<h4>Background</h4>The epiphyseal tubercle, the corresponding metaphyseal fossa, and peripheral cupping are key stabilizers of the femoral head-neck junction. Abnormal development of these features in the setting of supraphysiologic physeal stress under high forces (for example, forces that occur during sports activity) may result in a cam morphology. Although most previous studies on cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) have mainly focused on overgrowth of the peripheral cupping, little ...[more]

Project description:Arthroscopic osteochondroplasty has become the most common treatment for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. However, gauging the appropriate depth and location of the femoral osteochondroplasty remains challenging, given the parallax observed from using a 70° arthroscope across multiple viewing perspectives. Consequently, reliable techniques must use a combination of arthroscopic and fluoroscopic checks and balances to assess the femoral head-neck junction to help guide bony resection. We have developed a technique for osteochondroplasty that has made the process more efficient and reliable in our hands. It involves creating a trough at the apex of the osteochondroplasty and then contouring the proximal and distal regions to re-create normal proximal femoral geometry. This article details our technique for femoral osteochondroplasty, which can be performed alone for isolated cam impingement or in concert with other intra- and extra-articular procedures to address associated hip pathology.

Project description:Hip arthroscopy and femoral osteochondroplasty are commonly used in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Determining the correct resection depth of the femoral head-neck cam lesion intraoperatively can be challenging. Both inadequate resection and over-resection may result in complications, underlying the importance of using a consistent and accurate technique when resecting and reshaping the proximal femur. Osseous resection to a depth of the subchondral cortical-cancellous bone margin in individuals with FAI has been shown to restore proximal femoral anatomy to within submillimeter differences when compared with control subjects without FAI. This bony boundary may be used as an intraoperative guide to consistently achieve appropriate resection depth. The sclerotic margin indicating the extent of the cam-type deformity can be evaluated with preoperative radiographs and recreated fluoroscopically, giving the surgeon a reliable intraoperative template. In addition, changes in clinical appearance during arthroscopy, particularly identification of the underlying trabecular structure at the cortical-cancellous border during resection, provides a visible, reliable intraoperative guide to resection depth.

Project description:Femoral retroversion is an uncommon cause of cam femoroacetabular impingement that may require surgical treatment beyond arthroscopic or open femoroplasty. We present the case of a young adult with bilateral severe femoral retroversion in whom such treatment failed. We discuss the rationale, surgical technique, and outcome of this patient, who underwent bilateral closed intramedullary derotational proximal femoral osteotomies and interlocked nailing with adjunctive pre- and post-osteotomy hip arthroscopies. Clinical improvement with normal foot progression angles, radiographic union, and resolution of bilateral cam femoroacetabular impingement from femoral retroversion was achieved. This surgery permits rapid institution of weight-bearing ambulation and an early rehabilitative program. Femoral retroversion may be an underappreciated and insufficiently treated cause of cam femoroacetabular impingement that may be readily detected and successfully remedied with this less invasive procedure.

Project description:Hip arthroscopy is one of the most rapidly growing fields in orthopaedic surgery. One of the most frequent pathologies treated with hip arthroscopy remains femoroacetabular impingement, which is addressed by labral repair and femoral osteoplasty. The most commonly cited reason for failure of arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement is under-resection of the cam lesion. Surgeons frequently use evaluations of preoperative images, intraoperative fluoroscopy, and dynamic range of motion to ensure adequate resection. In this article, we describe a reproducible and standardized technique to assist in appropriate resection. This is achieved by a 2-tiered resection technique: Tier 1 aims to set the depth of resection and restore the head-neck offset. Tier 2 then matches the depth of the resection set by tier 1 and allows for retention of appropriate transition of the proximal convexity to the distal concavity seen in more ideally shaped femoral heads. With this technique, we offer a tool to avoid under-resection in the area of maximal conflict while simultaneously minimizing the risk of proximal over-resection and thus compromising the fluid seal dynamics of the joint in deeper flexion angles.

