Purpose: To describe the diagnosis and 2-year outcomes of arthroscopic treatment for labral calcification in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed from a prospectively collected database of patients with FAIS undergoing hip arthroscopy. Patients with FAIS with labral calcification were differentiated radiographically from patients with other paralabral radiopaque densities such as os acetabuli, acetabular rim fractures, and labral ossification. Patients with FAIS with labral calcification were treated with arthroscopic calcification excision, labral repair, and osteoplasty and matched by age, sex, and body mass index with a cohort of patients with FAIS without labral calcifications who underwent labral repair and osteoplasty. Pre- and 2 years postoperatively, patients completed patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores including the modified Harris Hip Score, Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), 12-item Short-Form survey, and visual analog scale.
Results: In total, 40 hips (21 male, 19 female) with FAIS and labral calcification were included (age 36.8 ± 8.1, body mass index, 25.9 ± 4.5). Patients with FAIS with labral calcification demonstrated similar significant PRO score improvements compared with a matched cohort of patients with FAIS without labral calcification at 2 years after surgery (visual analog scale: (-)2.3 ± 0.4, (-)2.7 ± 0.5, modified Harris Hip Score: 16.1 ± 2.6, 17.1 ± 3.2; HOOS symptoms: 21.9 ± 3.7, 18.6 ± 3.6; HOOS pain: 22.1 ± 3.0, 25.0 ± 3.5; HOOS activities of daily living: 20.2 ± 2.8, 23.8 ± 3.3; HOOS sport: 35.6 ± 5.0, 35.6 ± 4.1; HOOS quality of life: 36.9 ± 4.5, 37.5 ± 4.4; 12-item Short-Form survey physical component summary: 15.5 ± 2.3, 20.1 ± 2.1, respectively). Both cohorts achieved minimal clinically important differences at equivalent rates (60%-82.5%) for all PRO scores.
Conclusions: Patients with labral calcification in the setting of FAIS can be effectively treated with arthroscopic calcification excision, labral repair, and osteoplasty. These patients demonstrate significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes and achievement of minimal clinically important differences at 2 years similar to patients undergoing arthroscopic treatment for FAIS without labral calcification.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, matched cohort study.

Shoulder pathology on advanced imaging in asymptomatic non-athlete individuals: A narrative review.

The prevalence of asymptomatic shoulder pathology has been shown to be high on both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The most common shoulder pathologies identified in asymptomatic, non-athlete individuals include rotator cuff pathology, acromioclavicular (AC) joint pathology, labral tears, subacromial bursitis, and calcific tendinitis. The data in the current literature suggest that asymptomatic rotator cuff tears are diagnosed on ultrasound and MRI at high rates, suggesting that rotator cuff tears may be considered an age-related, normal, degenerative change.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of 4 different types of acetabular rim ossifications, including partial labral ossification or punctate calcification, true os acetabuli, acetabular rim stress fracture, and complete labral ossification, and to determine whether different types of periacetabular ossifications are linked to demographic or radiological factors.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medial records of patients presenting for hip-related complaints at 2 sports medicine practices from September 2007 to December 2009. An anteroposterior radiograph of both hips and a lateral radiograph of each hip was obtained for all patients and reviewed for findings of cam and pincer femoroacetabular impingement, degenerative changes (Tönnis grade), and periacetabular calcifications for both hips.

Over the last decade, evidence has mounted for a prominent etiologic role of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in the development of early hip osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this study was to compare the ultrastructure and tissue composition of the hip labrum in healthy and pathological conditions, as FAI and OA, to provide understanding of structural changes which might be helpful in the future to design targeted therapies and improve treatment indications. We analyzed labral tissue samples from five healthy multi-organ donors (MCDs) (median age, 38 years), five FAI patients (median age, 37 years) and five late-stage OA patients undergoing total hip replacement (median age, 56 years).

Labral calcification may be part of the natural history of untreated femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in certain patients, making it a potential target for intervention with the goal of preserving the hip joint. The purpose of this study was to investigate if calcified labra create the appearance of lateral joint space narrowing and report minimum 2-year patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after treating patients with arthroscopic acetabuloplasty and labral reconstruction. Prospectively collected data on patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS and labral tearing from February 2015 to April 2021 were reviewed.
