Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) continues to rise in incidence, and thus there is an increased focus on factors that predict patient outcomes. The factors that impact the outcomes of arthroscopic FAIS treatment are complex. The purpose of this review is to outline the current literature concerning predictors of patient outcomes for arthroscopic treatment of FAIS. RECENT FINDINGS Multiple studies have shown that various patient demographics, joint parameters, and surgical techniques are all correlated with postoperative outcomes after arthroscopic FAIS surgery, as measured by both validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores and rates of revision surgery including hip arthroplasty. To accurately predict patient outcomes for arthroscopic FAIS surgery, consideration should be directed toward preoperative patient-specific factors and intraoperative technical factors. The future of accurately selecting patient predictors for outcomes will only improve with increased data, improved techniques, and technological advancement.

A High Incidence of Perineal Post-Related Complications After Hip Arthroscopy Is Self-Reported by Patients in Anonymous Online Forums. Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2024; 6:100854. [PMID: 38169826 PMCID: PMC10759173 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmr.2023.100854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate online, self-reported pudendal nerve or perineal injuries related to the use of a perineal post during hip arthroscopy. Methods Public posts on Reddit and the Health Organization for Pudendal Education were searched to identify anonymous individuals reporting symptoms of pudendal nerve or perineal injury following hip arthroscopy. Included posts were by any individual with a self-reported history of hip arthroscopy who developed symptoms of pudendal nerve injury or damage to the perineal soft tissues. Demographic information and details about a person's symptoms and concerns were collected from each post. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results Twenty-three online posts reported on a perineal post-related complication following hip arthroscopy. Sex information was available in 16 (70%) posts (8 male, 8 female). Twenty-two posts reported a sensory injury, and 4 posts reported a motor injury with sexual consequences (sexual dysfunction, dyspareunia, impotence). Symptom duration was available in 15 (65%) posts (8 temporary, 7 permanent). Permanent symptoms included paresthesia of the perineum or genitals (7) and sexual complaints (5). Two posts stated they were counseled preoperatively about the possibility of this injury. Zero patients reported that a postless hip arthroscopy alternative was an option made available to them before surgery. Conclusions A high incidence of permanent pudendal nerve, perineal skin, and genitourinary/sexual complications are self-reported and discussed online by patients who have undergone post-assisted hip arthroscopy. These patients report being uninformed and undereducated about the possibility of sustaining a post-related complication. No patient reported being informed of postless hip arthroscopy preoperatively. Clinical Relevance Identifying and evaluating self-reported patient information in online medical forums can provide important information about patient experiences and outcomes.

Abstract
Background.Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique most commonly performed to correct femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The number of hip arthroscopy performed in Russia is unknown. Information about this surgical technique is also very limited in our country.The aim of the study was to assess the level of hip arthroscopy in Russia.Methods.A sociological survey of orthopaedic surgeon with experience in performing hip arthroscopy was conducted. The questionnaire was posted on the Google Forms platform. The survey included 54 surgeons from Russian clinics, 45 people filled out the questionnaire.Results.The majority of specialists (73,30,06%) were trained in hip arthroscopy. More than half of the respondents (68,80,06%) are currently engaged in this surgical area, however, in 45,160,07% of them, the number of operations does not exceed 5 per year. For surgeons who have completed two or more training courses, the volume of operations performed is higher (p0,05). 51,110,07% of doctors perform arthroscopy using an alternative technique. There are 2,5 time more specialists doing just bone resection, than surgeons who apply any kind of reconstruction technique while treating FAI (p0,05). Fifteen respondents (48,390,08%) perform debridement as an attempt to delay arthroplasty. The most common difficulties faced by surgeon are problems with the diagnosis of FAI (400,02%), lack of the necessary tools (400,02%) and sufficient time to master the technique (33,30,07%). Only three (6,60,07%) respondents believed to achieve planned results, 93,30,03% of surgeons said that it is not always possible to achieve the desired outcomes.Conclusion. Hip arthroscopy in Russia is not very common, the volume of such interventions is insignificant. Doctors not skilled in arthroscopic hip surgery predominate. Factors impeding the development of this area in our country are related to teaching methods, FAI diagnostics, the lack of necessary instruments for performing operations, and the lack of time for specialists to master surgical techniques.

Evaluating the Need for Preoperative MRI Before Primary Hip Arthroscopy in Patients 40 Years and Younger With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Multicenter Comparative Analysis. Orthop J Sports Med 2023; 11:23259671221144776.

