Background:
The amount of patients referred with longstanding, non-arthritic
hip pain is increasing. Hip arthroscopy (HA) can be considered the gold standard
in treating intraarticular pathologies of the hip not related to hip dysplasia, ac-
etabular retroversion or osteoarthritis.
Purpose / Aim of Study:
In this prospective, cohort study all patients under-
going HA with labral rapair were followed 3 and 12 months after surgery. The
purpose of this study was to document the clinical outcome using a standard-
ized clinical algorithm for patient selection
Materials and Methods:
From January 2014 to July 2015 39 consecutive
patients (19 males, 20 females), average age 35yr (m) and 37yr (f) underwent
HA with labral repair. Contraindication for HA was osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia
and total acetabular retroversion. The patients were followed prospectively fill-
ing out the Copenhagen hip and groin score (HAGOS) with its 6 subdomains
symptoms, pain, function in daily living (ADL), function in sport and recreation
(Sports/Rec), participation in physical activities (PA) and hip and/or groin- re-
lated quality of life (QOL). pre- operatively and again 3 and 12 months after
surgery. The data was analyzed in SPSS using paired t-test.
Findings / Results:
Both 3 and 12 months after HA with labral repair clinically
and statistically significant improvements could be seen in all subdomains of the
HAGOS, compared with the preoperative baseline.
Conclusions:
Using a standardized clinical algorithm for patient selection we
could show significant improvement after hip arthroscopy with labral repair both
3 and 12 months after surgery.
