Hip shelf acetabuloplasty in borderline dysplasia, an alternative between Periacetabular Osteotomy and arthroscopic procedures.

Purpose: Surgical treatments for symptomatic borderline dysplastic hips (Lateral Center-Edge Angle: LCEA 18-25°) remain challenging, instability being the primary issue. Currently, treatment options include arthroscopic procedures or peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO). Although the popularity of the acetabular shelf bone block has declined in favor of PAO, it may still be relevant as a hip joint stabilizer and coverage area, rather than for increasing coverage area by cartilage.

Radiological signs of femoroacetabular impingement are linked to pelvic version in asymptomatic subjects.

Introduction: With the recent interest in hip-spine relationship, the link between femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and the lumbar-pelvic-femoral complex (LPFC) appears decisive. The objectives of this study were (1) to compare the pelvic version, as well as (2) all the parameters of the LPFC between two populations of healthy subjects, comparing those with radiological signs of FAI to those without and finally, (3) to evaluate the LPFC parameters according to the type of FAI.

Hypothesis: Asymptomatic subjects with radiological signs of FAI had superior pelvic anteversion.

The influence of the sacral slope on pelvic kinematics and clinical manifestations in femoroacetabular impingement.

Introduction: The radiological study of the sagittal alignment of the spine in static and dynamic positions has allowed a better understanding of the clinical results of total hip prostheses. According to the Roussouly classification, the sacral slope in a standing position characterizes the patient with a stiff spine (less than 35̊) or a flexible spine (greater than 35̊). The objectives of this study were to compare, in a population of patients operated on for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), firstly, the kinematics of the lumbar-pelvic-femoral complex and secondly, the clinical presentation depending on whether the spine is stiff or flexible.

What happens to endoscopic/arthroscopic tenotomies with iliopsoas impingement in the medium term? Review of a prospective cohort of 64 patients with a minimum follow-up of 5 years.

Introduction: The occurrence of iliopsoas impingement (IPI) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a proven risk factor for negative outcomes. Endoscopic or arthroscopic tenotomies of the iliopsoas offer a surgical solution with short-term results that have already been validated in prospective multicenter series. We carried out a review of the patients at more than 5 years of follow-up in order to assess the stability of the results over time.

Labral tears in hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement: A systematic review.

Introduction: Hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement are pathologies whose impact on the function and survival of the hip joint is no longer debated. Labral tears may be present and impact the prognosis of the causal pathology. Labral tear management lacks consensus and still raises several questions, thus we conducted a systematic analysis to clarify: 1) What is its prevalence in hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement? 2) Does it modify the symptomatology of the causal pathology? 3) Is its repair better than resection or abstention?

Material And Method: A systematic literature review was carried out following the PRISMA guidelines, using the Medline and Embase databases and including all articles in French or English, written until June 2022 referring to labral tears in hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement.

Proximal femoral anatomy and collared stems in hip arthroplasty: is a single collar size sufficient?

Background: Even if the benefits of collars are unclear, they remain widely used, in several femoral stem designs. This study aimed to determine whether collar size should be proportional to hip dimensions and morphology. The hypothesis was that the collar should be larger for greater stem sizes and for varus femoral necks.

Hip pain from impingement and dysplasia in patients aged 20-50 years. Workup and role for reconstruction.

In the 20-50-year age group, hip pain usually indicates dysplasia. Chronic mechanical pain is the usual pattern, although acute pain caused by avulsion or degeneration of the labrum may occur. The morphological characteristics of the dysplastic hip should be evaluated, and the link between the dysplasia and the osteoarthritis should be confirmed.

Can rotation osteotomy remain effective for more than ten years?

Trochanteric rotation osteotomies displace the necrotic zone of the femoral head outside the major acetabular weight-bearing zone and rotate the head anteriorly or posteriorly. Nineteen consecutive patients were selected for rotation osteotomy based on age,absence of progressive disease, and preoperative imaging studies predicting that rotation osteotomy would move the entire necrotic zone away from the acetabular roof. Factors associated with failure were head flattening and necrosis deeper than one third of the femoral head diameter.
