Background: There is a growing trend for hip arthroscopists to treat patients with borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) without addressing the acetabular coverage. However, the literature of outcomes and failure rates for these patients is conflicting. Purpose: (1) To identify whether patients with BHD achieved 2-year similar patient-reported outcome, minimal clinically important difference (MCID), and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) when compared with patients without BHD and (2) to identify predictors for achieving the MCID and PASS among patients with BHD who are undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Data from consecutive patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy with routine capsular closure for the treatment of FAIS between January 2012 and January 2017 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Patients with BHD (lateral center-edge angle [LCEA], 20°-25°) were matched 2:1 by age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) to control patients with normal acetabular coverage (LCEA, >25°-40°). Patient-reported outcome, MCID, and PASS were compared between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified significant predictors of achieving the MCID and PASS in the BHD group. Results: The MCID in the BHD group was defined as 9.2, 13.7, 8.5, and 15.2 for the Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score–Sport Specific, modified Harris Hip Score, and iHOT-12, respectively. Threshold scores for achieving the PASS in both groups were 87.9, 76.4, 78.1, and 60.0. A total of 112 patients were identified as having BHD (LCEA, 20°-25°) and were matched to 224 controls. Both groups saw statistically significant increases in score averages over the 2-year period; however, the differences between them were not statistically significant ( P > .05 for all). There was no statistical difference in the frequency of the BHD and non-BHD cohorts achieving the MCID on at least 1 threshold score (86.6% vs 85.6%, P = .837) and the PASS (78.6% vs 79.8%, P = .79). There was, however, a statistically significant difference between the rates of patients with and without BHD achieving the PASS on the modified Harris Hip Score threshold (62.5% vs 74.5%, P = .028). The final logistic models demonstrated that lower BMI (odds ratio [OR], 0.872; P = .029), lower preoperative alpha angle (OR, 0.965; P = .014), and female sex (OR, 3.647; P = .03) are independent preoperative predictors of achieving the MCID, while lower preoperative alpha angle (OR, 0.943; P = .018) and self-reported limp (OR, 18.53; P = .007) are independent preoperative predictors of achieving the PASS. Conclusion: Outcome improvements in patients with BHD who are undergoing arthroscopic treatment with capsular closure for FAIS are not significantly different from patients with normal acetabular coverage. Lower BMI, lower alpha angle, absence of limp, and female sex are preoperative predictors of achieving meaningful clinically significant outcome improvements in patients with BHD.
Background: A growing number of studies have examined return to sport in competitive athletes after undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS); however, few have evaluated the rate of achieving meaningful clinical outcomes in this group. Purpose: To determine if competitive athletes (professional, semiprofessional, or collegiate) have better 2-year patient-reported outcomes and achieve the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and substantial clinical benefit at higher rates when compared with nonathletes undergoing hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAIS. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The study was a retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients who identified as either a competitive athlete or a nonathlete and had undergone hip arthroscopy for FAIS by a single fellowship-trained surgeon between January 2012 and April 2017. Patients in the 2 groups were matched 1:2 by age, sex, and body mass index. Baseline and clinical outcomes, including the Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score–Sports Subscale (HOS-SS), modified Harris Hip Score, and international Hip Outcome Tool-12, were collected preoperatively and at 2 years postoperatively and compared between the groups. The MCID and substantial clinical benefit were calculated for each group separately and compared using chi-square analysis. Results: A total of 59 competitive athletes and 118 nonathletes were included in the final analysis. Most of the competitive athletes were soccer players (23.7%), followed by softball players (10.2%) and runners (10.2%). Postoperative score comparison between competitive athletes and nonathletes demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the HOS-SS (mean ± SD, 84.5 ± 19.0 vs 76.1 ± 23.8; P = .02). Meaningful outcome analysis demonstrated that competitive athletes had a higher rate of achieving the HOS-SS threshold for the MCID (97.4% vs 82.5%; P = .021). There was no other difference in frequency of achieving the threshold for any other meaningful clinical outcome between the groups. Conclusion: Hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAIS in competitive athletes and nonathletes produced clinically meaningful outcomes in both patient groups. However, competitive athletes achieved the MCID on the HOS-SS at higher rates than nonathletes and had significantly higher scores at 2 years postoperatively on the HOS-SS.
