Progress in diagnosis and hip arthroscopic treatment of borderline developmental dysplasia of hip with Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To summarize the biomechanical characteristics, diagnosis, and hip arthroscopic treatment of borderline developmental dysplasia of hip (BDDH) with Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (Cam FAI).@*METHODS@#The literature on BDDH with Cam FAI at home and abroad in recent years was extensively reviewed and analyzed.@*RESULTS@#In patients with BDDH and Cam FAI, the femoral neck anteversion angle and femoral neck shaft angle increase, the pelvis tilts, and the acetabulum rotates, resulting in instability of the hip joint. In order to maintain the stability of the hip joint, the direction of biomechanical action of the hip joint has changed, which further affects the anatomical structures such as the proximal femur and acetabular morphology. BDDH with Cam FAI can be diagnosed clinically by combining lateral center edge angle, anterior center edge angle, and acetabular index. BDDH with Cam FAI can be effectively treated through arthroscopic polishing of the edges of the acetabular proliferative bone, excision of Cam malformations, and minimally invasive repair of the glenoid lip and cartilage of the hip joint.@*CONCLUSION@#Currently, there is no unified standard for the diagnosis and treatment of BDDH with Cam FAI. Minimally invasive treatment of the hip under arthroscopy can achieve good early- and medium-term effectiveness, and has certain advantages in repairing and maintaining the integrity of the glenoid lip and suturing/compression joint capsule. However, the long-term effectiveness needs to be further followed up to determine. The timing of surgery, intraoperative bone edge depth polishing, and joint capsule suturing/compression techniques also need to be further explored.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Cam Type Femoroacetabular Impingement: Short Term Results / 대한고관절학회지

PURPOSE: We evaluated the short term results after treatment of cam type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) by arthroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated the clinical and radiological results of arthroscopically treated cam type FAI in patients who had failed conservative treatment with hip pain, with at least 12 months follow-up, from November 2010 to December 2012. There were 19 males and six females. Mean age of patients was 32.9 years (19-57 years) and mean follow up period was 17.2 months (13-31 months). We analyzed the alpha angle, head neck offset, visual analogue scale (VAS), and modified Harris hip score (MHHS). RESULTS: Mean alpha angle improved from 64.8degrees to 39.9degrees and mean head neck offset also improved from 0.8 to 7.6 mm. Peripheral longitudinal and radial fibrillated labral tear was the most common in the anterosuperior quadrant. Damage to acetabular cartilage was identified in 14 patients. Mean VAS improved from 6.3 to 0.9 and mean MHHS improved from 51.7 to 73.6. Complications associated with the operation included three cases of femoral head articular cartilage injury, two cases of pudendal nerve injury, and two cases of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury. CONCLUSION: Although the short term results for arthroscopically treated cam type FAI were satisfactory, care must be taken to reduce the complications associated with arthroscopy and long term follow is needed in order to determine whether or not it can reduce osteoarthritis of the hip.
