AI Article Synopsis
- Hip microinstability is a type of hip problem that can cause pain in young adults without arthritis.
- The study looked at patients who had hip surgery to see how much force was needed to move the hip bone properly.
- It found that people with this instability needed less force to move their hip compared to those with other hip issues.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Hip microinstability has emerged as a contributor to young adult, non-arthritic hip pain. There is a paucity of objective clinical data to identify patients with hip microinstability and guide surgical treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of distractibility in patients with and without microinstability undergoing hip arthroscopy.
Methods: A single-surgeon series of hip arthroscopies were retrospectively reviewed from 2014-2020. All procedures were performed with paralysis on a fracture table with a perineal post where 1 turn of fine traction equates to 4 mm of axial traction. Diagnosis was recorded as isolated instability, instability plus femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and isolated FAI. Operative reports were reviewed to collect patient demographic data, number of turns of traction required for adequate distraction of the femoral head relative to the acetabulum (10 mm), and the presence of residual subluxation after initial traction was released.
Results: A total of 464 patients were identified, 26 (5.6%) with isolated microinstability, 183 (39.4%) with microinstability with FAI anatomy, and 255 (55.0%) with FAI. The concurrent diagnosis of microinstability was associated with decreased turns required to adequately distract the hip. Isolated microinstability patients required 6.9 turns (IQR 4.6-8.8) while those with instability plus FAI required 8.8 turns (IQR 6.5-11) and isolated FAI required 19.1 turns (IQR 15-22). Residual subluxation after removal of negative intra-articular pressure but before performing the hip arthroscopy was more commonly associated with instability, occurring in 84.6% of isolated instability and 86.9% of instability plus FAI as compared with 29.8% in the isolated FAI cohort.
Conclusion: A diagnosis of hip microinstability, with or without features of FAI, is associated with decreased axial traction required to distract the hip. These data support the use of intra-operative ease of distraction as a method of identifying patients with hip microinstability.
Level Of Evidence: Level III.

Background: Whereas uncomplicated labral tears with preserved fibers can be effectively treated with use of labral repair techniques, complex tears and hypoplastic labra require labral reconstruction. Standard reconstruction techniques feature grafted tissue that is added to existing, deficient tissue or that is utilized to replace a hypoplastic labrum entirely. However, such approaches utilizing allografts or remote autografts are limited because they often necessitate extensive debridement of the existing labrum to prepare a site for graft implantation, an approach that can damage and devascularize the chondrolabral junction.

Background: Acetabular labral tear morphology or orientation may influence hip stability.
Hypothesis: A radial tear of the acetabular labrum would result in greater rotational and translational motion compared with a chondrolabral separation.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

The iliopsoas muscle plays an essential role in lumbopelvic and hip anterior stability, which is particularly important in the presence of limited osseous acetabular coverage anteriorly as in hip dysplasia and/or hip micro-instability. The purpose of this systematic review is to (1) describe iliopsoas activation levels during common rehabilitation exercises and (2) provide an evidence-based exercise progression for strengthening the iliopsoas based on electromyography (EMG) studies. In total, 109 healthy adult participants ranging from ages 20 to 40 were included in nine studies.

Purpose Of Review: Non-arthritic hip pain is a common presentation among the general population, with many possible contributing etiologies. While radiographs, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are all within the standard diagnostic workup, ultrasonography has emerged as a facile tool given its low cost, lack of radiation, and dynamic application. This article reviews the utility of ultrasound (US) in evaluation of non-arthritic hip pain and its ability to detect pathology both statically and dynamically in comparison and as an adjunct to standard imaging modalities.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on hip microinstability, a condition that's tough to diagnose due to a lack of clear criteria, and aims to evaluate the prevalence and accuracy of various imaging findings using X-rays and MRIs.
- Researchers compared imaging results from 224 hips (112 with microinstability and 112 without) that had undergone arthroscopic surgery, assessing different morphological features that might indicate microinstability.
- Four significant predictors for microinstability were identified: labral hyperplasia and a decreased lateral center edge angle on MRI, along with the absence of specific signs on X-rays; however, many other imaging parameters previously thought to be related were not actually associated with the condition.
