Investigators found favorable early outcomes for patients with central acetabular osteophytes who underwent central acetabular decompression during hip arthroscopy.
Researchers prospectively collected data for 49 patients who underwent central acetabular decompression (CAD) during a hip arthroscopy. Investigators chose a matched control group of 147 patients without central acetabular osteophytes (CAO) who did not undergo CAD. The modified Harris Hip score (mHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome score for activities of daily living (HOS-ADL), Hip Outcomes score sport-specific subscale (HOS-SSS) and VAS were assessed preoperatively and at 3 months, 1 year and 2 years postoperatively. Investigators also collected data on patient satisfaction.
At the 2-year follow-up, patients who underwent CAD had a mean change in mHHS, HOS-ADL, HOS-SSS, NAHS and VAS of 11, 19.6, 15.2, 21.4 and -2, respectively. The mean change in scores for control group was 17, 19.8, 24, 20.9 and -2.75, respectively, for these measures. Investigators noted the improvements seen in patient-reported outcomes were statistically significant when compared to preoperative scores.
According to researchers, the groups were not statistically significantly different with regard to patient-reported outcomes and VAS scores. At the most recent follow-up, patients who underwent CAD had a patient satisfaction score of 7.14, while it was 7.60 for patients in the control group. ‒ by Monica Jaramillo
