Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in patients with mild or borderline hip dysplasia, highlighting the complexity around its outcomes.
- The researchers hypothesized that a higher number of radiological signs indicating hip dysplasia would negatively affect treatment results compared to signs of FAI.
- After analyzing 39 patients over a minimum of 2 years, results showed 56% had successful outcomes, 31% had moderate improvement, and 13% experienced failure, with some requiring total hip replacement.
Hip dysplasia is an important cause of osteoarthritis in young adults. For these patients, conservative treatment is an interesting alternative to arthroplasty. The current literature suggests better clinical and functional outcomes when shelf acetabuloplasty is performed for a moderate joint pinch (<50%) associated with an important external coverage defect of the acetabular cup (<25°).
