Platelet-Rich Plasma Augmentation of Arthroscopic Hip Surgery for Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Prospective Study With 24-Month Follow-up.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical and immunologic effects of intra-articular doses of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in arthroscopic hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement.

Methods: Preoperatively, patients were randomized either to receive an intra-articular injection of PRP (group I, n = 30) or not to receive PRP (group II, n = 27) at the end of hip arthroscopic surgery. To evaluate the clinical outcome and follow-up, we used the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) 3, 6, and 24 months after surgery.

Unusual bilateral rim fracture in femoroacetabular impingement.

This is a report of one case of bilateral acetabular rim fracture in association with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), which was treated with a hip arthroscopic procedure, performing a partial resection, a labral reinsertion, and a subsequential internal fixation with cannulated screws. Up to date, there are in the literature only two reports of rim fracture and "os acetabuli" in association with FAI. In the case we present, the pincer and cam resection were performed without complications; the technique used was published previously.

Total hip arthroplasty for congenital dysplasia or dislocation of the hip. Survivorship analysis and long-term results.

Two hundred and thirty-two total hip replacements with cement were performed between 1965 and 1987 in 190 patients who had osteoarthrosis secondary to acetabular dysplasia resulting from congenital dysplasia or dislocation of the hip. Forty-nine patients (fifty hips) who died or who did not have at least three years of clinical and radiographic follow-up were excluded; therefore, the study comprised 141 patients (182 hips), 125 of whom were women and sixteen of whom were men. The mean age at the time of the operation was 42.