Background: Hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in patients with borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) is becoming a more common practice. However, the literature on achieving meaningful outcomes at midterm follow-up, as well as predictors of these outcomes, is limited. Purpose: To (1) compare the rates of achieving meaningful clinical outcomes between patients with and without BHD and (2) identify the predictors for achieving clinical success among patients with BHD 5 years after undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery for FAIS. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Data from consecutive patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopic surgery with routine capsular closure for the treatment of FAIS between January 2012 and August 2014 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Patients with BHD (lateral center-edge angle [LCEA] 20°-25°) were matched 1:2 by age (±1 year) and body mass index (BMI; ±5 kg/m2) to control patients with normal acetabular coverage (LCEA 25°-40°). Data collected included baseline and 5-year postoperative patient-reported outcomes. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) were calculated for each patient-reported outcome measure and compared between the 2 groups. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify significant predictors of achieving the MCID and PASS in the BHD group. Results: The MCID in the BHD group was defined as 9.6, 14.1, and 9.5 for the Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score–Sports Subscale, and modified Harris Hip Score, respectively. Threshold scores for achieving the PASS in both groups were 90.9, 76.6, and 81.9, respectively. A total of 88 patients were identified with having BHD and were matched to 176 controls. No statistical differences were identified for age, BMI, or sex. Both the BHD and the non-BHD groups had statistically significant increases in patient-reported outcome scores over the 5-year period, but the difference in both groups was not statistically significant ( P > .05 for all). There was no statistical difference in the frequency of patients in the BHD and non-BHD groups achieving the MCID (86.6% vs 85.2%, respectively; P = .804) or PASS (76.0% vs 73.7%, respectively; P = .675) on at least 1 outcome measure. The logistic regression model demonstrated that being physically active (odds ratio [OR], 27.59; P = .005) and being female (OR, 14.64; P = .025) were independent predictors of achieving the MCID, while running (OR, 11.1; P = .002), being female (OR, 7.6; P = .011), and a larger preoperative LCEA (OR, 2.3; P = .001) were independent preoperative predictors of achieving the PASS. Conclusion: The rates of achieving clinical success 5 years after undergoing arthroscopic treatment with capsular closure for FAIS were not significantly different between patients with BHD and those with normal acetabular coverage. Being physically active, running for exercise, female sex, and a larger LCEA were preoperative predictors of achieving clinical success at 5 years in patients with BHD.
Background: Previous meta-analyses have demonstrated superior outcomes in patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) compared with meniscectomy. However, these analyses have considered only short- or midterm outcomes and low-quality evidence. Purpose: To compare the mid- to long-term rates of radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) between repair and meniscectomy for MMPRT. Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid/MEDLINE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were queried for articles evaluating repair and meniscectomy for MMPRT. Articles were eligible if they had a minimum mean 4-year follow-up for radiographic OA or conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and were at least level 3 evidence. Radiographic OA was assessed using Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) progression. Rates of conversion to TKA and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores were also extracted. DerSimonian-Laird binary random-effects models were created to evaluate differences in radiographic OA and TKA conversion rates, with odds ratios (ORs) representing pooled estimates. Continuous random-effects models with standardized mean differences (SMDs) were used to compare postoperative IKDC scores. Results: Repair and meniscectomy cohorts were followed for a mean of 64.8 months and 62.5 months, respectively, for KL progression; and 82.8 months and 73.8 months, respectively, for TKA rates and IKDC scores. Overall, 59 of 144 (41%) patients undergoing surgical intervention for MMPRT demonstrated OA progression; 18 of 82 (22%) who underwent repair for MMPRT exhibited OA progression compared with 41 of 62 (66%) who underwent meniscectomy (OR, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.03-0.83; P = .029). Overall, 30 of 143 (21%) patients converted to TKA; 9.8% (8/82) of patients who underwent repair converted to TKA (range, 47-131 months), while 36% (22/61) who underwent meniscectomy converted to TKA (range, 17.8-101 months) (OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.05-0.44; P < .001). No significant differences between postoperative IKDC scores were observed (SMD, 0.51; 95% CI, -0.02 to 1.05; P = .06). Conclusion: Medial meniscus posterior root repair results in significantly lower rates of radiographic OA progression and conversion to TKA at >60-month follow-up. On the basis of these findings, we recommend consideration of repair of MMPRTs when degenerative changes are not severe, as it can yield improved outcomes.