Abstract
Background Routine hip magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before arthroscopy for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) offers questionable clinical benefit, delays surgery, and wastes resources. Purpose To assess the clinical utility of preoperative hip MRI for patients aged ≤40 years who were undergoing primary hip arthroscopy and who had a history, physical examination findings, and radiographs concordant with FAIS. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Included were 1391 patients (mean age, 25.8 years; 63% female; mean body mass index, 25.6) who underwent hip arthroscopy between August 2015 and December 2021 by 1 of 4 fellowship-trained hip surgeons from 4 referral centers. Inclusion criteria were FAIS, primary surgery, and age ≤40 years. Exclusion criteria were MRI contraindication, reattempt of nonoperative management, and concomitant periacetabular osteotomy. Patients were stratified into those who were evaluated with preoperative MRI versus those without MRI. Those without MRI received an MRI before surgery without deviation from the established surgical plan. All preoperative MRI scans were compared with the office evaluation and intraoperative findings to assess agreement. Time from office to arthroscopy and/or MRI was recorded. MRI costs were calculated. Results Of the study patients, 322 were not evaluated with MRI and 1069 were. MRI did not alter surgical or interoperative plans. Both groups had MRI findings demonstrating anterosuperior labral tears treated intraoperatively (99.8% repair, 0.2% debridement, and 0% reconstruction). Compared with patients who were evaluated with MRI and waited 63.0 ± 34.6 days, patients who were not evaluated with MRI underwent surgery 6.5 ± 18.7 days after preoperative MRI. MRI delayed surgery by 24.0 ± 5.3 days and cost a mean $2262 per patient. Conclusion Preoperative MRI did not alter indications for primary hip arthroscopy in patients aged ≤40 years with a history, physical examination findings, and radiographs concordant with FAIS. Rather, MRI delayed surgery and wasted resources. Routine hip MRI acquisition for the younger population with primary FAIS with a typical presentation should be challenged.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Clinical outcomes in arthroscopic hip preservation surgery have improved over the past two decades due to many factors, including advancements in technique and instrumentation. Complications following hip arthroscopy are associated with increased traction and overall surgical times. The purpose of this study was to compare traction and surgical times during hip arthroscopy using two different radiofrequency ablation wands produced by the same manufacturer. The authors hypothesized that the wand with a larger surface area would result in significantly less traction and surgical times. This study was a retrospective comparative investigation on patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery of the central, peripheral, peritrochanteric and/or deep gluteal space compartments of the hip. Both wands are 50-degree-angled probes, but the tip and shaft diameters are 3 and 3.75 mm for Wand A (Ambient Super MultiVac 50; tip surface area 7.1 mm2) compared to 4.7 and 4.7 mm for Wand B (Ambient HipVac 50; tip surface area 17.3 mm2), respectively. There was no difference (P = 0.16) in mean age of Wand A patients (30 females, 20 males; 35.2 years) versus Wand B patients (31 females, 19 males; 32.7 years). Traction time was significantly less in the Wand B group (41 ± 6 versus 51 ± 18 min; P < 0.001), as was surgical time (102 ± 13 versus 118 ± 17 min; P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the number of labral anchors used or Current Procedural Terminology codes performed between groups. In conclusion, it was observed that the use of a larger surface area wand was associated with significantly less traction and surgical times during hip arthroscopy.

Harris JD. Editorial Commentary: Virtual Reality Simulation Can Help Arthroscopic Hip Preservation Surgeons at All Levels of Training and Practice-This is How. Arthroscopy 2021; 37:1867-1871.

Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) simulation has enormous potential utility in technically demanding manual activities. Hip arthroscopy is a perfect example of a challenging surgical technique with an extensive learning curve. The literature has recently consistently demonstrated that both career and annual maintenance case volume significantly influences patient-reported outcomes and risk of revision surgery and complications. Current residency and fellowship programs do not sufficiently prepare trainees to meet or exceed experience thresholds, so augmentation of training is necessary. A significant strength of VR simulation includes its ability to practice without limits. Unfortunately, hip models are limited to simple tasks, without full surgery models yet available simulating routine arthroscopic hip preservation procedures like labral repair, cam and pincer correction, capsular repair. Advanced techniques like labral reconstruction or augmentation, protrusio acetabulae, extensive cam morphology, revision surgery, peritrochanteric space endoscopy, and deep gluteal space endoscopy are not yet available for simulation. VR simulation can probably achieve competence for most, if not all, surgeons; possibly achieve proficiency; and unlikely to achieve mastery. The use of machine learning and artificial intelligence can process vast quantities of photo and video data to generate high-fidelity, lifelike surgical simulation. The near future will incorporate and assimilate these technologies cost-effectively for training programs and surgeons. Our patients will benefit.
