Project description:Radiologic imaging is an essential supplement to the physical examination in the evaluation of a patient with femoroacetabular impingement. Plain radiographs are the initial modality of choice for the evaluation of bony anatomy and pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging supplements the physical examination and standard radiographs by enabling qualitative and quantitative evaluation of both articular cartilage and soft tissues about the hip. Magnetic resonance imaging also provides improved 3-dimensional characterization of the bony anatomy owing to the multiplanar nature of this technique. This article describes a comprehensive approach to interpretation of magnetic resonance examination of the hip.

Project description:ObjectivesThe objective of this study is to prospectively assess the effectiveness of shoulder magnetic resonance (MR) arthrograms with positional manoeuvres in detecting posterior synovial folds.MethodsTwo radiologists independently assessed all axial MR arthrograms in internal rotation, neutral position, and external rotation for the presence of a posterior synovial fold. The diagnostic performances of the MR arthrograms were then compared, with results validated through arthroscopy.ResultsArthroscopy was performed on 81 of the 150 patients included in the study. A posterior synovial fold was identified arthroscopically in eleven of these patients. Measurements of the posterior synovial fold obtained in external rotation and the neutral position of the arm showed a significant correlation with arthroscopic results (p < 0.05). For detecting the posterior synovial fold with arthroscopic correlation, the sensitivity and specificity values for observer 1 and observer 2 were 100-81.4% and 100-88.6%, respectively, for MR arthrograms in the neutral position; 100-52.9% and 100-62.9% for MR arthrograms in external rotation; and 100-95.7% and 81.8-98.6% for MR arthrograms in internal rotation. There was a fair agreement for MR arthrography in external rotation for detecting posterior synovial folds, while MR arthrograms in internal rotation and neutral position showed near-perfect and significant interobserver agreement.ConclusionThe rotational positions of the humeral neck during MR arthrographic examination can influence the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of axial MR arthrograms in detecting the posterior synovial fold.Clinical relevance statementThe posterior synovial fold can mimic a posterior labral detachment. Therefore, its correct identification is crucial in order to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures.Key pointsMovement of the shoulder may introduce variability in MR arthrography appearance. Rotation of the humeral neck during MR arthrography can affect diagnoses in posterior synovial fold detection. Given that posterior synovial folds can imitate posterior labral detachment, their correct identification is crucial to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures.

Project description:Indirect magnetic resonance arthrography (I-MRA) confers significant logistical advantages over direct MRA and does not require articular injection. In this study, we determined the diagnostic performance of I-MRA in relation to conventional MRI and arthroscopy or surgery in detecting tears of the glenoid labrum, including Bankart lesions and superior labral antero-posterior (SLAP) tears in a standard clinical setting.Ninety-one symptomatic patients underwent conventional MRI and I-MRA of the affected shoulder, followed by either arthroscopy or open surgery. The scans were interpreted independently by two experienced radiology consultants with a special interest in musculoskeletal radiology. Using the surgical findings as the standard of reference, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of conventional non-contrast MRI and I-MRA in the detection of labral tears were calculated.The sensitivity of I-MRA was 95 and 97 %, respectively, for two radiologists as opposed to 79 and 83 % for conventional MRI. For both radiologists, the specificity of I-MRA, as well as MRI, was 91 % for detection of labral tears of all types. Accuracy of diagnosis was 93 and 95 %, respectively, for two radiologists with indirect MRA, compared to 84 and 86 % with non-contrast MRI.This retrospective study shows that I-MRA is a highly accurate and sensitive method for the detection of labral tears. The data obtained supports the use of I-MRA as standard practice in patients with shoulder instability due to suspected labral pathology where further investigative imaging is indicated.

Project description:PurposeTo use mirror imaging to identify the location and magnitude of difference in acetabular rim morphology between the symptomatic and unaffected acetabula in patients with symptomatic unilateral pincer-type or mixed femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) using 1-dimensional models created with computed tomography (CT).MethodsCT scans of bilateral hips in 33 patients diagnosed with unilateral pincer-type or mixed FAIS were obtained. Three-dimensional bilateral hip models were constructed, and the unaffected hemipelvis was superimposed onto the symptomatic side to compare acetabular thickness. Protrusion of the symptomatic side was recorded, and rim morphology was divided into clock face quadrants to analyze the location of greatest magnitude of difference between affected and unaffected acetabula. Analysis of the quadrants was performed using analysis of variance with post hoc Bonferroni correction.ResultsThe study group consisted of more females (51.6%) than males, with an average age of 35.72 ± 7.8 years and an average body mass index of 24.3 ± 4.1 kg/m2. Of the 33 hips included, 14 were isolated pincer-type FAIS and 19 were mixed. The average preoperative symptomatic side lateral center edge angle was 37.5° ± 7.2° compared with 29° ± 5.1° on the asymptomatic side (P = .001). The symptomatic acetabular rim was on average 0.43 ± 0.18 mm thicker than the corresponding location on the unaffected rim. When the acetabulum was divided into clock face quadrants, the 12 to 3 o'clock position showed the greatest difference between symptomatic and unaffected sides (0.55 ± 0.18 mm) compared with the 3 to 6 o'clock position (0.4 ± 0.28 mm; P = .006), 6 to 9 o'clock (0.34 ± 0.07 mm; P < .001), and 9 to 12 o'clock (0.38 ± 0.03; P = .001).ConclusionsPatients with unilateral, symptomatic pincer-type or mixed FAIS show statistical differences in rim thickness between the affected and unaffected acetabula. Small changes in acetabular rim morphology on the order of ≤0.5 mm may be the difference between symptomatic FAIS and the unaffected hip.Level of evidenceIV, case series.

