Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to identify prognostic risk factors for prolonged opioid use at 2 and 6 weeks after hip arthroscopy using data from the Femoroacetabular Impingement RandomiSed controlled Trial and its external validation cohort study. METHODS Opioids were prescribed for postoperative pain management at the surgeon's discretion, with a majority being prescribed a combination of oxycodone and paracetamol (5/325 mg). Prolonged opioid use was defined as the ongoing use of any dosage of opioids reported at either 2 or 6 weeks after surgery to treat femoroacetabular impingement, as recorded in the patient's study medication log. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to evaluate patient and surgical characteristics, such as preoperative opioid use, type of surgical procedure and intraoperative cartilage state that may be associated with prolonged opioid use at either 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS A total of 265 and 231 patients were included for analysis at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively, respectively. The median age of participants was 35 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 27-42) and 33% were female. At 2 weeks postoperatively, female sex (odds ratio [OR]: 2.56; 95% confidence interval: [CI] 1.34-4.98, p = 0.005), higher body mass index (BMI) (OR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.02-1.18, p = 0.009), active tobacco use (OR: 4.06; 95% CI: 1.90-8.97, p < 0.001), preoperative opioid use (OR: 10.1; 95% CI: 3.25-39.1, p < 0.001) and an Outerbridge classification of ≥3 (OR: 2.33; 95% CI: 1.25-4.43, p = 0.009) were significantly associated with prolonged opioid use. At 6 weeks postoperatively, only preoperative opioid use was significantly associated with prolonged opioid consumption (OR: 10.6; 95% CI: 3.60-32.6, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Preoperative opioid use was significantly associated with continued opioid use at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively. Specific patient factors including female sex, higher BMI, active tobacco use and more severe cartilage damage should be considered in developing targeted strategies to limit opioid use after surgery.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), particularly cam morphology, is highly prevalent among elite hockey athletes. Moreover, hip and groin pain has become a common issue in hockey, with approximately 50% of European professional athletes reported to experience a hip or groin problem during a season. While most athletes will not miss training or competition due to this, restricted competitive performance and increased risk of reduced physical and psychological well-being are likely. Recent research suggests that the development of cam morphology is related to the repetitive shear stresses experienced at the hip joint during adolescence from skating. This condition likely increases the potential for intra-articular and extra-articular injuries in these athletes later in their careers. Research also indicates that the hip joint mechanics during forward skating substantially increase the possibility of sustaining a labral tear compared to other sports. Such an injury can increase femoral head movement within the joint, potentially causing secondary damage to the iliofemoral ligament, ligamentum teres and joint capsule. These injuries and the high density of nociceptors in the affected structures may explain the high prevalence of hip and groin pain in hockey athletes. Compensatory adaptations, such as reduced hip strength, stability, and range-of-motion (ROM) likely increase the opportunity for core muscle injuries and hip flexor and adductor injuries. Specifically, the limited hip ROM associated with cam morphology appears to exacerbate the risk of these injuries as there will be an increase in pubic symphysis stress and transverse strain during rotational movements. It is hoped that this article will assist practitioners currently working with hockey athletes to develop evidence-informed monitoring strategies and training interventions, aimed at reducing the incidence and severity of hip and groin problems, ultimately enhancing athlete performance and well-being. Therefore, the purpose of this clinical commentary was to examine current evidence on common hip pathologies in hockey athletes, exploring potential associations between hip and groin pain and the biomechanics of hockey activities. Level of Evidence 5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An everted acetabular labrum (EL) is a pathologic variant in which the labrum is flipped to the capsular side of the acetabular rim. An iatrogenic EL is a known complication of a poorly executed labral repair, and a recent study described the native acetabular EL. PURPOSE To analyze surgical outcomes after advancement or reconstruction of an EL in a native hip. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective review of prospectively collected data on primary hip arthroscopic surgeries performed between 2013 and 2023. An EL was identified arthroscopically as a labrum-femoral head gap while off traction in the native hip. All patients with EL who were analyzed in this study underwent arthroscopic labral repair and advancement or labral augmentation or reconstruction. Patients with hip dysplasia also underwent periacetabular osteotomy with or without a derotational femoral osteotomy. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were assessed using the 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) and the Nonarthritic Hip Score. PROs were obtained preoperatively and up to 24 months after surgery. PROs were compared with those of a case-matched control cohort in a 1:2 ratio. Only patients with PROs available at ≥1 year postoperatively were included in the outcome analysis. RESULTS A total of 111 patients (129 hips) with EL during the study period were identified, with PROs available in 96 hips. The mean age of patients with EL was 30.5 years, and women made up 87% of the cohort. Of the 129 hips with an EL, an isolated diagnosis of an EL was present in 11.6% of hips. Deficient acetabular coverage (lateral center-edge angle <25°) was seen in 40.6% of EL hips. No difference was seen in iHOT-12 scores between EL and control groups at 12- or 24-month follow-up (P = .18 and .94, respectively). Patients with EL reported a significant improvement of PROs at latest follow-up (P < .001 for iHOT-12 and Nonarthritic Hip Score). CONCLUSION Surgical management of a native EL with restoration of the labral seal on the femoral head and correction of concomitant pathologies resulted in significant clinical improvement, with postoperative outcome scores comparable to those of patients without an EL. These findings provide evidence supporting surgical intervention for a native EL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The alpha angle has been widely used in the assessment of cam-type of impingement, but recent studies have shown that this angle may also be high in asymptomatic patients. The aim of this study is to report the prevalence of cam-type morphology in asymptomatic volunteers and explore its correlation with hip clinical and radiological parameters. METHODS This single-centre prospective study included 48 asymptomatic male volunteers (96 hips). All candidates fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Physical examination and 1.5 -T MRI imaging were done for bilateral hips on the same day. Alpha angle measurements were obtained from 4 different positions and cam-type morphology was considered positive using 2 different cut points >55° and >60°. Descriptive statistics were analysed and correlations were performed where appropriate and p-value < 0.05 was considered to be significant. RESULTS The prevalence of cam-type morphology using alpha angle >55° was 68.8%, 87.5%, 50% and 34.4% in the 12, 1, 2 and 3 o'clock positions respectively. While it was 38.5%, 69.8%, 26% and 12.5% in the 12, 1, 2 and 3 o'clock positions of the studied hips respectively using alpha angle >60°. The maximum alpha angle was more frequently prevalent at the 1 o'clock position in 71 (74%). Labral tear was detected in 26 (27.1%) hips and impingement test was positive in 12 (12.5%) hips. There was no correlation between the presence of cam-type morphology and range of motion of the hip, presence of positive impingement test nor labral tears. CONCLUSIONS Cam-type morphology prevalence is high among asymptomatic males, and mostly pronounced at the 1 o'clock position. A correlation between high alpha angle and positive impingement test or labral tear was not found in our cohort. Future studies are required to determine the natural history of asymptomatic cam-type morphology and risk of hip derangement.

Abstract
Aims Young adults undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) largely have different indications for surgery, preoperative function, and postoperative goals compared to a standard patient group. The aim of our study was to describe young adult THA preoperative function and quality of life, and to assess postoperative satisfaction and compare this with functional outcome measures. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis of young adults (aged < 50 years) undergoing THA between May 2018 and May 2023 in a single tertiary centre was undertaken. Median follow-up was 31 months (12 to 61). Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and focus group-designed questionnaires were distributed. Searches identified 244 cases in 225 patients. Those aged aged under 30 years represented 22.7% of the cohort. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (50; 45.5%) and Perthes' disease (15; 13.6%) were the commonest indications for THA. Results Preoperatively, of 110 patients, 19 (17.2%) were unable to work before THA, 57 (52%) required opioid analgesia, 51 (46.4%) were reliant upon walking aids, and 70 (63.6%) had sexual activity limited by their pathology. One patient required revision due to instability. Mean OHS was 39 (9 to 48). There was a significant difference between the OHS of cases where THA met expectation, compared with the OHS when it did not (satisfied: 86 (78.2%), OHS: 41.2 (36.1%) vs non-satisfied: 24 (21%), OHS: 31.6; p ≤ 0.001). Only one of the 83 patients (75.5%) who returned to premorbid levels of activity did so after 12 months. Conclusion Satisfaction rates of THA in young adults is high, albeit lower than commonly quoted figures. Young adults awaiting THA have poor function with high requirements for mobility aids, analgesia, and difficulties in working and undertaking leisure activities. The OHS provided a useful insight into patient function and was predictive of satisfaction rates, although it did not address the specific demands of young adults undertaking THA. Function at one year postoperatively is a good indication of overall outcomes.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare three-dimensional (3D) proximal femoral and acetabular surface models generated from 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to the clinical gold standard of computed tomography (CT). Ten intact fresh-frozen cadaveric hips underwent CT and 3.0T MRI scans. The CT- and MRI-based segmented models were superimposed using a validated 3D-3D registration volume-merge method to compare them. The least surface-to-surface distance between the models was calculated by a point-to-surface calculation algorithm using a custom-written program. The variables of interest were the signed and absolute surface-to-surface distance between the paired bone models. One-sample t-tests were performed using a signed and absolute test value of 0.16 mm and 0.37 mm, respectively, based on a previous study that validated 1.5T MRI bone models by comparison with CT bone models. For the femur, the average signed and absolute surface-to-surface distance was 0.18 ± 0.09 mm and 0.30 ± 0.06 mm, respectively. There was no difference in the signed surface-to-surface distance and the 0.16 mm test value (t = 0.650, p = 0.532). However, the absolute surface-to-surface difference was less than the 0.37 mm test value (t = -4.025, p = 0.003). For the acetabulum, the average signed and absolute surface-to-surface distance was -0.06 ± 0.06 mm and 0.26 ± 0.04 mm, respectively. The signed (t = -12.569, p < 0.001) and absolute (t = -8.688, p < 0.001) surface-to-surface difference were less than the 0.16 mm and 0.37 mm test values, respectively. Our data shows that 3.0T MRI bone models are more similar to CT bone models than previously validated 1.5T MRI bone models. This is likely due to the higher resolution of the 3T data.

