Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome(FAI) for patients over 50 years old,and explore the occurrence regularity and treating rules for such a disease.Methods The clinical data of 71 patients(78 hips with FAI) over 50 years old who underwent arthroscopic treatment for FAI in our department between May 2012 and May 2017 were studied retrospectively.Physical examination,X-ray and CT 3D scans were made preoperatively for explicit diagnosis.The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 66 months,with an average of 31.78 ± 18.07 months.Every patient had a joint space greater than 2 mm,and a grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ hip osteoarthrosis according to the Trnnis scale.Under the hip arthroscopy the synovial hyperplasia was cleaned,the damaged labrum and cartilage were repaired,and the femoroacetabular hyperplasia and the impingement factors were removed to restore the normal shape of femoroacetabular.The joint clearance,changes ofthe alpha angle when at Dunn position and centre edge(CE) angle at normotopia on the X-ray,the intraoperative injuries of cartilages and glenoid labrum and surgical satisfaction and complications were measured and recorded.The modified Harris hip score(mHHS) and visual analogue scale(VAS) were used to evaluate the hip function recovery and pain relief of patients.Results The average age of the patients was 55.15 ± 5.02 years old,ranging from 50 to 69.Among the 23 males and 48 females,there were 33 left hips with FAI and 45 right hips with FAI.The average preoperative joint clearance was 4.81 ± 0.87 mm,and all incisions were healed by first intention after the treatment.The average α angle of the patients decreased from 50.11 ± 4.75 to 42.72 ± 4.7 degrees after the treatment,with the α angle of 7 patients(8.97％) bigger than 55 degree,and that of 40 patients(51.28％) smaller than 50 degree.The average CE angle decreased from 36.54 ± 9.14 degrees to 35.19 ± 8.55 degrees after the treatment,with that of 27 patients(34.62％) bigger than 40 degrees.Before the treatment,the main clinical manifestations were hip pain and swelling,including 36 cases(46.15％) with hip joint lock,70 (89.74％) with groin tenderness.Moreover,75 cases(96.15％) were positive in hip adduction internal rotation test(FADIR) and 64 cases(83.33％) were positive in the hip abduction and external rotation impingement test.However,the pain was relieved or disappeared after the treatment.The average VAS score decreased significantly from preoperative 4.42 ± 1.42 points to 1.31 ± 1.28 at the last follow-up,while the average mHHS score increased significantly from preoperative(52.4 ± 19.38) points to(81.72 ± 10.82) during the last follow-up,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Significant improvement was observed in the mHHs and VAS scores of 89％ patients(P＜0.01).1 patient(1.28％) underwent hip replacement during the follow-up period.No serious complications occurred.Conclusion In most cases,arthroscopic treatment of FAI in old patients(over 50 years old),who were with osteoarthrosis and hip labrum injury,can significantly improve the joint function and relieve pain.It is a treatment with safety.