Project description:Acetabular dysplasia is a hip condition characterized by abnormal development of the acetabulum, which can be present from birth or develop during childhood and may persist into adulthood. Mild or borderline acetabular dysplasia frequently is associated with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement in adults. Over time, the association of impingement and abnormal contact can lead to hip pain, cartilage damage, labral tears, and an increased risk of developing hip osteoarthritis. Several surgical treatments have been proposed: arthroscopic capsular plication, periacetabular osteotomy, or shelf acetabuloplasty. As mini-invasive shelf acetabuloplasty procedure has already proven its effectiveness, an arthroscopic shelf acetabuloplasty represents a less-invasive, less-risky procedure and allows during the same procedure to perform intra-articular resection of the femoral cam, labrum repair and capsular plication. This Technical Note describes an original technique of arthroscopic shelf acetabuloplasty that combines an outside-in arthroscopic approach for the intra-articular procedure (labral repair, femoroplasty, capsular plication) and an endoscopic shelf acetabulopasty with a tricortical iliac crest autograft secure with a single cannulated screw.

Project description:BackgroundThe cam deformity causes the anterosuperior femoral head to obstruct with the acetabulum, resulting in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and elevated risks of early osteoarthritis. Several finite element models have simulated adverse loading conditions due to cam FAI, to better understand the relationship between mechanical stresses and cartilage degeneration. Our purpose was to conduct a systematic review and examine the previous finite element models and simulations that examined hip joint stresses due to cam FAI.MethodsThe systematic review was conducted to identify those finite element studies of cam-type FAI. The review conformed to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and studies that reported hip joint contact pressures or stresses were included in the quantitative synthesis.ResultsNine articles studied FAI morphologies using finite element methods and were included in the qualitative synthesis. Four articles specifically examined contact pressures and stresses due to cam FAI and were included in the quantitative synthesis. The studies demonstrated that cam FAI resulted in substantially elevated contact pressures (median = 10.4 MPa, range = 8.5-12.2 MPa) and von Mises stresses (median 15.5 MPa, range = 15.0-16.0 MPa) at the acetabular cartilage; and elevated maximum-shear stress on the bone (median = 15.2 MPa, range = 14.3-16.0 MPa), in comparison with control hips, during large amplitudes of hip motions. Many studies implemented or adapted idealized, ball-and-cup, parametric models to predict stresses, along with homogeneous bone material properties and in vivo instrumented prostheses loading data.ConclusionThe formulation of a robust subject-specific FE model, to delineate the pathomechanisms of FAI, remains an ongoing challenge. The available literature provides clear insight into the estimated stresses due to the cam deformity and provides an assessment of its risks leading to early joint degeneration.

Project description:Femoral neck osteoplasty is an integral component for successful treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. Current techniques allow this to be performed arthroscopically, and results are equivalent to those of open procedures when typical anterior and anterosuperior lesions are considered. The arthroscopic procedure is dependent on obtaining adequate visualization through capsular management and proper leg positioning, and it requires fluoroscopy to guide and verify an adequate resection. We present our preferred technique for arthroscopic femoral neck osteoplasty.

Project description:BackgroundPeople with femoroacetabular with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) often report pain during sports involving repeated sprinting. It remains unclear how sports participation influences running biomechanics in individuals with FAIS.HypothesisChanges in running biomechanics and/or isometric hip strength after repeated sprint exercise would be greatest in individuals with FAIS compared with asymptomatic individuals with (CAM) and without cam morphology (Control).Study designControlled laboratory study.Level of evidenceLevel 3.MethodsThree-dimensional hip biomechanics during maximal running (10 m) and hip strength were measured in 49 recreationally active individuals (FAIS = 15; CAM = 16; Control = 18) before and after repeated sprint exercise performed on a nonmotorized treadmill (8-16 × 30 m). Effects of group and time were assessed for biomechanics and strength variables with repeated-measures analyses of variance. Relationships between hip pain (Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score) and changes in hip moments and strength after repeated sprint exercise were determined using Spearman's correlation coefficients (ρ).ResultsRunning speed, hip flexion angles, hip flexion and extension moments, and hip strength in all muscle groups were significantly reduced from pre to post. No significant between-group differences were observed before or after repeated sprint exercise. No significant relationships (ρ = 0.04-0.30) were observed between hip pain and changes in hip moments or strength in the FAIS group.ConclusionChanges in running biomechanics and strength after repeated sprint exercise did not differ between participants with FAIS and asymptomatic participants with and without cam morphology. Self-reported pain did not appear to influence biomechanics during running or strength after repeated sprint exercise in participants with FAIS.Clinical relevanceA short bout of repeated sprinting may not elicit changes in running biomechanics in FAIS beyond what occurs in those without symptoms. Longer duration activities or activities requiring greater hip flexion angles may better provoke pathology-related changes in running biomechanics in people with FAIS.