Abstract
Introduction A patient presented for recalcitrant right hip pain secondary to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) after blunt motor vehicle trauma and following the development of a 12 cm heterotopic ossification (HO). FAI is an increasingly recognized diagnosis where the hip joint is exposed to repeated femoral microtrauma from high-level physical activity or trauma, often causing labral ossification, and perhaps underlying a similar biological mechanism to HO. Case Report In this case report, we have an otherwise healthy 49-year-old male who was involved in a high-speed motor vehicle collision who was diagnosed with right hip FAI secondary to HO (Brooker's Class IV) and indicated for surgical excision of the HO anterior to the right proximal femur. The care team and patient initially trialed non-operative conservative treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories drugs (NSAIDs) and hypothesized therapeutic success using a non-surgical approach. Surgical resection was pursued with the patient after a failure of conservative measures. The patient reported a zero out of ten on a ten-point numerical rating scale for pain, he also stated improved quality of life, satisfaction with the procedure, and subsequent rehabilitation at 1-month post-operative follow-up. Conclusion HO with near complete ankylosis of the hip joint may be causative of FAI when untreated. Although this case demonstrates a rarely studied traumatic etiology of impingement secondary to HO, initial standard conservative anti-inflammatory treatment can still be pursued. By analyzing the periarticular impact of HO secondary to non-surgical trauma, we can utilize and make inferential correlations from the literature, studying HO and impingement in the setting of prior hip surgery to guide treatment and prognosis in those presenting with FAI symptoms secondary to blunt force trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND UTE T2* cartilage mapping use in patients undergoing femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been lacking but may allow the detection of early cartilage damage. PURPOSE To assess the reproducibility of UTE T2* cartilage mapping and determine the difference in UTE T2* values between FAI and asymptomatic patients and to evaluate the correlation between UTE T2* values and patient-reported symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective evaluation of both hips (7 FAI and 7 asymptomatic patients). Bilateral hip 3-T MRI scans with UTE T2* cartilage maps were acquired. A second MRI scan was acquired 1-9 months later. Cartilage was segmented into anterosuperior, superior, and posterosuperior regions. Assessment was made of UTE T2* reproducibility (ICC). Mean UTE T2* values in patients were compared (t-tests) and correlation was made with patient-reported outcomes (Spearman's). RESULTS ICCs of mean UTE T2* were as follows: acetabular, 0.82 (95% CI=0.50-0.95); femoral, 0.76 (95% CI=0.35-0.92). Significant strong correlation was found between mean acetabular UTE T2* values and iHOT12 (ρ = -0.63) and moderate correlation with mHHS (ρ = -0.57). There was no difference in mean UTE T2* values between affected vs. non-affected FAI hips. FAI-affected hips had significantly higher values in acetabulum vs. asymptomatic patients (13.47 vs. 12.55 ms). There was no difference in mean femoral cartilage values between the FAI-affected hips vs. asymptomatic patients. The posterosuperior femoral region had a higher mean value in non-affected FAI hips vs. asymptomatic patients (12.60 vs. 11.53 ms). CONCLUSION UTE T2* cartilage mapping had excellent reproducibility. Affected FAI hips had higher mean acetabular UTE T2* values than asymptomatic patients. Severity of patient-reported symptoms correlates with UTE T2* acetabular cartilage values.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and symptomatic labral tears confers short- to midterm benefits, yet further long-term evidence is needed. Moreover, despite the physiological and biomechanical significance of the chondrolabral junction (CLJ), the clinical implications of damage to this transition zone remain understudied. PURPOSE To (1) report minimum 8-year survivorship and patient-reported outcome measures after hip arthroscopy for FAI and (2) characterize associations between outcomes and patient characteristics (age, body mass index, sex), pathological parameters (Tönnis angle, alpha angle, type of FAI, CLJ breakdown), and procedures performed (labral management, FAI treatment, microfracture). STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for symptomatic labral tears secondary to FAI by a single surgeon between 2002 and 2013. All patients were ≥18 years of age with minimum 8-year follow-up and available preoperative radiographs. The primary outcome was conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA), and secondary outcomes included revision arthroscopy, patient-reported outcome measures, and patient satisfaction. CLJ breakdown was assessed using the Beck classification. Kaplan-Meier estimates and weighted Cox regression were used to estimate 10-year survivorship (no conversion to THA) and identify risk factors associated with THA conversion. RESULTS In this study of 174 hips (50.6% female; mean age, 37.8 ± 11.2 years) with mean follow-up of 11.1 ± 2.5 years, the 10-year survivorship rate was 81.6% (95% CI, 75.9%-87.7%). Conversion to THA occurred at a mean 4.7 ± 3.8 years postoperatively. Unadjusted analyses revealed several variables significantly associated with THA conversion, including older age; higher body mass index; higher Tönnis grade; labral debridement; and advanced breakdown of the CLJ, labrum, or articular cartilage. Survivorship at 10 years was inferior in patients exhibiting severe (43.6%; 95% CI, 31.9%-59.7%) versus mild (97.9%; 95% CI, 95.1%-100%) breakdown of the CLJ (P < .001). Multivariable analysis identified worsening CLJ breakdown (weighted hazard ratio per 1-unit increase, 6.41; 95% CI, 3.11-13.24), older age (1.09; 95% CI, 1.04-1.14), and higher Tönnis grade (4.59; 95% CI, 2.13-9.90) as independent negative prognosticators (P < .001 for all). CONCLUSION Although most patients achieved favorable minimum 8-year outcomes, several pre- and intraoperative factors were associated with THA conversion; of these, worse CLJ breakdown, higher Tönnis grade, and older age were the strongest predictors.

Abstract
Hip arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that has a technically challenging nature, requiring advanced spatial skills and specialised instrumentation. The most common indication for hip arthroscopy is femoroacetabular impingement, which is increasing due to improved awareness and knowledge of the condition among healthcare professionals. Hip arthroscopy requires many different checkpoints from patient positioning to capsule closure to be successfully completed. Patient positioning is one of the keystones of hip arthroscopy and the probability of a surgeon achieving successful outcomes is significantly influenced by the establishment of optimal access points. The importance of the acetabular labrum and capsule has been better understood in recent years. There has been a noticeable preference towards prioritising acetabular labral repair over debridement or excision. Similarly, consistent with the literature, capsule closure restores naive hip biomechanics more successfully and improves functional outcomes following hip arthroscopy. Osteochondroplasty is a frequently employed therapeutic intervention; yet, attaining optimal osteochondroplasty outcomes might present challenges. The aim is, to restore the full perfect sphericity of the femoral head without attenuation of the head. The aim of this article is to highlight the knowledge accumulated from experiences based on previous hip arthroscopy surgeries as a solution for future troubleshooting steps. Level of Evidence: Level V.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the preliminary effects of movement pattern training (MoveTrain) versus strengthening/flexibility (standard) treatment on hip and pelvic biomechanics in patients with chronic hip-related groin pain. This is a secondary analysis of data collected during a pilot randomized clinical trial. Thirty patients with hip pain, between the ages of 15 and 40 years, were randomized to MoveTrain or standard. Both groups completed 10 treatment sessions over 12 weeks along with a daily home exercise program. Three-dimensional motion analysis was used to collect kinematic and kinetic data of the pelvis and hip during a single-leg squat task at pretreatment and immediately posttreatment. Compared with the standard group, the MoveTrain group demonstrated smaller hip adduction angles (P = .006) and smaller hip external adduction moments (P = .008) at posttreatment. The desired changes to hip joint biomechanics, as found in this study, may require specificity in training that could allow health care professionals to better customize the rehabilitation of patients with hip pain. These findings can also be applied to the design and implementation of future clinical trials to strengthen our understanding of the long-term implications of different rehabilitation techniques for patients with hip pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip arthroscopy is rapidly advancing, with positive published outcomes at short- and midterm follow-up; however, available long-term data remain limited. PURPOSE To evaluate outcomes of primary hip arthroscopy at a minimum 10-year follow-up at 2 academic centers by describing patient-reported outcomes and determining reoperation and total hip arthroplasty (THA) rates. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Patients with primary hip arthroscopy performed between January 1988 and April 2013 at 2 academic centers were evaluated for postoperative patient-reported outcomes-including the visual analog scale, Tegner Activity Scale score, Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living and Sport Specific subscales, modified Harris Hip Score, Nonarthritic Hip Score, 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool, surgery satisfaction, and reoperations. RESULTS A total of 294 patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy (age, 40 ± 14 years; 66% women; body mass index, 27 ± 6) were followed for 12 ± 3 years (range, 10-24 years) postoperatively. Labral debridement and repair were performed in 41% and 59% of patients, respectively. Of all patients who underwent interportal capsulotomy, 2% were extended to a T-capsulotomy, and 11% underwent capsular repair. At final follow-up, patients reported a mean visual analog scale at rest of 2 ± 2 and with use of 3 ± 3, a 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool of 68 ± 27, a Nonarthritic Hip Score of 81 ± 18, a modified Harris Hip Score of 79 ± 17, and a Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living of 82 ± 19 and Sport Specific subscale of 74 ± 25. The mean surgical satisfaction was 8.4 ± 2.4 on a 10-point scale, with 10 representing the highest level of satisfaction. In total, 96 hips (33%) underwent reoperation-including 65 hips (22%) converting to THA. THA risk factors included older age, higher body mass index, lower lateral center-edge angle, larger alpha angle, higher preoperative Tönnis grade, as well as labral debridement and capsular nonrepair (P≤ .039). Patients undergoing combined labral and capsular repair demonstrated a THA conversion rate of 3% compared with 31% for patients undergoing combined labral debridement and capsular nonrepair (P = .006). Labral repair trended toward increased 10-year THA-free survival (84% vs 77%; P = .085), while capsular repair demonstrated significantly increased 10-year THA-free survival (97% vs 79%; P = .033). CONCLUSION At a minimum 10-year follow-up, patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy demonstrated high satisfaction and acceptable outcome scores. In total, 33% of patients underwent reoperation-including 22% who underwent THA. Conversion to THA was associated with patient factors including older age, higher Tönnis grade, and potentially modifiable surgical factors such as labral debridement and capsular nonrepair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the setting of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), decompression osteoplasties reconcile deleterious loading patterns caused by cam and pincer lesions. However, native variations of spinopelvic sagittal alignment may continue to perpetuate detrimental effects on the labrum, chondrolabral junction, and articular cartilage after hip arthroscopy. PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of pelvic incidence (PI) on postoperative outcomes after hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral tears in the setting of FAI. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A retrospective query of prospectively collected data identified patients ≥18 years of age who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAI and acetabular labral tears between February 2014 and January 2022, with 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-ups. Measurements for PI, pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), and acetabular version were obtained via advanced diagnostic imaging. Patients were stratified into low-PI (<45°), moderate-PI (45°≤ PI ≤ 60°), and high-PI (>60°) cohorts. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), clinically meaningful outcomes (ie, minimal clinically important difference, Patient Acceptable Symptom State, substantial clinical benefit, and maximal outcome improvement), visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, and patient satisfaction were compared across cohorts. RESULTS A total of 74 patients met eligibility criteria and were stratified into low-PI (n = 28), moderate-PI (n = 31), and high-PI (n = 15) cohorts. Correspondingly, patients with high PI displayed significantly greater values for PT (P = .001), SS (P < .001), acetabular version (P < .001), and acetabular inclination (P = .049). By the 12- and 24-month follow-ups, the high-PI cohort was found to have significantly inferior PROMs, VAS pain scores, rates of clinically meaningful outcome achievement, and satisfaction relative to patients with moderate and/or low PI. No significant differences were found between cohorts regarding rates of revision arthroscopy, subsequent spine surgery, or conversion to total hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION After hip arthroscopy, patients with a high PI (>60°) exhibited inferior PROMs, rates of achieving clinically meaningful thresholds, and satisfaction at 12 and 24 months relative to patients with low or moderate PI. Conversely, the outcomes of patients with low PI (<45°) were found to match the trajectory of those with a neutral spinopelvic alignment (45°≤ PI ≤ 60°). These findings highlight the importance of analyzing spinopelvic parameters preoperatively to prognosticate outcomes before hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral tears and FAI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The amount of resection or the starting point of the resection on the femoral head for cam lesions in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is controversial. AIM The purpose of this study was to study the effect of postoperative resection depth, and resection arc ratio of cam lesion on the frequency of achieving substantial clinical benefit (SCB), patient acceptable state (PASS) in modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and Hip Outcome Score Activity of Daily Living (HOSADL), 2 years postoperatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients who underwent first-time hip arthroscopy for FAI with a 2-year follow-up were included in this study. Patient-reported outcomes included the mHHS, HOSADL, and visual analogue scale for pain (Pain VAS). Radiological parameters such as alpha angletraditional (αT), alpha anglecartilage (αC), resection arc ratio (% alpha anglecartilage-alpha angletraditional/360°), resection depth (''D''mm) and resection depth ratio 'D%' (D/femoral head diameter %) were measured using the 45° Dunn view. RESULTS We identified 26 patients (27 hips) with 2-year follow-up. There were 10 female and 16 male patients. The mean age of the patients was 33 ± 12 years.Higher frequency of achieving SCB threshold for mHHS was related to labrum repair (73% vs. debridement '27%' p = 0.03), lower preoperative αT (64° vs. 76°, p = 0.04), lower preoperative mHHS (54 vs. 81, p < 0.001) and higher preoperative VAS scores (8 vs. 7, p = 0.02). Higher frequency of reaching PASS threshold for mHHS was associated with lower αC (82°vs. 92° p:0.02), lower RA (8% vs. 11%, p = 0.03), lower D (2.8 mm vs. 4.5 mm p:0.03), lower D% (4.7% vs. 8.4% p = 0.04) and higher postoperative mHHS (97 vs. 82 p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A higher frequency of achieving SCB for HOSADL was related to lower D% (5% vs. 10.5%, p = 0.04).Cam resection depth affects the frequency of achieving clinically meaningful scores and resection depth less than 6% of the femoral head diameter seems to be appropriate for optimal results. The starting point of resection on head cartilage needs to be <90° when alpha angle is used for reference.