Project description:Hip arthroscopy has become the standard treatment for symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement as patients have shown good outcomes and high satisfaction with this intervention. However, capsular management to gain access for intra-articular procedures remains greatly debated. Capsular closure is advocated particularly in the setting of interportal or T-capsulotomy to avoid complications of instability or nonhealing capsule. We introduce a technique for capsular management through a limited periportal capsulotomy during arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. In using dilation of the anterolateral and mid-anterior portals without completion of a full interportal capsulotomy, the stabilizing iliofemoral ligament is preserved. We have found that periportal capsulotomy provides safe and sufficient access to the hip joint without necessitating capsular closure.

Project description:AimsTo compare (a) the change in radiological bony morphology between participants with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery compared to physiotherapist-led non-surgical care and (b) the change in radiological bony morphology between participants with FAI syndrome who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery involving cam resection or acetabular rim trimming or combined cam resection and acetabular rim trimming.MethodsMaximum alpha angle measurements on magnetic resonance imaging and Hip2 Norm standardized hip measurements on radiographs were recorded at baseline and at 12 months postoperatively. One-way analysis of covariance and independent T tests were conducted between participants who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery and physiotherapist-led non-surgical care. Independent T tests and analysis of variance were conducted between participants who underwent the 3 different arthroscopic hip procedures.ResultsArthroscopic hip surgery resulted in significant improvements to mean alpha angle measurements (decreased from 70.8° to 62.1°) (P value < .001, 95% CI -11.776, -4.772), lateral center edge angle (LCEA) (P value = .030, 95% CI -3.403, -0.180) and extrusion index (P value = 0.002, 95% CI 0.882, 3.968) compared to physiotherapist-led management. Mean maximum 1-year postoperative alpha angle was 59.0° (P value = .003, 95% CI 4.845, 18.768) for participants who underwent isolated cam resection. Measurements comparing the 3 different arthroscopic hip procedures only differed in total femoral head coverage (F[2,37] = 3.470, P = .042).ConclusionArthroscopic hip surgery resulted in statistically significant improvements to LCEA, extrusion index and alpha angle as compared to physiotherapist-led management. Measured outcomes between participants who underwent cam resection and/or acetabular rim trimming only differed in total femoral head coverage.

Project description:Purpose of reviewFemoroacetabular impingement is a common cause of hip pain in young patients and has been shown to progress to osteoarthritis. The purpose of this review is to better understand the development of femoroacetabular impingement.Recent findingsRecent literature shows little genetic transmission of FAI. However, molecular studies show strong similarities with the cartilage in osteoarthritis. The development of cam lesions has a strong association with sports participation, particularly at the time of physeal closure suggesting abnormal development. Lumbar, pelvis, and femoral biomechanics may also play an important role in dynamic impingement. In summary, femoroacetabular impingement is a dynamic process with many influences. Further research is needed to clarify the pathophysiology of FAI development in hopes of finding preventative options to reduce symptoms and progression to osteoarthritis.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to systematically evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) in the diagnosis of acetabular labral tears.MethodsDatabases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP were electronically searched to collect relevant studies on magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of acetabular labral tears from inception to September 1, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies by using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 tool. RevMan 5.3, Meta Disc 1.4, and Stata SE 15.0 were used to investigate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance in patients with acetabular labral tears.ResultsA total of 29 articles were included, involving 1385 participants and 1367 hips. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity, pooled specificity, pooled positive likelihood ratio, pooled negative likelihood ratio, pooled diagnostic odds ratio, area under the curve of the summary receiver operating characteristic, and Q* of MRI for diagnosing acetabular labral tears were 0.77 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75-0.80), 0.74 (95% CI, 0.68-0.80), 2.19 (95% CI, 1.76-2.73), 0.48 (95% CI, 0.36-0.65), 4.86 (95% CI, 3.44-6.86), 0.75, and 0.69, respectively. The pooled sensitivity, pooled specificity, pooled positive likelihood ratio, pooled negative likelihood ratio, pooled diagnostic odds ratio, area under the curve of the summary receiver operating characteristic, and Q* of MRA for diagnosing acetabular labral tears were 0.87 (95% CI, 0.84-0.89), 0.64 (95% CI, 0.57-0.71), 2.23 (95% CI, 1.57-3.16), 0.21 (95% CI, 0.16-0.27), 10.47 (95% CI, 7.09-15.48), 0.89, and 0.82, respectively.ConclusionMRI has high diagnostic efficacy for acetabular labral tears, and MRA has even higher diagnostic efficacy. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, the above results should be further validated.
