The most common indication is for the treatment of FAI (femoral acetabular impingement) [5] and its associated pathologies such as labral tears [6] and cartilage abnormalities, [7] among others (see Table 1). Table 1. A selection of hip conditions that may be treated arthroscopically.
The primary aim of surgery is to correct the fit of the femoral head and acetabulum to create a hip socket that reduces contact between the two, allowing a greater range of movement. [30] This includes femoral head sculpting and/or trimming of the acetabular rim. [30] [31] Surgery may be arthroscopic or open. [7]
The applicability of these methods to severe or widespread labral damage is less than ideal. Since then, surgeons have reported on a variety of graft choices and surgical techniques, and an arthroscopic approach has usurped open dislocation, due to fewer complications, a lower need for revision surgery and quicker recovery time. [9] [10]
[1] Osteotomy is one method to relieve pain of arthritis, especially of the hip and knee. It is being replaced by joint replacement in the older patient. [2] Due to the serious nature of this procedure, recovery may be extensive. Careful consultation with a physician is important in order to ensure proper planning during a recovery phase.
In this case the tangent line touches the anterior rim of the acetabulum. Values under 20° indicate undercoverage of the femoral head. [3] The sciatic spine and posterior wall signs are other signs associated with acetabular retroversion. The first one is considered positive when the sciatic spine is projected medial to the iliopectineal line ...
Protrusio acetabuli is an uncommon defect of the acetabulum, the socket that receives the femoral head to make the hip joint. The hip bone of the pelvic bone/girdle is composed of three bones, the ilium, the ischium and the pubis. In protrusio deformity, there is medial displacement of the femoral head in that the medial aspect of the femoral ...
The risk for Native Americans is about 25–50 in 1000. The overall frequency of developmental dysplasia of the hip is approximately 1 case per 1000 individuals; however, Barlow believed that the incidence of hip instability in newborns can be as high as 1 case for every 60 newborns, [59] with the rate dropping to 1:240 at one week. [60]
Over time, there is a decreasing trend of percentage patency (likelihood a vessel will remain open) in popliteal bypass surgery, 88% in the first year, 79% and 76% at 3 and 5 years respectively. [13] Environmental conditions and overall patient health may also affect the patency of the graft.
