Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of capsular management during arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears, comparing outcomes between closed (CC) and open capsule (OC) techniques.* -
- A total of 86 patients participated, with both groups showing significant improvement in hip function scores post-surgery, although the CC group demonstrated greater enhancements over time, particularly at 2 and 5 years.* -
- Ultimately, the results indicate that using a closed capsule approach in arthroscopic procedures may lead to better functional outcomes compared to an open capsule approach, although the overall reoperation rates were similar for both methods.*
Purpose: Radiological evaluation of the repair tissue produced after arthroscopic treatment of acetabular chondral lesions associated with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) by the chitosan-based scaffold.
Methods: Patients of age 18-55 years with clinical and radiological features of FAI and non-arthritic non-dysplastic hips were selected for arthroscopic treatment. Full-thickness acetabular chondral defects were filled with chitosan-based scaffold material after microfracture.
Purpose: To evaluate the functional outcome of using chitosan-based material in our patients after 2 years of follow-up.
Methods: Nonarthritic nondysplastic femoroacetabular impingement patients with an acetabular chondral lesion, 18 to 55 years of age, were included for arthroscopic repair between May 2013 and July 2015. Full-thickness chondral defects ≥2 cm were filled with chitosan-based implant after microfractures.
