resonance arthrography were systematically assessed. The study analyzed the relationship between these metrics and complication rates, revision rates, and patient-reported outcomes.Aims
Methods
This study reports mid-term outcomes after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) exclusively in a borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) population to provide a contrast to published outcomes for arthroscopic surgery of the hip in BHD. We identified 42 hips in 40 patients treated between January 2009 and January 2016 with BHD defined as a lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA) of ≥ 18° but < 25°. A minimum five-year follow-up was available. Patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) including Tegner score, subjective hip value (SHV), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were assessed. The following morphological parameters were evaluated: LCEA, acetabular index (AI), α angle, Tönnis staging, acetabular retroversion, femoral version, femoroepiphyseal acetabular roof index (FEAR), iliocapsularis to rectus femoris ratio (IC/RF), and labral and ligamentum teres (LT) pathology.Aims

What represents clinically significant acetabular undercoverage
in patients with symptomatic cam-type femoroacetabular impingement
(FAI) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to examine
the influence of the degree of acetabular coverage on the functional
outcome of patients treated arthroscopically for cam-type FAI. Between October 2005 and June 2016, 88 patients (97 hips) underwent
arthroscopic cam resection and concomitant labral debridement and/or
refixation. There were 57 male and 31 female patients with a mean
age of 31.0 years (17.0 to 48.5) and a mean body mass index (BMI)
of 25.4 kg/m2 (18.9 to 34.9). We used the Hip2Norm, an
object-oriented-platform program, to perform 3D analysis of hip
joint morphology using 2D anteroposterior pelvic radiographs. The lateral
centre-edge angle, anterior coverage, posterior coverage, total
femoral coverage, and alpha angle were measured for each hip. The
presence or absence of crossover sign, posterior wall sign, and
the value of acetabular retroversion index were identified automatically
by Hip2Norm. Patient-reported outcome scores were collected preoperatively
and at final follow-up with the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis
Outcome Score (HOOS).Aims
Patients and Methods
Hip arthroscopy in the setting of hip dysplasia is controversial in the orthopaedic community, as the outcome literature has been variable and inconclusive. We hypothesise that outcomes of hip arthroscopy may be diminished in the setting of hip dysplasia, but outcomes may be acceptable in milder or borderline cases of hip dysplasia. A systematic search was performed in duplicate for studies investigating the outcome of hip arthroscopy in the setting of hip dysplasia up to July 2015. Study parameters including sample size, definition of dysplasia, outcomes measures, and re-operation rates were obtained. Furthermore, the levels of evidence of studies were collected and quality assessment was performed.Objective