Abstract
Background The conversion rate of hip arthroscopy (HA) to total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported to be as high as 10%. Despite identifying factors that increase the risk of conversion, current studies do not stratify patients by type of arthroscopic procedure. Purpose/Hypothesis To analyze the rate and predictors of conversion to THA within 2 years after HA. It was hypothesized that osteoarthritis (OA) and increased patient age would negatively affect the survivorship of HA. Study Design Cohort study; Evidence level, 3. Methods The IBM MarketScan database was utilized to identify patients who underwent HA and converted to THA within 2 years at inpatient and outpatient facilities between 2013 and 2017. Patients were split into 3 procedure cohorts as follows: (1) femoroacetabular osteoplasty (FAO), which included treatment for femoroacetabular impingement; (2) isolated debridement; and (3) isolated labral repair. Cohort characteristics were compared using standardized differences. Conversion rates between the 3 cohorts were compared using chi-square tests. The relationship between age and conversion was assessed using linear regression. Predictors of conversion were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. The median time to conversion was estimated using Kaplan-Meier tests. Results A total of 5048 patients were identified, and the rates of conversion to THA were 12.86% for isolated debridement, 8.67% for isolated labral repair, and 6.76% for FAO (standardized difference, 0.138). The isolated labral repair cohort had the shortest median time to conversion (isolated labral repair, 10.88 months; isolated debridement, 10.98 months; and FAO, 11.9 months [P = .034). For patients >50 years, isolated debridement had the highest rate of conversion at 18.8%. The conversion rate increased linearly with age. Factors that increased the odds of conversion to THA were OA, having an isolated debridement procedure, and older patient age (P < .05). Conclusion Older patients and those with preexisting OA of the hip were at a significantly increased risk of failing HA and requiring a total hip replacement within 2 years of the index procedure. Younger patients were at low risk of requiring a conversion procedure no matter which arthroscopic procedure was performed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has proven to be an effective surgical intervention, with high rates of return to sport and work as well as favorable outcomes at short- and midterm follow-up. However, limited data exist on outcomes at long-term follow-up. PURPOSE To evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at a minimum 10-year follow-up after primary hip arthroscopic surgery including labral repair, femoral osteochondroplasty, acetabular osteochondroplasty, and capsular closure for FAIS. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopic surgery for FAIS between June 2012 and January 2013 were identified. PROs were collected preoperatively and at a minimum of 10 years postoperatively, including the Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), Hip Outcome Score-Sports Subscale (HOS-SS), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and satisfaction. Unique minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) thresholds were calculated, and their rates of achievement were analyzed. An alpha level of <.05 was used to determine statistical significance. RESULTS A total of 94 patients (55 female; mean age, 34.3 ± 12.4 years) were analyzed with a mean follow-up of 10.1 ± 0.3 years (range, 10.0-10.7 years). Patients demonstrated significant 10-year improvement across all PRO measures (P < .001). MCID and PASS thresholds were calculated as follows: HOS-ADL (10.4 and 85.3, respectively), HOS-SS (14.6 and 60.2, respectively), mHHS (8.8 and 76.0, respectively), VAS pain (14.6 and 27.5, respectively), and iHOT-12 (PASS: 71.4). The majority of patients achieved the MCID and PASS for each PRO measure: HOS-ADL (73.4% and 70.9%, respectively), HOS-SS (78.5% and 77.2%, respectively), mHHS (81.0% and 70.9%, respectively), VAS pain (88.6% and 70.9%, respectively), and iHOT-12 (PASS: 73.4%). Overall, 9 patients (9.6%) underwent subsequent revision hip arthroscopic surgery at a mean 4.9 ± 3.7 years (range, 1.1-10.1 years) postoperatively, and 6 patients (6.4%) underwent conversion to total hip arthroplasty at a mean 4.1 ± 3.1 years (range, 0.9-9.3 years) postoperatively. CONCLUSION Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopic surgery for FAIS utilizing contemporary methods of labral repair, acetabular and/or femoral osteochondroplasty, and capsular closure commonly experienced sustained clinical improvement and reported high levels of satisfaction at a minimum 10-year follow-up with low rates of reoperation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Historically, symptomatic hip labral lesions were treated with arthroscopic debridement. Hip labral repair has become the standard treatment for labral pathology; however, to date, there are limited long-term studies regarding the outcomes of isolated labral debridement. PURPOSE To (1) evaluate the long-term patient-reported outcomes of isolated labral debridement, (2) report reoperation and arthroplasty rates, and (3) identify risk factors contributing to reoperation or poor clinical outcomes. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively generated cohort of 59 hips in 57 patients from 1996 to 2010 who underwent hip arthroscopy with labral debridement was performed. Only patients with Tönnis grade <3 were included. Additionally, given the time period analyzed, resection of cam morphology was not performed, and the interportal capsulotomy was not repaired. The pre- and postoperative modified Harris Hip Score; Hip Outcome Score (HOS)-Activities of Daily Living and -Sports scores; and reoperation, conversion to total hip arthroplasty, and risk factors were analyzed. RESULTS In total, 48 hips in 47 patients (14 men, 33 women; mean age, 48.0 ± 12.9 years) met inclusion criteria and were followed for a mean of 17 ± 3 years (range, 13-27 years). The mean preoperative Tönnis grade was 1.3 ± 0.6 (range, 0-2), the mean chondral acetabular International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS) grade was 1.7 ± 1.6 (range, 0-4), the mean chondral femoral ICRS grade was 0.9 ± 1.4, and the mean acetabular labral articular cartilage grade was 2.5 ± 1.2 (range, 0-4). At the final follow-up, mean the modified Harris Hip Score, HOS-Activities of Daily Living score, and HOS-Sports score were 82.2 ± 16.6, 81.9 ± 20.5, and 82.2 ± 20.5, respectively. Nineteen hips underwent subsequent reoperation at a mean of 5.5 ± 6.2 years (range, 0.5-21.2 years) postoperatively, including 16 hips (33% overall) being converted to total hip arthroplasty. Higher acetabular ICRS chondral grades at the time of surgery were observed in patients who went on to subsequent surgery compared with those who did not (2.3 ± 1.6 vs 1.1 ± 1.5; P = .02). In reoperation-free hips, Tönnis grade demonstrated a trend of increasing over time (1.4 preoperatively vs 1.7 at radiographic follow-up; P = .08). At the final follow-up, 19 hips (40%) had undergone reoperation, and 5 additional hips (10%) were rated as "abnormal" or "severely abnormal" in function, resulting in an overall clinical failure rate of 50%. CONCLUSION Isolated labral debridement was found to result in high rates of failure and reoperation, with a third of patients being converted to arthroplasty and half of patients meeting criteria for reoperation or clinical failure. Of note, for patients remaining reoperation-free, satisfactory outcome scores were observed.

