AI Article Synopsis

  • MRI is the preferred imaging method for diagnosing hip and pelvis disorders, especially when standard X-rays don’t provide clear results.
  • Quality imaging includes high-resolution pictures of the affected hip and the entire pelvis.
  • Techniques like MR arthrography help assess joint conditions, and MRI findings guide prognosis and treatment choices for patients.

Article Abstract

MRI is the diagnostic imaging modality of choice for most disorders of the hip and pelvis in the setting of nondiagnostic plain radiographs. Quality images of the entire pelvis with high-resolution images of the affected hip are recommended. Intravenous gadolinium is administered in cases of suspected soft-tissue or bone infection. MR arthrography enables assessment of the joint space and the acetabular labrum. With MRI, the radiologist has the ability to stage pathological conditions of the hip and pelvis in such a way as to determine prognosis and influence therapeutic decisions.

Purpose: Pelvic and hip motion are pivotal in maintaining postural control and energy efficient gait. An insight into influence of age and gender on the coupled motion of hip and pelvis in gait-cycle will guide clinical rehabilitation strategies and pertinent technology-design for specific age-groups. Therefore, present study evaluated pelvic and hip-joint gait kinematics in healthy females and males across adult-hood.

Background: Inconsistencies in the workup of labral tears in the hip have been shown to result in a delay in treatment and an increased cost to the medical system.

Purpose: To establish consensus statements among Canadian nonoperative/operative sports medicine physicians via a modified Delphi process on the diagnosis, nonoperative and operative management, and rehabilitation and return to play (RTP) of those with labral tears in the hip.

Study Design: A consensus statement.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is frequently treated arthroscopically with osteoplasty and labral repair. Surgical preferences vary in terms of equipment, technique, and postoperative protocol. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are valuable tools to assess outcomes across different institutions.

Background: Ice hockey players have a high rate of hip pathology, which can lead to hip arthroscopy. Previous studies have not utilized team-based advanced performance statistics in the setting of hip arthroscopy in National Hockey League (NHL) players.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to use team-based advanced performance statistics to evaluate postoperative performance after hip arthroscopy in NHL players in comparison with their preoperative performance and matched controls of uninjured skaters.
