Femoracetabular impingement treated with surgical hip dislocation: Short-term results. / Pinzamiento femoroacetabular tratado con luxación quirúrgica de la cadera: resultados a corto plazo.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Most of the studies available in the literature related to the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAA) with surgical hip dislocation (CLD) come from Europe and North America. This study describes the short-term results of the LQC technique for treating PFA in a cohort of Colombian patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analysed 42 cases of PFA treated with LQC from 2006 to 2018. The same orthopaedic surgeon performed all surgeries. Clinical outcome was assessed using the Merle d'Aubigné scores, while radiological assessment was performed using the Tönnis score. RESULTS: Fifteen women and 25 men were included in the study, with a mean age of 36.3 years. Two patients had bilateral symptomatic involvement. Of the 42 cases, there were 13 cam type, 11 pincer type and 18 mixed. Preoperatively, 31 hips were classified as poor and moderate, and 11 as good according to the Merle d'Aubigné scale. The preoperative Tönnis radiological classification showed grade 0 in half of the cases. The mean duration of follow-up was 24 months (12 to 37). The final postoperative Merle d'Aubigné scores classified 7 cases as poor or moderate, and 35 as good to excellent (p<0.05). The postoperative Tönnis score showed no significant variation. As complications, one patient had heterotopic ossification, and three had trochanteric nonunion requiring refixation. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the LQC technique for the treatment of patients with PFA shows satisfactory short-term results with a low complication rate. To our knowledge, this is the first report of results of the surgical procedure for hip dislocation in our region.

Deslizamientos epifisarios femorales proximales >30º: Procedimiento de Dunn modificado Evaluación anatómica y funcional en una cohorte retrospectiva

Introducción: La deformidad residual resultante de un deslizamiento epifisario femoral proximal moderado o grave conduce a osteoartritis prematura debida al choque femoroacetabular. Los objetivos del trabajo fueron evaluar la mejoría de la anatomía del fémur proximal y evaluar la función de la cadera en pacientes con deslizamiento epifisario femoral proximal >30 grados tratados con el procedimiento de Dunn modificado, a corto plazo. Materiales y Métodos: Cohorte retrospectiva de pacientes con deslizamiento epifisario femoral proximal >30 grados, tratados con luxación controlada de cadera y el procedimiento de Dunn modificado. Se evaluaron mediciones clínicas y radiológicas preoperatorias y posoperatorias, hallazgos intraoperatorios y funcionalidad con los puntajes de Harris y de DAubigne-Postel. Resultados: Trece casos, mediana de edad 12 años y mediana de seguimiento 14 meses. El ángulo de deslizamiento de Southwick preoperatorio (75 grados, RI 67-85) y posoperatorio (10 grados, RI 5-17) mostró una disminución estadísticamente significativa (p <0,001). El offset radio cabeza-cuello preoperatorio (-0,13) versus el posoperatorio (0,12) obtuvo una mejoría significativa (p 0,002). El 69,2% de los pacientes presentó daño de alguna estructura intraarticular. Los puntajes promedio de funcionalidad fueron 14,6 (muy buena mejoría) y 83,4 (bueno). Complicaciones: necrosis avascular 15,3% y condrólisis 15,3%. Conclusiones: Esta técnica restaura la anatomía del fémur proximal y la funcionalidad de la cadera a corto plazo. Aunque no disponemos de resultados a largo plazo, al menos en teoría, serían buenos. Sin embargo, la luxación controlada con Dunn modificado no está exenta de complicaciones y el riesgo de necrosis avascular y condrólisis persiste.(AU)

Background: The residual deformity resulting from a moderate and/or severe proximal femoral epiphysis slipping (SCFE) leads to premature osteoarthritis due to impingement. The objectives were to assess improvement in the anatomy of the proximal femur and to evaluate hip function in patients with SCFE >30° treated with the modified Dunn procedure. Methods: A retrospective cohort of patients with SCFE >30° treated with hip dislocation control and modified Dunn procedure. Preoperative and postoperative clinical and radiographic measurements, intra-operative findings and functionality using Harris and DAubigne & Postel scores were evaluated. Results: Thirteen cases, median age 12 years, median follow-up 14 months. Southwick slip angle showed a statistically significant decrease (preoperative: 75, IR 67-85; postoperative: 10, IR 5-17) (p <0.001). The head-neck offset radius obtained a significant improvement (preoperative -0.13; postoperative: 0.12) (p 0.002). The 69.2% of patients presented intraarticular damage. The average scores for functionality were 14.6 (excellent improvement) and 83.4 (good). Complications: avascular necrosis 15.3% and chondrolysis 15.3%. Conclusions: This technique restores the anatomy of the proximal femur and hip functionality in the short term. Although we do not have long-term results, at least in theory they would be good. However, the dislocation controlled with modified Dunn procedure is not free of complications and the risk of avascular necrosis and chondrolysis persists.(AU)