Abstract
Background Studies have correlated symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) with femoral retroversion and cam lesions. Purpose To investigate any association between femoral and acetabular versions with cam deformity in a largely asymptomatic population. Study Design Descriptive laboratory study. Methods A total of 986 cadaveric hips were selected from a historical osteologic collection. Each hip was assessed to determine the femoral and acetabular versions, anterior offset, and alpha angle. Cam morphology was defined as an alpha angle >60°. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between age, femoral version, acetabular version, and either alpha angle or anterior femoral offset. Results The mean alpha angle and anterior offset for the sample population were 48.1°± 10.4° and 0.77 ± 0.17 cm, respectively, with cam morphology in 149 of the 986 (15.1%) specimens. No significant difference was observed between hips with and without cam morphology with respect to the femoral (10.8°± 10° vs 10.3°± 9.6°; P = .58) or acetabular versions (17.4°± 6° vs 18.2°± 6.3°; P = .14). Multiple regression analysis did not demonstrate an association between the femoral or acetabular versions and the alpha angle, and it showed a small association between the increasing femoral and acetabular versions and a decreased anterior femoral offset (both P < .01). Conclusion In a large random sample of cadaveric hips, cam morphology was not associated with femoral or acetabular retroversion. Combined with the existing literature, these findings suggest that retroversion is not associated with cam development. Clinical Relevance This study provides insight into the development of cam morphology, which may eventually aid in the evaluation and treatment of FAI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The postoperative management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is variable with favourable surgical outcomes. Yet there is no evidence on the efficacy of hydrotherapy in athletes undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role and the impact of hydrotherapy on return to sports following hip arthroscopy for symptomatic FAI. METHODS 2 cohorts of mixed level of athletes from various sports: a hydrotherapy group that followed land-based exercises in combination with hydrotherapy exercises and a control group that followed solely the same land-based exercises. Pre- and postoperative pain and hip-specific outcome scores were completed, and patient satisfaction was rated. RESULTS A total of 88 hip arthroscopies were included with a minimum of 2 years follow-up; the hydrotherapy group comprised of 36 hips and the control group, 52 hips. There was a significant improvement in time to return to previous performance (HR 1.91, 95% CI, 1.21-3.01; p = 0.005) in the hydrotherapy group compared with the control. The hip-specific scores and patient satisfaction were considerably improved in the hydrotherapy group. CONCLUSIONS The analysis of our data indicates that the incorporation of hydrotherapy into postoperative rehabilitation for hip arthroscopy for FAI accelerates the return of athletes to their pre-injury performance, since recovery time decreased significantly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip arthroscopy has become the mainstay surgical intervention for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). However, postoperative outcomes and rates of secondary surgery are mixed in patients with differing levels of preoperative osteoarthritis (OA). Furthermore, there is a paucity of literature comparing patients with and without OA at long-term follow-up. PURPOSE To compare outcomes and rates of secondary surgery at minimum 10-year follow-up, including revision hip arthroscopy and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA), in patients with Tönnis grade 1 undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS compared with a propensity-matched control group of patients with Tönnis grade 0. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS between January 2012 and February 2013 were identified. Patients with Tönnis grade 1 were propensity matched in a 1:2 ratio by age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) to patients with Tönnis grade 0. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were collected at varying timepoints including preoperatively and 1, 2, 5, and 10 years postoperatively and compared between the 2 cohorts. Rates of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) achievement at 10 years were evaluated and compared between groups. Rates of secondary surgery including revision hip arthroscopy and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) were evaluated. Gross survivorship between cohorts was evaluated using a Kaplan-Meier gross survivorship curve. A subanalysis was performed comparing patients with Tönnis grade 1 who converted to THA and those who did not. RESULTS A total of 31 patients with Tönnis grade 1 (age, 42.6 ± 9.0 years; BMI, 28.0 ± 6.3) were successfully matched to 62 patients with Tönnis grade 0 (age, 42.1 ± 8.5, P = .805; BMI, 26.1 ± 3.9, P = .117). Both the Tönnis grade 1 and Tönnis grade 0 groups demonstrated significant improvements regarding all PROs at minimum 10 years (P < .05 for all), except for the Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living subscale (HOS-ADL) (P = .066) in the Tönnis grade 1 cohort. No significant difference (P > .05 for all) was noted between cohorts regarding any 10-year PRO. When the authors evaluated comparisons between preoperative and 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year PRO measures, significant differences were noted between cohorts regarding 2-year HOS-ADL (P = .021), Hip Outcome Score Sports-Specific subscale (P = .016), and modified Harris Hip Score (P = .026); otherwise, differences did not reach significance. High rates of 10-year MCID and PASS achievement were seen, with no significant differences between groups. Patients with Tönnis grade 1 had significantly higher rates of conversion to THA compared with patients who had Tönnis grade 0 (25.8% vs 4.8%; P = .006). Patients with Tönnis grade 1 had significantly lower gross survivorship compared with those who had Tönnis grade 0 (71.0% vs 85.5%, respectively; P = .04). CONCLUSION Hip arthroscopy confers comparable postoperative clinical improvements to patients who have FAIS with and without mild OA; however, the benefits among patients with mild OA may be less durable. Patients with Tönnis grade 1 had significantly higher conversion to THA and reduced gross survivorship compared with patients with no evidence of preoperative OA, suggesting that patients with evidence of OA may need to be cautioned on the higher rate of conversion surgery.

Abstract
CONTEXT Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common cause of hip pain in young adults. Flexibility athletes represent an interesting subset due to the extreme range of motion requirements of their sport. OBJECTIVE The objective of this review was to provide a summary of the outcomes of hip arthroscopy for FAIS in patients who participate in flexibility sports. DATA SOURCES Three online databases (Medline, Embase, and PubMed) were searched from database inception (1946, 1974, and 1966, respectively) to January 10, 2023. STUDY SELECTION Studies were screened for literature addressing surgical outcomes for flexibility athletes undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. DATA EXTRACTION Various patient-reported outcomes that evaluated the efficacy of hip arthroscopy in this patient population were abstracted and presented in descriptive and analytical format. Abstraction was performed by 2 reviewers. RESULTS Overall, a total of 8 Level 3 or 4 studies and 295 patients (312 hips) were included in this review. The pooled standardized mean differences for the Visual Analog Scale for pain score, Modified Harris Hip Score, Hip Outcome Score - Activity of Daily Living scale, and Hip Outcome Score - Sport-Specific Subscale all demonstrated significant improvement after undergoing arthroscopy for FAIS between 12 and 116 months (N = 175, -1.97, 95% CI -2.5 to -1.4, P < 0.01, I2 = 76%; N = 211, 1.82, 95% CI 1.49 to 2.16, P < 0.01, I2 = 52%; N = 164, 1.75, 95% CI 1.42 to 2.05, P < 0.01, I2 = 28%; N = 211, 1.71, 95% CI 1.38 to 2.04, P < 0.01, I2 = 52%, respectively). Across 289 patients, 75.6% to 98% returned to sport at a similar or higher level than presurgery. CONCLUSION This review demonstrates a trend of improvement in patient-reported pain, function, quality of life, and return to sport at a minimum of 12 months among flexibility athletes after hip arthroscopy to treat FAIS.

