Surgical treatment of femoroacetabular impingement in a patient with Stickler syndrome: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Stickler syndrome is a multisystem connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in collagen genes that can present with craniofacial, ocular, audial, or skeletal abnormalities. Here, we report on a male patient with a COL2A1 missense mutation (c.647G>A; p.Gly216Asp). He complained of an out-toeing gait and restricted hip mobility. Radiographs showed broad and elongated femoral necks with coxa valga. An alpha angle of 119° and 96° for his left and right femur, respectively, and almost no femoral head-neck offset, suggested a femoroacetabular impingement. Considering the patient's unwillingness to receive a total hip replacement for his Tönnis grade 2 hips, we intended to establish impingement-free hips by causing minimizing trauma. Therefore, we performed an osteochondroplasty of f
