Hip Arthroscopy is a Means, Not an End

• Restore anatomy to:

– Relieve pain

– Improve function

– Improve longevity?

CAM lesion Bump removal vs. Sphericity

Pincer lesion Rim Trimming vs. Femoral Osteoplasty

Torn labrum Repair vs. Debride vs. Reconstruct

Cartilage defects Microfracture, Repair, Rim Trim

Instability Plication, capsular shift

Dysplasia Arthroscopy vs. PAO

Approach Open vs. Arthroscopic

Early arthritis Symptomatic Relief vs. 2 Surgeries

What Should We Treat?

• Make the correct diagnosis!

Fig. 1

A list of static and dynamic mechanical factors for prearthritic hip pain. AIIS = anterior inferior iliac spine, FAI = femoroacetabular impingement, SI = sacroiliac joint, and ITB = iliotibial band.

Figure legend:

• Make the correct diagnosis

• History and Physical are critical• Understand concomitant disease (i.e.,

sports hernia, lumbar spine pathology, etc.)

• Understand that there may be a mixed picture of symptoms such as sacroillitis, peri-pelvic tendinitis, ischial or troch bursitis

What Should We Treat?

6

• Traumatic vs. Insidious– Twisting or torqueing

– Subluxation

– Dislocation, associated fracture

• Congenital / Developmental– DDH, Perthes, SCFE

• Other– Infection, PVNS, Osteonecrosis, Synovial

Chondromatosis

History

7

Confirming the source of pain

• History

– Is it predominately lateral or posterior?

– Or is it in the groin?

– Pain and/or numbness going down the leg?

• History

– Can you push on it and make it hurt?

– Does your hip make noise?

– When it pops, does it hurt?


• History – What causes the

pain?–Twisting

–Running

–Prolonged sitting– Plane rides/ long car

rides

–Walking uphill

–Getting in/out of car

–Achy night pain?


• Where does it hurt?

• C-sign


• Intra-articular etiologies

• Many patients don’t follow the textbook– Combined back and

groin pain

– Troch and groin pain

– Butt and groin pain

– Groin pain but negative anterior impingement sign

– Achy night pain

Inspection: Postural Analysis (Static)

Shoulder to Foot Symmetry

Inspection: Dynamic

• Sport performance• Standing single leg

Range of Motion: Supine/Prone

• Assess ranges:– Flexion

– Extension

– ROTATION prone and supine at 90 deg flexion

• Knee / Lumbar

• Diagnostic injections

– Can be very helpful

– Consider using corticosteroid, not just lidocaine/marcaine


• Diagnostic injections– Inject other

potential sources of pain if clinically warranted

– Iliopsoas

– Troch bursa

– Piriformis

– SI joint

– Spine


•It’s the hip…now what?

•In non-arthritic hips most common source of pain is labral pathology secondary to FAI

Acetabular Labrum• Extends the

acetabulum beyond the bony socket

• Is present around the entire lunate surface of the acetabulum

• Is continuous with the transverse acetabular ligament inferiorly

Femoroacetabular Impingement

• Wenger et al. showed that 87% of patients with labral tears had underlying structural abnormalities (Wenger et al. CORR 2004)

• Ganz and colleagues introduced the concept of Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) as a cause of hip pain, labral tears, and early osteoarthritis(Ganz et al. CORR 2003)

Pincer ImpingementPincer Impingement• Overcoverage of the acetabulum on the femoral headOvercoverage of the acetabulum on the femoral head

• Global or localGlobal or local

Rationale

1. Directly address the offending pathology causing impingement in pincer-type or mixed pincer-cam-type FAI

2. Protect from further impingement damaged labrum which has been repaired/reconstructed.

3. Resect areas of grade IV chondral damage

• Pre Operative PlanningPre Operative Planning– Know your goalsKnow your goals

– Focal resection for Focal resection for retroversion or general retroversion or general decompression for coxa decompression for coxa profunda profunda

– Measure LCEA, Acetabular Measure LCEA, Acetabular Inclination Angle and femoral Inclination Angle and femoral neck-shaft angle from AP pelvisneck-shaft angle from AP pelvis

– Measure ACEA from false Measure ACEA from false profileprofile

– Be cognizant of significant Be cognizant of significant femoral anteversionfemoral anteversion

Operative TreatmentOperative Treatment

• Pincer Bony ResectionPincer Bony Resection– Philippon, Wolff et al. Philippon, Wolff et al. Arthroscopy Arthroscopy

20102010– Change in the CE angle could be

determined by the following formula: Change in CE angle = 2.2 + (0.2 x [rim reduction in millimeters]).

– General rule: General rule:

The CEA decreases 2 degrees for The CEA decreases 2 degrees for every mm of bone resectedevery mm of bone resected

– Bottom line:Bottom line:– Don’t over-resect acetabular rimDon’t over-resect acetabular rim– Be cautious if CEA<30Be cautious if CEA<30

– Especially if acetabular Especially if acetabular inclination level is >10inclination level is >10

• If you take it off . . . – PUT IT BACK

• Beware small labrum (anterior zone)

• Beware DYSPLASIA!

• If it’s torn traumatically . . . – More rare– Fix when you can– Remove what you

must– Think “hoop fibers”

– No segmental resection

Post-op care

• Crutch-aided walking for 2-3 weeks

• PT x approx 12 weeks

• Return to full activities 3-6 months

Post-operative Principles

• Properly done post-operative rehab is crucial


• Commonly seen problems– Hip flexor tendonitis

– Avoid active hip flexion and hip flexor strengthening for as long as possible

– Anterior hip capsule contracture– Early stretching gentle stretching can help– At 6 week mark, if motion not progressing

will have patients spend minimum of 10 minutes daily in prone FABER position getly pressing pelvis to floor


• Commonly seen problems

– Limp– Patients should remain on crutches until

they are able to walk with normal gait

– Emphasize normal gait pattern – heel to toe with achievement of terminal stance and hip extension for toe off of involved.


• Soft tissue mobilization and stretching– Scar massage at week 2– Initial soft tissue massage gently at

weeks 1-2-- iliopsoas, rectus femoris, adductors gluteus medius and piriformis.

– Progress to more aggressive soft tissue work at week 4 if needed

– active release, dry needling, Graston techniques can be very helpful


• Aquatic Therapy

– Can be a very useful adjunct

– Not mandatory

– Can begin at 2 weeks post-op


• Can see full post-op protocol and aquatic therapy protocol at: www.andrewwolffmd.com

• Protocol is in evolution. Suggestions welcome.
