[Arthroscopically assisted minimally invasive symphysioplasty for the treatment of pubic related groin pain].

Objective: Therapy of pubic related groin pain via minimally invasive symphysioplasty.

Indications: Therapy of refractory pubic related groin pain based on osteitis pubis.

Contraindications: Groin pain from causes other than pubic related groin pain.

Labral reconstruction with tendon allograft: histological findings show revascularization at 8 weeks from implantation.

This description shows the histological findings of a peroneus brevis tendon allograft used for labral reconstruction, implanted 8 weeks before being retrieved due to a postoperative complication unrelated to the graft. As far as we have knowledge this is the first description about revascularization of an allograft used for hip labral reconstruction. The histological report of the removed peroneus brevis tendon allograft shows evidence of vascular ingrowth represented by small vessels with a thin muscular wall in all layers of the graft and cellular migration mainly represented by mature fibroblasts.

Reconstruction of Massive Posterior Nonrepairable Acetabular Labral Tears With Peroneus Brevis Tendon Allograft: Arthroscopy-Assisted Mini-Open Approach.

Many of the described labral-reconstruction procedures are purely arthroscopic. This approach only allows segmentary reconstructions. For more extensive reconstructions, surgical dislocation of the hip still represents the more suitable approach.

Reconstruction of nonrepairable acetabular labral tears with allografts: mid-term results.

Background: Many labral tears are nonrepairable. For these cases, labral reconstruction procedures may be considered in order to restore the joint fluid seal and prolong hip longevity.

Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and functional outcomes of a series of cases with nonrepairable labral tears that underwent labral reconstruction with tendon allografts.

Mini-open approach for femoroacetabular impingement: 10 years experience and evolved indications.

Introduction: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been proposed as a possible cause of early osteoarthritis of the hip. The treatment of this condition and its related lesions can be performed by 3 methods: surgical dislocation of the hip; pure arthroscopic; and anterior mini-open technique with or without arthroscopic assistance.

Methods: We describe the anterior mini-open technique and report our experience over the last decade in the treatment of FAI and different associated pathologies of the hip.

Arthroscopic assisted mini-open approach of the hip: Early multicentric experience.

Background: Surgical treatment of femoroacetabular impingement is becoming accepted worldwide, owing to improvements in clinical results and quality of life. In addition to treatment by surgical dislocation or arthroscopy, arthroscopic assisted mini-open approach was postulated to treat this pathology.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze early results of the first consecutive 72 cases of femoroacetabular impingement treated using the arthroscopic assisted mini-open approach in two different centers by two surgeons trained by a senior surgeon experienced in the technique.

Hip resurfacing arthroplasty: mid-term results in 486 cases and current indication in our institution.

In the previous decade, metal-on-metal hip resurfacing has been considered an attractive option and theoretically advantageous over conventional total hip arthroplasty, especially in young active patients. Different authors have reported favourable mid-term clinical and functional results with acceptable survival rates. Proper indication and planning, as accurate technical execution have been advocated to be crucial elements for success.

Clinical results after anterior mini-open approach for femoroacetabular impingement in early degenerative stage.

We describe our modified anterior mini-invasive technique and results obtained in our first consecutive 117 cases in 105 patients. To assess the influence of preoperative Tönnis degenerative stage, cases were divided into group A (Tönnis 0, 32 hips), B (Tönnis 1, 61 hips), and C (Tönnis 2, 24 hips). The clinical score Dexeus combined score (DCS) was used preoperatively, 3 months, 6 months, and every year after operation.