Project description:Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a painful and limiting condition of the hip that is often seen in young athletes. Previous studies have reported a higher prevalence of this disorder in male athletes, but data on the structural morphology of adolescent and young adult female athletes, specifically those involved in dance, are lacking.(1) To investigate the radiographic morphology of FAI deformities in adolescent and young adult female single-sport dance and nondance athletes and (2) to examine the differences in the radiographic findings between these 2 groups.Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.A retrospective chart review of 56 female single-sport athletes 10 to 21 years of age with a diagnosis of FAI within a single-sports medicine division of a pediatric academic medical center was performed. Acetabular index (AI), lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), crossover sign, and ischial spine sign were measured bilaterally on anteroposterior radiographs; alpha angle (AA) was measured on lateral films, and anterior center-edge angle (ACEA) was measured on false-profile films. Independent t tests and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare mean angle measurements between dance and nondance athletes. Dichotomized categorical variables and crossover and ischial spine signs were analyzed between dance and nondance athletes by applying a chi-square test. Statistical significance was set as P < .05 a priori.Significant differences in angle measurements were noted. AA was significantly lower in the dancers compared with the nondance athlete group (49.5° ± 6.0° vs 53.9° ± 7.3°, P = .001). The LCEA and ACEA of dance athletes were significantly greater compared with nondance athletes (33.8° ± 6.7° vs 30.9° ± 5.8° [P = .016] and 36.0° ± 8.1° vs 32.3° ± 7.0° [P = .035], respectively). No significant difference in AI was seen between the 2 cohorts (5.0° ± 4.0° for dancers vs 5.9° ± 3.4° for nondancers, P = .195).Significant differences existed in the radiographic bony morphology of young female single-sport dance athletes compared with nondance athletes with FAI. In dance athletes, symptoms were seen in the setting of normal bony morphology.

Project description:PurposeTo determine whether statistical shape modeling can detect subtle morphologic differences in the shape of the proximal femur that correlate with clinical findings of unilateral femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.MethodsPatients who had diagnoses of unilateral femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and who had existing computed tomography scans of their pelvises were included. Three-dimensional shape models in the form of triangle meshes were generated from the computed tomography images. Statistical shapes of cam-type and normal hips were compared to identify structural differences.ResultsThe study included 33 hips in 17 subjects. Of the subjects, 7 (41.1%) were male, and 10 (58.9%) were female. The subjects ranged in age from 17-60 years of age (mean 36.3 ± 11.0 years old). The statistical shape modeling found mean shapes and modes after optimizing the groupwise correspondence. Symptomatic hips demonstrated 1 mm of thickening as compared to the femoral necks of asymptomatic hips, corresponding to cam lesions.ConclusionsSymptomatic cam deformities were an average of 1 mm more prominent in the femoral neck region as compared to the asymptomatic hips when using statistical shape modeling. The present study provides a proof of the concept that statistical shape modeling can be used to examine and help define cam morphology and that subtle morphologic differences may account for developing femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.Clinical relevanceUsing the methods presented in this study, it would be possible to define cam and pincer morphologies by creating statistical shape models, and this work could potentially lead to the development of a new classification system for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome lesions.
