Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of hip arthroscopy on improving the cross-sectional kinematics of the lower limbs in patients with femoral acetabular impingement (FAI).Methods:Eight FAI patients who underwent hip arthroscopy in the Department of Sports Medicine of Peking University Third Hospital from October 2021 to February 2022 were prospectively included, including 3 males and 5 females, with an age of 35.3±13.0 years (range 17-53 years), height of 168.0±12.8 cm (range 154-192 cm), weight of 61.1±8.5 kg (range 52-74 kg) and body mass index of 21.7±2.6 kg/m 2 (range 17.6-24.5 kg/m 2). There were 3 left hips and 5 right hips. FADIR (flexion, adduction and internal rotation test) was positive in all patients and FABER (flexion, abduction and external rotation test) was positive in 4 patients. Modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) of the affected hip joint were compared before the surgery and at the follow-up of 10 months. By using a markerless motion capture system, foot progression angles during normal gait, double-leg squat, forward lunge, single-leg standing and stepping in place were measured and compared before the surgery and at the follow-up of 10 months postoperative results. Results:All the 8 patients underwent the surgery successfully and were followed up for 11.0±1.2 months. The mHHS scores before the surgery and at the follow-up of 10 months were 60.9±20.5 vs. 82.9±7.3 with significant difference ( t=-3.07, P=0.018). The iHOT-12 scores before the surgery and at the follow-up of 10 months for the affected hips were 51.4±23.7 vs. 79.2±14.6 with significant difference ( t=-3.76, P=0.007). The VAS scores before the surgery and at the follow-up of 10 months were 4.6±2.3 vs. 1.5±0.9 with significant difference ( t=3.16, P=0.016). There was no significant difference in foot progression angle between the healthy side and the affected side for all movement trials before the surgery and at the follow-up of 10 months ( P>0.05). During normal gait, the postoperative and preoperative foot progression angles for the healthy side and the affected side were 26.52°±5.97 vs. 34.4°±7.20° and 24.41°±3.70° vs. 30.80°±6.43°with significant reduction ( t=2.83, P=0.013; t=3.05, P=0.041). While there was no significant difference in foot progression angles for double-leg squat, forward lunge, single-leg standing and stepping in place before the surgery and at the follow-up of 10 months ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy can change the cross-sectional kinematic characteristics of the lower limbs, potentially improving the progression angle in FAI patients.