Abstract
Aims Research on hip biomechanics has analyzed femoroacetabular contact pressures and forces in distinct hip conditions, with different procedures, and used diverse loading and testing conditions. The aim of this scoping review was to identify and summarize the available evidence in the literature for hip contact pressures and force in cadaver and in vivo studies, and how joint loading, labral status, and femoral and acetabular morphology can affect these biomechanical parameters. Methods We used the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews for this literature search in three databases. After screening, 16 studies were included for the final analysis. Results The studies assessed different hip conditions like labrum status, the biomechanical effect of the cam, femoral version, acetabular coverage, and the effect of rim trimming. The testing and loading conditions were also quite diverse, and this disparity limits direct comparisons between the different researches. With normal anatomy the mean contact pressures ranged from 1.54 to 4.4 MPa, and the average peak contact pressures ranged from 2 to 9.3 MPa. Labral tear or resection showed an increase in contact pressures that diminished after repair or reconstruction of the labrum. Complete cam resection also decreased the contact pressure, and acetabular rim resection of 6 mm increased the contact pressure at the acetabular base. Conclusion To date there is no standardized methodology to access hip contact biomechanics in hip arthroscopy, or with the preservation of the periarticular soft-tissues. A tendency towards improved biomechanics (lower contact pressures) was seen with labral repair and reconstruction techniques as well as with cam correction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) appears common in ice hockey, but there is a lack of data examining pincer-type impingement in women's ice hockey athletes. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of pincer-type impingement in National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) athletes. Our hypothesis was that there would be an increased prevalence of pincer impingement in these athletes. METHODS Data were gathered for a team of NWHL players, and age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) matched controls were also retrospectively collected. All subjects were above 18 years of age. Control patients were excluded if they had undergone prior hip surgery, were greater than age 30, or had BMI greater than 35. Radiographs of both groups were assessed for lateral center edge angle (LCEA), Tönnis angle, and crossover sign. Tönnis angle <0 or LCEA >40 degrees was considered pincer morphology. An alpha angle >55 degrees was considered cam morphology. RESULTS Thirty-seven NWHL players and 37 female controls were included. Overall 32% of the players had a pincer lesion in either hip based on LCEA, 8% had a Tönnis angle <0, and 22% had a crossover sign in either hip compared to 9%, 19%, and 13% for the controls, respectively. None of these findings were significantly different between the groups (p > 0.05). An alpha angle ≥55 degrees in either hip was found in 84% of players, but lateral Dunn images for alpha angle measurements were not available for the control group. CONCLUSIONS Pincer-type morphology and crossover signs were present in a larger portion of NWHL players than has been reported in the general population, but these findings were not statistically different than in the control group. Cam-type morphology was even more prevalent in these athletes and may be related to age at menarche due impingement at the physis prior to closure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been described as repetitive and abnormal contact between a structurally abnormal proximal femur (cam) and/or acetabulum (pincer), occurring during the terminal range of motion of the hip. While cam and pincer lesions have traditionally been defined as osseous abnormalities, there may be a subset of adolescent patients whose impingement is primarily soft tissue (nonosseous). The existence of a nonosseous cam lesion in adolescents with FAI has not been well described. PURPOSE To identify and characterize a series of adolescent patients with nonosseous (soft cam) FAI identified on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and compare these patients' clinical presentation and outcome with those of a cohort with primary osseous cam FAI in the same age group. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS A prospective institutional registry of patients with symptomatic FAI was reviewed. Patients were included if they had an MRI scan and a lateral radiograph of the hip (45° Dunn or frog) at a baseline visit. On MRI, the anterolateral femoral head was evaluated using radial, coronal, sagittal, or axial oblique sequences. A soft cam lesion was identified by the presence of soft tissue thickening of ≥2 mm at the anterolateral femoral head-neck junction. An alpha angle was measured on MRI scans and radiographs when a lesion was identified. The cohort with soft cam lesions was reviewed and findings and outcomes were compared with those of a cohort with osseous cam lesions. Continuous variables were first examined for normality, and then nonparametric tests-such as the Kruskal-Wallis test-were considered. The change between pre- and postoperative patient-reported outcomes (PROs) was described by mean and standard deviation and evaluated with an independent-samples t test. RESULTS A total of 31 (9.3%) of 332 hips (mean age, 16.4 years [range 13.1-19.6 years]; women, 83.9%) were identified with a soft tissue impingment lesion on MRI at the femoral head-neck junction between the 12 and 3 o'clock positions. These lesions demonstrated a thickened perichondral ring (71%), periosteal thickening (26%), or a cartilaginous epiphyseal extension (3%). The mean alpha angle on MRI was greater than on radiographs (63.5°± 7.9° vs 51.3°± 7.9°; P < .0001). A total of 22 patients (71%) with soft impingement underwent hip preservation surgery. When compared with patients in the osseous cohort who also underwent surgical management, both groups showed similar significant improvements from pre- to postoperatively (soft: modified Harris Hip Score [mHHS], 26.9 ± 18.2; Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [HOOS], 31.4 ± 22.9; osseous: mHHS, 22.8 ± 20.8; HOOS, 27.4 ± 20.1; P < .0001), with a mean follow-up of 3.4 years (range, 1-7 years) in the soft cam cohort and 3 years (1-10.1 years) in the osseous cam cohort. CONCLUSION Clinicians should be aware of nonosseous or soft cam lesions that cause impingement in adolescent patients without an obvious osseous cam on radiographs. MRI is required to detect these soft cam lesions. When nonoperative treatment fails, the PROs in these patients after operative management are comparable with those in patients with osseous cam lesions. Further research is needed to determine whether the soft cam precedes an osseous cam or whether it is a separate entity.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common source of hip pain affecting a wide range of subjects. In this work, we assessed two tests, namely the balance test and the MuscleLab test, in comparison with the flexion-abduction-external rotation (FABER) and flexion-adduction-internal rotation (FADIR) tests, in order to evaluate the functionality of the neural-musculoskeletal system of the subjects affected by FAI based on the measurement of biomechanical parameters. Our goal was to investigate the early detection of an altered hip joint and to monitor pathology progression over time. A total of 52 subjects, 29 females and 23 males, with an average age of 42 ± 13 years presenting hip impingement diagnosed using X-ray, were enrolled. Twenty-eight patients without signs of hip impingements were used as the control group. The balance test, which evaluates the capacity of a person to keep the orthostatic position against terrestrial gravity, and the MuscleLab test, which measures the force and power generated by active muscles during a movement, as well as FABER and FADIR tests, were performed in each subject. The balance and MuscleLab tests presented 100% sensitivity and higher sensitivity in FAI diagnosis, with 72.9% and 70.4%, respectively, in comparison with those obtained using FABER and FADIR tests, with 59.6% and 67.3%, respectively. The evaluation of the neural-musculoskeletal system using the balance and MuscleLab tests can help in the early detection of the severity of hip impingements and the assessment of non-operative treatments used over time.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To date the aetiology of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is still not completely understood. There are mechanical theories that suggest symptomatic FAI is linked to sagittal pelvic morphology and spinopelvic-femoral dynamics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation of sagittal pelvic morphology and orientation to radiographic signs of FAI. Additionally, we test whether the relation between FAI and spinopelvic parameters differs in osteoarthritic hips. METHODS From a prospective, observational cohort study, 1002 patients between 45 and 65 years old with a first episode of knee or hip pain were followed for 8 years. All patients who had lateral lumbar radiographs and clinical and radiographic follow-up of the hips were included in the present study. Range of internal rotation of the hip as well as radiographic signs of FAI (alpha and Wiberg angle) and presence of hip osteoarthritis (Kellgren and Lawrence) were systematically measured at baseline. Pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS)) were measured at 8-year follow-up. Associations between PI, PT, SS and FAI parameters were tested using generalised estimating equations. RESULTS 421 subjects, 842 hips, were included. No significant relations between PI, PT or SS and alpha or Wiberg angle were found. Comparison of hips with and without radiological sign(s) of FAI showed no differences in PI, PT or SS. There was no relation between range of internal rotation of the hip and spinopelvic parameters. CONCLUSION Sagittal pelvic morphology and orientation are not related to the presence of radiological signs of FAI in this study population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate whether the asphericity of the neck-head junction of the femur confirmed via ultrasound is associated with further pathology due to femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI). METHODOLOGY After a clinical examination with positive FAI tests, an ultrasound examination of the hip was performed. In the case of asphericity, a quantitative ultrasound-assisted assessment of the hip was performed, followed by contrast-enhanced arthro-MRI with the question of cartilage or labral damage. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS We included 51 patients with a mean age of 35.25. According to the examination algorithm, asphericity was present in all patients via ultrasonography. The average anterior alpha angle (AAA) determined in ultrasonography was 43.49°. The average AAA on the arthro-MRI was 44.19°. The mean anterior head neck offset (AHNO) in ultrasound was 5.27 mm, and in arthro-MRI, it was 5.36 mm. Arthro-MRI confirmed a bump in 47 patients and a talization disorder in 4 patients. In 49 patients, a labral lesion was found, with one being a re-rupture. Furthermore, in one patient, labral degeneration was identified. Cartilage damage to the hip joint was found in 25 patients. Two patients had neither labral nor cartilage damage in the arthro-MRI. In our study, sonographically confirmed asphericity of the head-neck junction was found in 49 cases, which was associated with further pathology and, according to the current doctrine, was attributable to the FAI and required surgical intervention. This study shows that the detection of a pathologic head and neck contour via ultrasound in combination with positive clinical signs, as present in FAI, is associated with chondrolabral lesions detected via arthro-MRI in 96.1% of cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The overlapping biomechanical relationship between the lumbosacral spine and pelvis poses unique challenges to patients with concomitant pathologies limiting spinopelvic range of motion. PURPOSE To assess the influence of concomitant, symptomatic lumbosacral spine pathology on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and symptomatic labral tears. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A retrospective query of prospectively collected data identified patients aged ≥18 years with a minimum 24-month follow-up who underwent hip arthroscopy by a single surgeon for the treatment of symptomatic labral tears secondary to FAI. Patients were stratified into cohorts based on the presence (hip-spine [HS]) or absence (matched control [MC]) of symptomatic lumbosacral spine pathology. Inclusion within the HS cohort required confirmation of lower back pain/symptoms on preoperative surveys plus a diagnosis of lumbosacral spine pathology verified by radiology reports and correlating clinical documentation. Patients with previous spine surgery were excluded. PROMs were compared between groups, along with rates of achieving minimal clinically important difference (MCID) thresholds, Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) thresholds, revision arthroscopy, and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). RESULTS A total of 70 patients with lumbosacral pathology were coarsened exact matched to 87 control patients without spinal pathology. The HS cohort had preoperative baseline scores that were significantly worse for nearly all PROMs. Follow-ups at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months displayed similar trends, with the HS cohort demonstrating significantly worse scores for most collected outcomes. However, at every time point, HS and MC patients exhibited similar magnitudes of improvement across all PROM and pain metrics. Furthermore, while significantly fewer HS patients achieved PASS for nearly all PROMs at 12- and 24-month follow-ups, MCID thresholds were reached at similar or greater rates across all PROMs relative to the MC cohort. Finally, there were no significant differences in rates of revision or THA between cohorts at maximum available follow-up. CONCLUSION After hip arthroscopy to address labral tears in the setting of FAI, patients with symptomatic lumbosacral pathologies and no history of spine surgery were found to exhibit inferior pre- and postoperative PROMs but achieved statistically similar clinical benefit and rates of PROM improvement through 24-month follow-up compared with the MC cohort with isolated hip disease. These findings aid in providing a realistic recovery timeline and evidence that coexisting hip and spine disorders are not a contraindication for arthroscopic hip preservation surgery.

Abstract
Overall, 84%-87% of athletes will return to sport following hip arthroscopy; however, some literature suggests that only 57% of athletes return to their preinjury level, and only 16.9% report optimal performance. This discrepancy may be due to a lack of consistency within the definition of return to sport as well as a lack of consistency within rehabilitation programs when determining return to sport readiness. Athletes who are returning to sport must demonstrate adequate range of motion, strength, and the ability to perform multi-directional movements without the risk of reinjury. There has yet to be a comprehensive, criteria-based, return to sport testing protocol that utilizes objective measures to ensure athletes are ready for return to sport. The goal of the authors was to create a criteria-based testing protocol for return to sport following hip arthroscopy utilizing components best supported in the literature. The following parameters were identified as key areas to assess for within a return to sport testing protocol: range of motion, strength, functional testing, self-reported outcomes including psychological readiness and time. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to propose a criteria-based testing protocol to be used following hip arthroscopy for impingement from early rehabilitation through return to previous level of sport. Criteria are presented clearly to promote objective progression through rehabilitation while still being mindful of the biological healing time required for safe and efficient progression. It is the authors' hope that in identifying and establishing a criteria-based testing protocol a higher percentage of athletes will be able to return to sport. Level of Evidence 5.

Abstract
Introduction In situ pinning is an accepted treatment for stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis. However, residual deformity of severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis can cause femoroacetabular impingement and forced external rotation. Purpose/questions The aim of this study was to evaluate the (1) hip external rotation and internal rotation in flexion, (2) hip impingement location, and (3) impingement frequency in early flexion in severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients after in situ pinning using three-dimensional computed tomography. Patients and methods A retrospective Institutional Review Board-approved study evaluating 22 patients (26 hips) with severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis (slip angle > 60°) using postoperative three-dimensional computed tomography after in situ pinning was performed. Mean age at slipped capital femoral epiphysis diagnosis was 13 ± 2 years (58% male, four patients bilateral, 23% unstable, 85% chronic). Patients were compared to contralateral asymptomatic hips (15 hips) with unilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis (control group). Pelvic three-dimensional computed tomography after in situ pinning was used to generate three-dimensional models. Specific software was used to determine range of motion and impingement location (equidistant method). And 22 hips (85%) underwent subsequent surgery. Results (1) Severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients had significantly (p < 0.001) decreased hip flexion (43 ± 40°) and internal rotation in 90° of flexion (-16 ± 21°, IRF-90°) compared to control group (122 ± 9° and 36 ± 11°). (2) Femoral impingement in maximal flexion was located anterior to anterior-superior (27% on 3 o'clock and 27% on 1 o'clock) of severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients and located anterior to anterior-inferior (38% on 3 o'clock and 35% on 4 o'clock) in IRF-90°. (3) However, 21 hips (81%) had flexion < 90° and 22 hips (85%) had < 10° of IRF-90° due to hip impingement and 21 hips (81%) had forced external rotation in 90° of flexion (< 0° of IRF-90°). Conclusion After in situ pinning, patient-specific three-dimensional models showed restricted flexion and IRF-90° and forced external rotation in 90° of flexion due to early hip impingement and residual deformity in most of the severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients. This could help to plan subsequent hip preservation surgery, such as hip arthroscopy or femoral (derotation) osteotomy.

Abstract
Background Hip arthroscopy continues to advance and become increasingly commonly performed. With the evolution of techniques and instrumentation, labral repair rather than debridement has emerged as the treatment of choice for labral pathology. There remains a lack of data on long-term outcomes after labral repair. Purpose To (1) evaluate long-term patient-reported outcomes of primary hip arthroscopy with labral repair for femoroacetabular impingement, (2) report achievement rates of Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) and minimal clinically important difference (MCID), and (3) investigate rates of reoperation and progression to total hip arthroplasty (THA). Study Design Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods Prospectively collected data were reviewed for patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy with labral repair between 2010 and 2013. Patients' medical records were reviewed for demographic characteristics, intraoperative findings, reoperation, and progression to THA. Patients were assessed pre- and postoperatively using the following scales: visual analog scale (VAS) for pain; Tegner activity scale; modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS); 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12); Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL); HOS-Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS); and Non-Arthritic Hip Score. Patients were also surveyed for satisfaction, subjective improvement, and level of function. Results A total of 32 patients (n = 24 women; n = 8 men) with a mean age of 27.7 years (range, 13.6-51 years) were evaluated for a mean of 9.4 years (range, 9-12.1 years). Patients achieved significant mean improvements in VAS pain at rest of 2 points, VAS pain with use of 1.9, mHHS of 19.9 points, iHOT-12 of 33.5 points, HOS-ADL of 17.4 points, and HOS-SSS of 29.5 points (P≤ .015 for all). Eleven patients (34.4%) underwent reoperation and 4 (12.5%) progressed to THA during the study period. At the final follow-up, the MCID achievement rate was ≥68%, the PASS achievement rates ranged from 39% to 65%, and the mean patient satisfaction was 8.1 on a 1 to 10 scale, with 10 denoting most satisfied. Conclusion Patients demonstrated significant postoperative improvements in pain, mHHS, iHOT-12, HOS-ADL, and HOS-SSS scores at 9 years postoperatively. The all-cause reoperation rate was 34.4%, and 12.5% of patients progressed to THA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to assess the effect of osteochondroplasty on osteoarthritis (OA) prevention, comparing radiological evolution between identical hips from the same patient who had undergone unilateral surgery. DESIGN We retrospectively reviewed radiological evolution between hips with similar shape from the same patient who had undergone unilateral surgery. In all, 56 FAI patients (112 hips) with a mean age of 42.18 ± 9.16 years and had undergone unilateral arthroscopy treatment have been included. Four independent researchers measured Wiberg, Acetabular and Alpha angles, Extrusion index, and Tönnis classification preoperatively to verify that operated and non-operated hips had the same shape. OA evolution was assessed by joint space width (JSW) in 3 different articular points and Tönnis classification. RESULTS No preoperative anatomical differences were present between groups (P > 0.05). At the end of follow-up (31.9 months), a decrease of JSW in the 3 points measured was found in OP hips (OP vs. N-OP; P < 0.01). These results were correlated with changes in the proportion of patients who progressed to grade III in Tönnis classification (from 1.3% preoperative to 23.2% at the end of follow-up). CONCLUSIONS Osteochondroplasty and labrum procedures were not associated with OA prevention. The OP hips showed a faster OA degeneration, which was not seen in the N-OP. These results will encourage hip surgeons to perform further investigations to avoid the "Pandora's Box Opening Process."

