Femoroacetabular Impingement

Tranexamic acid decreases postoperative pain, swelling, drainage output, joint aspirations and hemarthrosis in patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery, with no increase in complications or operative time, results showed.

Use of a machine learning algorithm may predict clinically relevant sports-specific improvements in athletes with femoroacetabular impingement undergoing hip arthroscopy, according to published results.

With successful and durable outcomes at 5 years, nonoperative management is an option for most adolescent patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, according to a pediatric sports medicine surgeon.

Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome had improved squat performance and sagittal plane range of motion after hip arthroscopy, according to results presented at the Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting.

Certain patient demographics and outcomes, as well as pathology, may independently predict risk of total hip arthroplasty, reoperation and persistent symptoms after femoroacetabular impingement surgery, according to results.

Marathoners have minimal abductor muscle atrophy and CAM impingement after marathons, however marathon running has no negative impact on the pelvis and hip joints and muscles, according to presented results.

Patients with femoroacetabular impingement who had arthroscopic surgery saw better short-term results compared with patients who had only physical therapy, according to data published in the Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery.

Published results showed patients with femoroacetabular impingement had statistically and clinically significant short-term improvements in hip pain, function and quality of life when treated with either hip arthroscopy or physical therapy.

Published results showed MRI may be an accurate tool in measuring hip labral width in patients with femoroacetabular impingement, with strong agreement between radiologic and arthroscopic measurements, as well as no significant differences between MRI modalities.

PHOENIX — Adolescent athletes with a smaller tubercle and larger fossa may experience physeal instability which could lead to cam-type femoroacetabular impingement, according to results presented at the Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting.
