AI Article Synopsis

  • - The evaluation and treatment of hip pain in adolescents and young adults have advanced significantly, particularly regarding common issues like labral tears linked to bony abnormalities.
  • - Conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and acetabular dysplasia are now recognized as major contributors to hip osteoarthritis, with early treatment aimed at reducing symptoms and extending hip health.
  • - A multidisciplinary, team-based approach to managing hip disorders in this age group has proven effective, emphasizing the need for expert conservative management techniques like physical therapy alongside surgical and postoperative care.

Article Abstract

The evaluation and treatment of adolescents and young adults with hip pain has seen tremendous growth over the past 20 years. Labral tears are well established as a common cause of hip pain but often occur because of underlying bony abnormalities. Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and acetabular dysplasia are now well-established causes of hip osteoarthritis and are increasingly treated in the prearthritic stage in hopes of improving symptoms and prolonging the longevity of the native hip. Beyond FAI and acetabular dysplasia, this patient population can present with a complex and variable group of underlying conditions that need to be taken into account. Expertise in the conservative management of this population, including physical therapy, is valuable to maximize the success. Preoperative, surgical, and postoperative decision-making and care in this population is complex and evolving. A comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the care of this patient population has been used for over 20 years by our institution with great success. The purpose of this article is to review the "team-based approach" necessary for successful management of the spectrum of adolescent and young adult hip disorders.

The Pediatric Hip Physical Exam.

Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med

January 2025

UCSF Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, 500 Parnassus Ave, MU 320W, San Fransciso, CA, 94143, USA.

Purpose Of Review: Atraumatic hip pain in children is one of the most common orthopaedic complaints in this population. This review details the important elements of the pediatric hip physical exam and provides an overview of pertinent clinical exam findings in specific diagnoses of common pediatric hip pathology.

Recent Findings: A thorough physical exam is critical for the diagnosis of pediatric hip pathology, as many conditions have exam findings that are very commonly associated with the pathology, if not pathognomonic for the disorder.

Pseudotumors are defined as exuberant non-neoplastic inflammatory masses. This condition can be associated with hip and knee arthroplasty but has not been reported in Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA). This paper reports a pseudotumor that formed following TAA, highlighting its clinical presentation, management, and histopathology.

: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), defined by the malalignment of the femoral head and acetabulum, is a major precursor to coxarthrosis, posing substantial challenges during total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients with coxarthrosis secondary to DDH often exhibit acetabular bone insufficiency, which makes challenging surgical reconstruction difficult. This study aimed to compare the radiologic and functional outcomes of robotically assisted and conventional manual THA techniques in patients with coxarthrosis secondary to Crowe type III-IV DDH.

: The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a novel ultrasound-guided regional technique that may provide analgesia to patients undergoing hip surgery. It has been extensively studied in recent years, but the evidence of superiority over other regional anaesthetic techniques is inconclusive. This review aimed to compare outcomes of the PENG block in patients undergoing hip surgery with standard techniques under general anaesthesia.

Sandwiched Strut Allografts with Stem Retention to Treat Fragile Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures: A Case Report.

Medicina (Kaunas)

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Chosun University Hospital, 365 Pilmundae-ro, Dong-gu, Gwangju 61453, Republic of Korea.

Managing periprosthetic femoral fractures is challenging, particularly in osteoporotic patients with fragile bones. Revision with a long stem is commonly considered but may fail to provide adequate fixation and stability in fragile bones. A novel approach using sandwiched strut allografts and controlled bone crushing with robust cable fixation can offer mechanical support and provide secondary stability to the loosened femoral stem and can be considered a treatment option for low-demand patients.