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breaking has gained public attention as a form of sports activity. The associated intense movements of the hip joints are possibly linked to the development of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Therefore, this study aimed to assess clinical and radiographic FAI measures in professional breakers compared to hobby athletes. METHODS The study cohort consisted of professional breakers with persisting hip pain who were 1:1 matched to a cohort of FAI patients without professional sports careers from our outpatient clinic. The primary endpoint assessed on standardized plain radiographs was the alpha angle (AA). Further measures were the acetabular index (AI), lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), crossover sign, ischial spine sign, and femoral head extrusion index (FHEI). The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were used to obtain patient-reported measures. RESULTS We recruited ten professional breakers and matched them to ten hobby athletes. The median AA was significantly higher in the breakers compared with the hobby athletes (73° [IQR 66.5°, 84.2°]) vs. 61.8° [IQR 59.5°, 64.8°], p = 0.0004). There was a significant reduction in weekly training hours in breakers after diagnosis (13.0 hours [interquartile range [IQR] 9.5, 32.4] to 1.5 hours [IQR 0, 4.8], p = 0.0039). There were no inter-group differences regarding mHHS, WOMAC, and additional radiographic measurements. CONCLUSION Breakers have higher AA in cam-type FAI compared to nonprofessional athletes. The corresponding hip pain significantly reduced training hours and caused the end of their breaking career. The potentially high prevalence of FAI in breakers and the corresponding consequences need to be considered early when athletes present with hip pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common cause of hip pain, especially in young patients. When left untreated, it has been demonstrated to be a risk factor for the onset or progression of osteoarthritis (OA) and has been identified as one of the main contributors leading to the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a young age. While the short-term therapeutic potential of hip arthroscopy is widely recognized, little is known regarding its potential mid- to long-term preventive effect on the progression of hip OA. PURPOSE To (1) report clinical outcomes of arthroscopically treated FAI syndrome with a minimum 5-year follow-up and compare the results to a cohort with FAI treated nonsurgically and (2) determine the influence of hip arthroscopy on the onset and progression of hip OA in patients diagnosed with FAI. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Patients who had hip pain and were diagnosed with FAI were included. Exclusion criteria were (1) previous or concomitant hip surgery, (2) <5 years of follow-up, and (3) insufficient radiographs. Patients treated with hip arthroscopy were compared with a cohort of patients with FAI who were treated nonsurgically. Kaplan-Meier estimates of failure (defined as conversion to THA) were performed. Bivariate analysis and Cox regression were used to identify factors associated with inferior clinical and radiographic outcomes. RESULTS A total of 957 patients (650 female, 307 male; 1114 hips) (mean age, 28.03 ± 8.9 years [range, 6.5-41.0 years]) with FAI were included. A total of 132 hips underwent hip arthroscopy and 982 hips were nonoperatively treated. The mean follow-up was 12.5 ± 4.7 years (range, 5.0-23.4 years). At the final follow-up, the rate of OA progression was 26.5% in the operative group and 35.2% in the nonoperative cohort (P < .01). Conversion to THA was performed in 6.8% of the surgical patients and 10.5% of the initially nonsurgical patients (P = .19). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the risk of failure between the operatively and nonoperatively treated patients. Male sex, increased age at initial diagnosis, presence of cam morphology, and increased initial Tönnis grade were risk factors for failure (male sex: hazard ratio [HR], 2.3; P < .01; per year of increased age: HR, 1.1; P < .01; presence of cam: HR, 3.5; P < .01; per Tönnis grade: HR, 4.0; P < .01). CONCLUSION At a mean follow-up of nearly 13 years, 7% of patients of the surgical group experienced progression to THA, compared with 11% of the nonoperative control group. While most of the operative group showed little to no OA at final follow-up, moderate OA (Tönnis grade 2) was present in 12% of the cohort compared with 22% of nonsurgical patients. Increased age at diagnosis, male sex, presence of a cam morphology, and presence of initial arthritic joint changes were found to be risk factors for failure. The results of this study demonstrated evidence for a preventive effect of hip arthroscopy on the development and progression of OA in young patients with FAI at mid- to long-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a known association between ice hockey and cam deformity in growing athletes. Similarly, the association between sport specialization and overuse injury in youth athletes has been well established. Limited research exists examining the relationship between cam deformity and sport specialization. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE Our hypothesis was that there would be a positive association with cam deformity and sport specialization category. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review and cross-sectional questionnaire study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. METHODS Study participants included athletes aged 15 to 25 years with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and considered ice hockey as their primary sport. All participants had completed Dunn lateral radiographs or hip magnetic resonance imaging as part of their clinical evaluation. All participants completed a survey regarding sport specialization level. Multivariable linear regression analysis controlling for sex was used to analyze the association between degree of sport specialization, age of sport specialization, position played, and level played. Comparisons in radiographic parameters across ice hockey groups were conducted using Student t tests and chi-square tests. RESULTS Sixty-six ice hockey participants made up the cohort. The majority reported high sport specialization (41/66, 62%). The mean age of sport specialization was 10.7 years (SD 3.5). Participants with moderate specialization had 25 times the odds of a cam deformity (odds ratio [OR] 25.2; 95% CI 1.5-410.7; P = 0.02) and those with high specialization had 9 times the odds of cam deformity (OR 9.3; 95% CI 1.2-74.2; P = 0.04) compared with those with a low degree of specialization, controlling for patient sex. No association was detected between the age of specialization and the likelihood of cam deformity when controlling for patient sex. CONCLUSION Level of sport specialization was associated with a cam deformity in this cohort of youth ice hockey athletes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study suggests that an association exists.

Abstract
PURPOSE Articular cartilage defects are a prevalent consequence of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in young active patients. In accordance with current guidelines, large chondral lesions of the hip joint over 2 cm2 are recommended to be treated with matrix-associated, autologous chondrocyte transplantation (MACT); however, the conditions in the hip joint are challenging for membrane-based MACT options. Injectable MACT products can solve this problem. The purpose of the trial was to assess clinical and radiological outcomes 24 months after injectable MACT of focal chondral lesions caused by FAI. METHODS We present data of 21 patients with focal cartilage defects of the hip [3.0 ± 1.4 cm2 (mean ± SD)], ICRS Grade III and IV caused by CAM-type impingement, who underwent arthroscopic MACT (NOVOCART® Inject) and FAI correction. The outcome was evaluated with the patient-reported outcome instruments iHOT33 and EQ-5D-5L (index value and VAS), whilst graft morphology was assessed based on the MOCART score over a follow-up period of 24 months. RESULTS The iHOT33 score increased significantly from 52.9 ± 21.1 (mean ± SD) preoperatively to 85.8 ± 14.8 (mean ± SD; p < 0.0001) 24 months postoperatively. The EQ-5D-5L index value (p = 0.0004) and EQ-5D VAS (p = 0.0006) showed a statistically significant improvement as well. MRI evaluation after 24 months showed successful integration of the implant in all patients with a complete defect filling in 11 of 14 patients. CONCLUSIONS Injectable MACT for the treatment of full-thickness chondral lesions of the hip joint due to FAI in combination with FAI correction improved symptoms, function, and quality of life in the treated cohort. Alongside the treatment of the underlying pathology by the FAI correction, the developed cartilage defect can be successfully repaired by MACT, which is of considerable clinical relevance.

