Hip Arthroscopy
Use of IV tranexamic acid may not improve visual field clarity during hip arthroscopy
Results of a study showed administration of IV tranexamic acid within 15 minutes of incision did not significantly improve surgeons’ visual field clarity during hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.
Labral, capsular repair may reduce conversion to THA after primary hip arthroscopy
DENVER — Results presented here showed labral and capsular repair during primary hip arthroscopy may reduce reoperations and conversions to total hip arthroplasty at long-term follow-up.
Cam over-resection more common than under-resection in failed hip arthroscopy
DENVER — Results presented here showed cam over-resection has become more than twice as common as cam under-resection among patients presenting for failed hip arthroscopy.
Comparable hip arthroscopy results seen in patients with vs. without borderline dysplasia
Results showed patients with borderline hip dysplasia who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement had comparable patient-reported outcomes at 10-year follow-up to patients without borderline hip dysplasia.
Hip arthroscopy with capsular repair yielded high rates of survivorship at 10 years
Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy with capsular repair for femoroacetabular impingement had high rates of survivorship at 10 years, according to published results.
VIDEO: Arthroscopic iliopsoas fractional lengthening may be preferred vs. revision THA
BOSTON — In this video from the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting, Mario Hevesi, MD, PhD, discussed arthroscopic lengthening of the iliopsoas tendon following total hip arthroplasty for patients with tendonitis.
Hip arthroscopy outcomes at 6 months may correlate with outcomes at 10 years
BOSTON — Patient outcome scores 6 months after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement were significantly associated with 10-year outcomes and conversion to total hip arthroplasty, according to presented results.
VIDEO: Hip preservation surgery with or without osteotomy showed high return to sport rate
BOSTON — In this video from the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting, Jacob L. Henrichsen, MD, discussed hip preservation surgery with or without osteotomy for young patients looking to return to sport.
Arthroscopy may favorably alter natural history of OA in patients with hip impingement
Published results showed arthroscopic correction was associated with favorable outcomes for patients with femoroacetabular impingement despite a similar progression of osteoarthritis vs. patients who received nonoperative treatment.
Hip dysplasia in athletes may not affect outcomes of arthroscopy for impingement
According to published results, hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement yielded similar 2-year outcomes for flexibility sport athletes with vs. without borderline hip dysplasia.
