Femoroacetabular Impingement and the Effect of Osteochondroplasty on Hip Osteoarthritis Prevention: The Pandora's Box Opening Process.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study was conducted to assess the effect of osteochondroplasty on osteoarthritis (OA) prevention, comparing radiological evolution between identical hips from the same patient who had undergone unilateral surgery.

Design

We retrospectively reviewed radiological evolution between hips with similar shape from the same patient who had undergone unilateral surgery. In all, 56 FAI patients (112 hips) with a mean age of 42.18 ± 9.16 years and had undergone unilateral arthroscopy treatment have been included. Four independent researchers measured Wiberg, Acetabular and Alpha angles, Extrusion index, and Tönnis classification preoperatively to verify that operated and non-operated hips had the same shape. OA evolution was assessed by joint space width (JSW) in 3 diffe