Abstract
Hip pain is indubitably a frequent clinical problem deriving from copious etiologies. Hip impingement syndromes are one of the most prevalent causes of persistent groin pain, especially in young and active patients. Diligent imaging of the hip region is indispensable to discern femoroacetabular impingement, as the differential diagnosis of hip pain can be exceedingly arduous. Despite hip radiography being plain and broadly attainable, it offers narrow information concerning soft tissue pathologies around the hip joint (extra-articular hip impingement syndromes). Magnetic resonance imaging and arthrography remain the gold standard examination for detecting intra-articular pathologies; however, they are widely considered expensive, time-consuming and characterized by confined. Consequently, ultrasonography has emerged as an alternative valuable diagnostic tool for distinguishing the underlying abnormalities that trigger femoroacetabular impingement. Proper hip ultrasound examination provides dynamic assessment, while also beneficial for guided intervention around the hip joint. Ultrasound hip examination is exacting due to its complex regional anatomy and deep location. It is capable of providing detailed information about various hip quadrants. An adept operator can identify both intra-articular and extra-articular pathologies. In addition, with ultrasonography, hip injections have been rendered relatively undemanding, aiding in therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. This paper aims to provide a succinct and compendious review of the existing literature, accentuating the crucial role of ultrasonography in diagnosing hip impingement syndromes and determining whether an additional examination is required regarding distinguishing between intra-articular and extra-articular syndromes.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is an important trigger of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Epigenetic changes in DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B) attenuate catabolic gene expression in cartilage hemostasis. This study aimed to examine the articular chondrocyte catabolic state and DNMT3B and 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase promoter (ABAT) expression during OA progression in FAI. Cartilage samples were collected from the impingement zone of 12 patients with cam FAI (early-FAI) and 12 patients with advanced OA secondary to cam FAI (late-FAI-OA). Five healthy samples were procured from cadavers (ND: nondiseased). Explants were cultured under unstimulated conditions, catabolic stimulus (IL1β), or anabolic stimulus (TGFβ). Histology was performed with safranin-O/fast-green staining. Gene expression was analyzed via qPCR for GAPDH, DNMT3B, ABAT, MMP-13, COL10A1. Methylation specific PCR assessed methylation status at the ABAT promoter. Cartilage samples in early-FAI and late-FAI-OA showed a histological OA phenotype and increased catabolic marker expression (MMP13/COL10A1, ND vs. early-FAI, p = 0.004/p < 0.001, ND vs. late-FAI-OA, p < 0.001/p < 0.001). RT-PCR confirmed DNMT3B underexpression (ND vs. early-FAI, p < 0.001, early-FAI vs. late-FAI-OA, p = 0.016) and ABAT overexpression (ND vs. early-FAI, p < 0.001, early vs. late-FAI-OA, p = 0.035) with advanced disease. End-stage disease showed ABAT promoter hypomethylation. IL1β stimulus accentuated ABAT promoter hypomethylation and led to further ABAT and catabolic marker overexpression in early-FAI and late-FAI-OA while TGFβ normalized these alterations in gene expression. Catabolic and epigenetic molecule expression suggested less catabolism in early-stage disease. Sustained inflammation induced ABAT promoter hypo-methylation causing a catabolic phenotype. Suppression of ABAT by methylation control could be a new target for therapeutic intervention to prevent OA progression in hip FAI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Full-thickness acetabular cartilage lesions are common findings during primary surgical treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). PURPOSE To evaluate clinical outcomes after acetabular microfracture performed during FAI surgery in a prospective, multicenter cohort. STUDY DESIGN Cohort Study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Patients with FAI who had failed nonoperative management were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter cohort. Preoperative and postoperative (mean follow-up, 4.3 years) patient-reported outcome measures were obtained with a follow-up rate of 81.6% (621/761 hips), including 54 patients who underwent acetabular microfracture. Patient characteristics, radiographic parameters, intraoperative disease severity, and operative procedures were analyzed. Propensity matching using linear regression was used to match 54 hips with microfracture to 162 control hips (1:3) to control for confounding variables. Subanalyses of hips ≤35 and >35 years of age with propensity matching were also performed. RESULTS Patients who underwent acetabular microfracture were more likely to be male (81.8% vs 40.9%; P < .001), be older in age (35.0 vs 29.9 years; P = .001), have a higher body mass index (27.2 vs 25.0; P = .001), and have a greater alpha angle (69.6° vs 62.3°; P < .001) compared with the nonmicrofracture cohort (n = 533). After propensity matching to control for covariates, patients treated with microfracture displayed no differences in the modified Harris Hip Score or Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (P = .22-.95) but were more likely to undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) (13% [7/54] compared with 4% [6/162] in the control group; P = .002), and age >35 years was associated with conversion to THA after microfracture. Microfracture performed at or before 35 years of age portended good outcomes with no significant risk of conversion to THA at the most recent follow-up. CONCLUSION Microfracture of acetabular cartilage defects appears to be safe and associated with reliably improved short- to mid-term results in younger patients; modified expectations should be realized when full-thickness chondral lesions are identified in patients >35 years of age.

Abstract
Background Trends between the sexes have been reported regarding prevalence, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and complications of hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), yet current results lack consensus. Purpose To evaluate sex-based differences after HA for FAIS in (1) prevalence of cam and pincer morphology in FAIS and (2) PROs, pain scores, and postoperative complication rates. Study Design Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods The EMBASE, PubMed, and Ovid (MEDLINE) databases were searched from establishment to February 28, 2022, according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Included studies had sex-based data on prevalence, outcomes, and complications of HA for FAIS. Reviews and commentaries were excluded. Data were combined, and between-sex differences were analyzed. Meta-analyses using random-effects models were performed when possible. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) and standardized mean differences were calculated. Results A total of 74 studies were included (213,059 patients; 132,973 female hips [62.4%] and 80,086 male hips [37.6%]). The mean age was 30.7 ± 7.7 years among male patients and 31.1 ± 7.8 years among female patients. Male patients experienced mixed-type impingement significantly more often (39.4% vs 27.2% for female patients; RR = 0.69 [95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58-0.81]; P < .001), whereas female patients experienced pincer-type impingement more often (50.6% vs 30.8% for male patients; RR = 2.35 [95% CI, 1.14-4.86]; P = .02). Male patients had higher likelihoods of undergoing femoroplasty (89.8% vs 77.4% for female patients; RR = 0.90 [95% CI, 0.83-0.97]; P = .006), acetabuloplasty (67.1% vs 59.3% for female patients; RR = 0.87 [95% CI, 0.79-0.97]; P = .01), or combined femoroplasty/acetabuloplasty (29.2% vs 14.5% for female patients; RR = 0.63 [95% CI, 0.44-0.90]; P = .01). Although female patients showed greater improvements in Hip Outcome Score-Sport-Specific subscale (P = .005), modified Harris Hip Score (P = .006), and visual analog scale pain (P < .001), both sexes surpassed the minimal clinically important difference at 1, 2, and 5 years postoperatively. Female patients had higher complication rates (P = .003), although no sex-based differences were found in total hip arthroplasty conversion rates (P = .21). Conclusion Male patients undergoing HA for FAIS had a higher prevalence of mixed-type FAIS while female patients had more pincer-type FAIS. Female patients gained greater improvements in PROs, although both sexes exceeded the minimal clinically important difference, suggesting that both male and female patients can benefit from HA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral torsion measurements and outcomes are variable throughout the literature and have focused on short-term follow-up. However, there is a paucity of literature investigating clinically meaningful outcomes at midterm follow-up after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). PURPOSE To quantify femoral version using computed tomography imaging in patients with FAIS and to explore the relationship between version abnormalities and 5-year outcomes after hip arthroscopy. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS between January 2012 and November 2017 were identified. Patients were included if they had 5-year follow-up with completion of ≥1 patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores and excluded if they had Tönnis grade >1, revision hip surgery, a concomitant hip procedure, a developmental disorder, or a lateral center-edge angle <20°. Torsion groups were defined as severe retrotorsion (<0°), moderate retrotorsion (0.1°-5°), normal torsion (5.1°-20°), moderate antetorsion (20.1°-25°), and severe antetorsion (>25.1°) based on computed tomography measurements. Patient characteristics were analyzed among the torsion cohorts, as were preoperative and 5-year PROs: Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score-Sports Subscale, modified Harris Hip Score, international Hip Outcome Tool, visual analog scale for pain, and visual analog scale for satisfaction. Achievement rates of cohort-specific thresholds for the minimal clinically important difference and Patient Acceptable Symptom State were calculated and compared among cohorts. RESULTS A total of 362 patients (244 female, 118 male; mean ± SD age, 33.1 ± 11.5 years; body mass index, 26.9 ± 17.8) met inclusion/exclusion criteria and were analyzed at a final mean follow-up of 64.3 ± 9.4 months (range, 53.5-115.5 months). Mean femoral torsion was 12.8°± 9.2°. The number of patients within each group was 20 for severe retrotorsion (torsion, -6.3°± 4.9°), 45 for moderate retrotorsion (2.7°± 1.3°), 219 for normal torsion (12.2°± 4.1°), 39 for moderate antetorsion (21.9°± 1.3°), and 39 for severe antetorsion (29.0°± 4.2°). No significant differences in age, body mass index, sex, smoking status, workers' compensation, psychiatric history, back pain, or physical activity were found among the torsional groups. All groups demonstrated significant improvements at 5 years postoperatively (P < .01 for all). All torsion subgroups demonstrated similar pre- to postoperative changes in PROs (P≥ .515) and PRO values at 5-year follow-up (P≥ .098). There were no significant differences in the achievement of the minimal clinically important difference (P≥ .422) or Patient Acceptable Symptom State (P≥ .161) for any of the PROs among the torsion groups. CONCLUSION The orientation and severity of femoral torsion at the time of hip arthroscopy for FAIS in this study's cohort did not affect the propensity for clinically meaningful outcome improvement at midterm follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No consensus is available regarding which radiographic measurement most accurately correlates with anterior coverage of the femoral head. PURPOSE (1) To determine the correlation between 2 measurements of anterior wall coverage: total anterior coverage (TAC) calculated from radiographs and equatorial anterior acetabular sector angle (eAASA) calculated from computed tomography (CT) scans; (2) to define the correlation between anterior center-edge angle (ACEA) and anterior wall index (AWI) with TAC and eAASA; and (3) to investigate what other radiographic metrics may help predict anterior coverage. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed 77 hips (48 patients) for which radiographs and CT scans were obtained for reasons other than hip-related pain. Mean age of the population was 62 ± 22 years; 48 (62%) hips were from female patients. Two observers measured lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), AWI, Tönnis angle, ACEA, CT-based pelvic tilt, and CT-based acetabular version, with all Bland-Altman plots within 95% agreement. Correlation between intermethod measurements was estimated with a Pearson coefficient. Linear regression was used to test the ability of baseline radiographic measurements to predict both TAC and eAASA. RESULTS Pearson coefficients were r = 0.164 (ACEA vs TAC; P = .155), r = 0.170 (ACEA vs eAASA; P = .140), r = 0.58 (AWI vs TAC; P = .0001), and r = 0.693 (AWI vs eAASA; P < .0001). Multiple linear regression model 1 showed that AWI (β = 17.8; 95% CI, 5.7 to 29.9; P = .004), CT acetabular version (β = -0.45; 95% CI, -0.71 to -0.22; P = .001), and LCEA (β = 0.33; 95% CI, 0.19 to 0.47; P = .001) were useful to predict TAC. Multiple linear regression model 2 revealed that AWI (β = 25; 95% CI, 15.67 to 34.4; P = .001), CT acetabular version (β = -0.48; 95% CI, -0.67 to -0.29; P = .001), CT pelvic tilt (β = 0.26; 95% CI, 0.12 to 0.4; P = .001), and LCEA (β = 0.21; 95% CI, 0.1 to 0.3; P = .001) accurately predicted eAASA. Model-based estimates and 95% CIs using 2000 bootstrap samples from the original data were 6.16 to 28.6 for AWI in model 1 and 15.1 to 34.26 for AWI in model 2. CONCLUSION There was a moderate to strong correlation between AWI and both TAC and eAASA, whereas ACEA correlated weakly with the former measurements, thus not being useful to quantify anterior acetabular coverage. Other variables such as LCEA, acetabular version, and pelvic tilt may also help predict anterior coverage in asymptomatic hips.

