Dolor de cadera en adolescentes: estudio y tratamiento / Hip pain in adolescent: assessment and treatment

En adolescentes que consultan por dolor de cadera o pelvis, es crucial una adecuada historia clínica para orientarnos sobre la etiología del dolor y comprender los mecanismos que lo generan. Es importante conocer y realizar un exhaustivo examen físico, con especial énfasis en la cadera, incluyendo pruebas específicas para diferentes patologías, además de comprender las indicaciones de los diferentes estudios de imágenes, para así lograr un correcto diagnóstico.Entre las causas más frecuentes de coxalgia en adolescentes debemos considerar la epifisiolisis, el pinzamiento femoroacetabular con o sin roturas del labrum, las lesiones avulsivas de la pelvis, la coxa saltans, entre otras. Aunque son poco frecuentes, patologías sistémicas como reumatológicas y oncológicas también deben ser descartadas en adolescentes. Un diagnóstico de certeza nos permitirá realizar una adecuada estrategia de tratamiento, a fin de lograr una rehabilitación precoz y evitar futuras complicaciones.

In adolescents presenting with hip or pelvis pain, an adequate medical history is crucial to guide the etiology and understand the mechanisms that generate it. It is important to know and carry out an exhaustive physical examination, with special attention to the hip, including specific tests for different pathologies, in addition to understand the indications of the different imaging studies, in order to achieve a correct diagnosis. Among the most frequent causes of hip pain in adolescents, we must rule out slipped capital femoral epiphysis, femoroacetabular impingement with or without labral tears, avulsion lesions of the pelvis, snapping hip, among others. Although rare, systemic pathologies such as rheumatologic and oncologic diseases must also be ruled out in adolescents. An accurate diagnosis will allow us to carry out an adequate treatment strategy, in order to achieve early rehabilitation and avoid future complications.

Femoroacetabular Impingement and Acetabular Labral Tears - Part 3: Surgical Treatment / Impacto femoroacetabular e lesão do lábio acetabular - Parte 3: Tratamento cirúrgico

Abstract In the last 15 years, the diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement has become more frequent; with the advance of surgical indications, different techniques have been developed. Surgical treatment includes a wide variety of options, namely: periacetabular osteotomy, surgical hip dislocation, arthroscopy with osteochondroplasty via a small incision, modified anterior approach technique, and exclusively arthroscopic technique. The type of approach should be chosen according to the complexity of the morphology of the femoroacetabular impingement and to the surgeon's training. The techniques most used today are arthroscopy, surgical dislocation of the hip, and periacetabular osteotomy. The present article aims to describe the current main surgical techniques used to treat femoroacetabular impingement, their indications, advantages and disadvantages, complications and clinical results.

O tratamento cirúrgico inclui grande variedade de opções, sendo elas: osteotomia periacetabular, técnica de luxação cirúrgica do quadril, artroscopia com osteocondroplastia via pequena incisão, técnica via anterior modificada, e técnica exclusivamente artroscópica. O tipo de abordagem deve ser escolhido de acordo com a complexidade da morfologia do impacto femoroacetabular e com o treinamento do cirurgião. As técnicas mais utilizadas atualmente são a artroscopia, a luxação cirúrgica do quadril e a osteotomia periacetabular. O presente artigo busca descrever as principais técnicas cirúrgicas utilizadas para o tratamento do impacto femoroacetabular, suas indicações, vantagens e desvantagens, complicações e resultados clínicos.

Pinzamiento femoroacetabular, causa de dolor en la cadera en el adulto joven / Femoroacetabular impingement causing hip pain in young adults / Le pincement fémoro-acétabulaire à l'origine de la douleur aux hanches chez le sujet jeune

El dolor de la cadera en adultos ha sido tradicionalmente asociado con osteoartritis en dicha articulación. Sin embargo, vemos a muchos pacientes jóvenes con dolor en la cadera, sin artritis, en nuestras consultas. Recientemente, un anormal contacto entre el acetábulo y la unión de cabeza-cuello femoral, conocido como síndrome de pinzamiento femoroacetabular se ha reconocido como una causa preartrítica relativamente común de estos síntomas. Se realizó una amplia revisión bibliográfica con la finalidad de conocer la incidencia de pinzamiento femoroacetabular reportada en la literatura internacional así como todo lo relacionado con el diagnóstico clínico-radiológico y el tratamiento de esta afección. El pinzamiento femoroacetabular es una de las principales causas de dolor en la cadera del adulto joven así como de osteoartritis; la artroscopia de cadera va tomando un papel cada vez más preponderante en el tratamiento de esta afección.

Hip pain in adults has traditionally been associated with osteoarthritis in that joint. However, in our consultations we see many young patients with hip pain, with no arthritis. Recently, an abnormal contact between the acetabulum and the femoral head-neck union, known as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome has been recognized as a relatively common pre-arthritis cause of these symptoms. An extensive literature review was conducted in order to determine the incidence of femoroacetabular impingement reported in international literature and all related to the clinical and radiological diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Femoroacetabular impingement is a major cause of hip pain in adult and osteoarthritis; hip arthroscopy is taking an increasingly prominent role in the treatment of this condition.

Chez les adultes, la douleur de hanche a été d’habitude associée à une ostéoarthrite de cette dite articulation. Néanmoins, on peut voir dans nos cabinets pas mal de jeunes patients souffrant d’une douleur de hanche, sans arthrite. Un contact anormal entre l’acétabulum et la jonction tête et col du fémur, aussi appelé conflit fémoro-acétabulaire, a été récemment décrit comme une cause pré-arthritique relativement commune de ces symptômes. Une large analyse bibliographique a été réalisée afin de connaître l’incidence du conflit fémoro-acétabulaire rapportée dans la littérature internationale, ainsi que tout ce qui est en relation avec le diagnostic clinique et radiologique et le traitement de ce trouble. Le pincement fémoro-acétabulaire est l’une des principales causes de douleur de hanche, ainsi que d’ostéoarthrite, chez le sujet jeune; l’arthroscopie joue un rôle de plus en plus prépondérant dans le traitement de cette affection.

Abordagem extracapsular para tratamento artroscópico de impacto femoroacetabular: resultados clínicos, radiográficos e complicações / Extracapsular approach for arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement: clinical and radiographic results and complications

Avaliar os resultados clínicos e radiográficos e as complicações relativos a pacientes submetidos a tratamento artroscópico de impacto femoroacetabular com o uso da abordagem extracapsular. MÉTODOS: Entre janeiro de 2011 e março de 2012, 49 pacientes (50 quadris) foram submetidos a tratamento artroscópico de impacto femoroacetabular pela Equipe de Cirurgia do Quadril do Hospital Ortopédico de Passo Fundo (RS). Preencheram todos os requisitos necessários para este trabalho 40 pacientes (41 quadris). O seguimento médio foi de 29,1 meses. Os pacientes foram avaliados pelo Harris Hip Score modificado por Byrd (MHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS) e quanto à rotação interna do quadril. Também foram avaliados radiograficamente. Aferiu-se o ângulo CE, a dimensão do espaço articular, o ângulo alfa, o índice colo-cabeça, o grau de artrose e a presença de ossificação heterotópica do quadril. RESULTADOS: Dos 41 quadris tratados, 31 (75,6%) apresentaram resultados clínicos bons ou excelentes. Observou-se um aumento médio pós-operatório de 22,1 pontos para o MHHS, 21,5 para o NAHS e 16,4° na rotação interna do quadril (p < 0,001). Quanto à avaliação radiográfica, observou-se correção para índices considerados normais do ângulo alfa e índice colo-cabeça, com diminuição média de 32,9oe aumento médio pós-operatório de 0,10, respectivamente (p < 0,001). CONCLUSÃO: O tratamento artroscópico do impacto femoroacetabular com o uso da abordagem extracapsular apresentou resultados clínicos e radiográficos satisfatórios em seguimento médio de 29,1 meses, com poucas complicações.

To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results and complications relating to patients undergoing arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement by means of an extracapsular approach. METHODS: Between January 2011 and March 2012, 49 patients (50 hips) underwent arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement, performed by the hip surgery team of the Orthopedic Hospital of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul. Forty patients (41 hips) fulfilled all the requirements for this study. The mean follow-up was 29.1 months. The patients were assessed clinically by means of the Harris Hip score, as modified by Byrd (MHHS), the Non-Arthritic Hip score (NAHS) and the internal rotation of the hip. Their hips were also evaluated radiographically, with measurement of the CE angle, dimensions of the joint space, alpha angle, neck-head index, degree of arthrosis and presence of heterotopic ossification of the hip. RESULTS: Out of the 41 hips treated, 31 (75.6%) presented good or excellent clinical results. There was a mean postoperative increase of 22.1 points for the MHHS, 21.5 for the NAHS and 16.4° for the internal rotation of the hip ( p< 0.001). Regarding the radiographic evaluation, correction to normal values was observed for the alpha angle and neck-head index, with a mean postoperative decrease of 32.9° and mean increase of 0.10, respectively ( p< 0.001). CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement by means of an extracapsular approach presented satisfactory clinical and radiographic results over a mean follow-up of 29.1 months, with few complications.