Abstract
Background The location of posterior hip impingement at maximal extension in patients with posterior femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is unclear. Purpose To investigate the frequency and area of impingement at maximal hip extension and at 10° and 20° of extension in female patients with increased femoral version (FV) and posterior hip pain. Study Design Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Osseous patient-specific 3-dimensional (3D) models were generated of 50 hips (37 female patients, 3D computed tomography) with a positive posterior impingement test and increased FV (defined as >35°). The McKibbin index (combined version) was calculated as the sum of FV and acetabular version (AV). Subgroups of patients with an increased McKibbin index >70° (24 hips) and FV >50° (20 hips) were analyzed. A control group of female participants (10 hips) had normal FV, normal AV, and no valgus deformity (neck-shaft angle, <139°). Validated 3D collision detection software was used for simulation of osseous impingement-free hip extension (no rotation). Results The mean impingement-free maximal hip extension was significantly lower in patients with FV >35° compared with the control group (15° ± 15° vs 55° ± 19°; P < .001). At maximal hip extension, 78% of patients with FV >35° had osseous posterior extra-articular ischiofemoral hip impingement. At 20° of extension, the frequency of posterior extra-articular ischiofemoral impingement was significantly higher for patients with a McKibbin index >70° (83%) and for patients with FV >35° (76%) than for controls (0%) (P < .001 for both). There was a significant correlation between maximal extension (no rotation) and FV (r = 0.46; P < .001) as well as between impingement area at 20° of extension (external rotation [ER], 0°) and McKibbin index (0.61; P < .001). Impingement area at 20° of extension (ER, 0°) was significantly larger for patients with McKibbin index >70° versus <70° (251 vs 44 mm2; P = .001). Conclusion The limited hip extension found in our study could theoretically affect the performance of sports activities such as running, ballet dancing, or lunges. Therefore, although not examined directly in this study, these activities are not advisable for these patients. Preoperative evaluation of FV and the McKibbin index is important in female patients with posterior hip pain before hip preservation surgery (eg, hip arthroscopy).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip arthroscopy is an effective treatment tool for athletes with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. However, long-term data are scarce. PURPOSE To assess survivorship, minimum 10-year patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and sports participation after primary hip arthroscopy for FAI syndrome in athletes and to perform a propensity-matched comparison between patients undergoing labral debridement and labral repair. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Athletes who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAI syndrome between February 2008 and December 2010 were eligible. Exclusion criteria were other ipsilateral hip condition, Tönnis grade ≥2, or no baseline PROMs. Survivorship was defined as no conversion to total hip arthroplasty. The Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), minimal clinically important difference (MCID), maximum outcome improvement (MOI) satisfaction threshold, and sports participation were reported. A propensity-matched comparison between labral debridement and labral repair was performed. Two additional propensity-matched subanalyses were performed for capsular management and cartilage damage. RESULTS In total, 189 hips (177 patients) were included. The mean ± SD follow-up was 127.2 ± 6.0 months. Survivorship was 85.7%. Significant improvement in all PROMs was reported (P < .001). A total of 46 athletes with labral repair were propensity matched to 46 athletes with labral debridement. This subanalysis demonstrated significant and comparable improvement in all PROMs at minimum 10-year follow-up (P < .001). For the labral repair group, the PASS achievement rates were 88.9% for the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and 80% for the Hip Outcome Score-Sport Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS); the MCID achievement rates were 80.6% for the mHHS and 84% for HOS-SSS; and for the MOI satisfaction threshold, rates were 77.8%, 80.6%, and 55.6% for the mHHS, Nonarthritic Hip Score, and visual analog scale, respectively. For the labral debridement group, the PASS achievement rates were 85.3% for the mHHS and 70.4% for the HOS-SSS; the MCID achievement rates were 81.8% for the mHHS and 74.1% for HOS-SSS; and for the MOI satisfaction threshold, rates were 72.7%, 81.8%, and 66.7% for the mHHS, Nonarthritic Hip Score, and visual analog scale. Total hip arthroplasty conversions occurred significantly sooner with labral debridement than labral repair (P = .048). Age was identified as a significant predictor of achieving the PASS. CONCLUSION Primary hip arthroscopy for FAI syndrome in athletes results in 85.7% survivorship and sustained PROM improvement at a minimum 10-year follow-up. A significant time delay to total hip arthroplasty conversion at 10-year follow-up was reported with labral repair over debridement, although this should be interpreted with caution, as the total number of conversions was small.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of chondrolabral lesions due to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is 93% in cadaveric material. As a biomechanically determined factor, it can lead to hip destruction and early osteoarthritis in pincer-type impingement. The aim of this work was to study the biomechanism and stress-strain behavior of chondrolabral lesions in pincer-type impingement during daily activity-associated movements. MATERIAL AND METHODS The SolidWorks package was used to build a 3D pelvis model with and without pincer-type impingement in the femoroacetabular (FA) region. Finite element analysis (FEA) in ANSYS was performed to determine von Mises stress, strain and total deformations for the models during 90 hip flexion and 15 internal rotation during daily activities. RESULTS Maximum stress-strain values increased 2-3.4 times in the bone along the anterior upper acetabular rim, femoral neck and acetabular labrum in the area of the pincer osteophyte compared to the non-pincer condition in the FA model. CONCLUSIONS 1. The increase in stress-strain in the contact area at the pincer osteophyte and femoral neck can be a factor of cam-type osteophyte formation and progression of acetabular rim ossification. 2. Daily activity can lead to an increase in maximum stress, as a factor of chondral delamination and destruction of the acetabular labrum. 3. Early surgery is needed to avoid progression of osteoarthritis in pincer-type impingement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip arthroscopy (HA) has been proven to be an effective treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in both competitive athletes (CA) and non-CA at short-term follow-up. However, there is a paucity of literature investigating midterm outcomes comparing athletes with Controls. HYPOTHESIS Athletes would have significant improvements at 5 years, with favorable outcomes compared with their control counterparts, and high return-to-sport (RTS) rate. STUDY DESIGN Propensity-matched retrospective comparative cohort study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3. METHODS CAs who underwent primary HA for FAIS from January 1, 2012 to April 30, 2017 were identified and propensity matched on a 1:4 basis to Controls by age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were collected preoperatively and at 5 years. Minimal clinically important differences (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom states (PASS) rates were calculated using previously published thresholds. Rate and duration of RTS were collected retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 57 high-level CA (33 female, 24 male; age, 21.7 ± 4.2 years; BMI, 23.1 ± 2.8 kg/m2) were propensity matched to 228 Controls (132 female, 96 male; P > 0.99; age, 23.3 ± 5.8 years; P = 0.02; BMI, 23.8 ± 4.3 kg/m2, P = 0.24). Significant differences were observed in preoperative Hip Outcome Score Sports Specific and Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL) subscales (CA, 74.9 ± 13.7 vs Controls, 66.4 ± 18.4; P = 0.01) and modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) (CA, 64.7 ± 12.9 vs Controls, 59.7 ± 14.3; P = 0.04). Both groups demonstrated significant postoperative improvements in all outcome scores measured (P ≤ 0.01). At 5 years postoperatively, there were significant differences between groups in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain (CA, 17.3 ± 17.6 vs Controls, 24.7 ± 25.9; P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in achieving MCID or PASS. Athletes RTS at a median of 25.2 weeks (Q1 22.4-Q3 30.7) with an overall RTS rate of 90%. Similar rates of revision were seen between CA patients (n = 3; 5.3%) and Control patients (n = 9; 3.9%) (P = 0.66). CONCLUSION CAs demonstrated significant and durable improvements in PROs as well as high MCID and PASS achievement rates after primary HA, which were comparable with those of Controls. Clinicians should be aware that CA patients demonstrate higher preoperative mHHS and HOS-ADL scores than Controls and achieve lower average self-reported pain at 5 years postoperatively. In addition, CA patients demonstrate high rates of RTS at a median of 25 weeks postoperatively. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study provides insight into CA versus Control PROs and rates of achieving MCID and PASS at a midterm follow-up of 5 years. Furthermore, this study offers perception into RTS rate, both in general as well as specified to individualized sports.

Abstract
Background Outcomes for patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) treated with hip arthroscopy can differ depending on whether there is underlying intra-articular pathology. Purpose To evaluate the outcomes of patients after undergoing hip arthroscopy depending on their underlying pathology (isolated FAI, isolated labral tear, or combined FAI and a labral tear) using the 12-Item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12). Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods A total of 75 patients diagnosed with FAI with or without labral tears and isolated labral tears who underwent hip arthroscopy performed by the same surgeon at a single institution from January 2014 to December 2019 were included in this study. All patients had at least 2 years of follow-up data. Patients were divided into 3 groups as follows: patients with FAI and an intact labrum; patients with an isolated labral tear; and patients with combined FAI and a labral tear. The iHOT-12 scores at 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 18, and >24 months postoperatively were compared and analyzed. Outcome scores were also evaluated in terms of the substantial clinical benefit (SCB) and the patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS). Results Of 75 patients who underwent hip arthroscopy, 14 had FAI, 23 had labral tears, and 38 had both. All groups showed significant improvements on the iHOT-12 from preoperative to the final follow-up (FAI, from 37.64 ± 3.77 to 93.64 ± 1.50; labral tear, from 33.70 ± 3.55 to 93 ± 1.24; combined, from 28.55 ± 3.15 to 93.03 ± 0.88) (P < .001 for all). However, compared with other groups, the patients with FAI and a labral tear had lower scores at 1.5, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (P < .001), highlighting a slower rate of recovery. For all groups, recovery to normal function according to the SCB was 100% at 12 months, and satisfaction according to the PASS was 100% at 18 months postoperatively. Conclusion The final iHOT-12 scores were similar at 18 months regardless of the pathology treated; however, patients with FAI and a labral tear took longer to reach their plateau.

Abstract
Currently, hip braces are recommended and typically worn by femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) patients after hip arthroscopic surgery. However, there is currently a lack of literature regarding the biomechanical effectiveness of hip braces. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical effect of hip braces after hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI. Overall, 11 patients who underwent arthroscopic FAI correction and labral preservation surgery were included in the study. Standing-up and walking tasks in unbraced and braced conditions were performed at 3 weeks postoperatively. For the standing-up task, videotaped images of the hip's sagittal plane were recorded while patients stood from a seated position. After each motion, the hip flexion-extension angle was calculated. For the walking task, acceleration of the greater trochanter was measured using a triaxial accelerometer. For the standing-up motion, the mean peak hip flexion angle was found to be significantly lower in the braced condition than in the unbraced condition. Furthermore, the mean peak acceleration of the greater trochanter was significantly lower in the braced condition than in the unbraced condition. Patients undergoing arthroscopic FAI correction surgery would benefit from usage of a hip brace in terms of protecting repaired tissues during early postoperative recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess 5-year outcomes and survival rate of hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and to determine achievement rates of clinically significant outcomes. METHODS Three databases were searched around the following terms: hip arthroscopy, FAIS, and 5-year follow-up. Articles available in English, presenting original data, and reporting minimum 5-year follow-up after primary HA using either patient reported outcomes (PROs) or conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) and/or revision surgery were included. Quality assessment was completed using MINORS assessment, and relative agreement was calculated using Cohen's kappa. RESULTS Fifteen articles were included. MINORS assessment ranged from 11-22, with excellent (k=0.842) inter-rater reliability between reviewers. 2080 patients were included at a follow-up range of 60.0-84 months. Labral repair was the most commonly performed procedure (range: 8.0%-100%). All studies included PROs and all reported statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) at the 5-year timepoint. The most frequent PRO reported was modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) (n=8). Nine studies reported on clinically significant outcome achievement, with mHHS being the most common (n=8). The rate of achieving minimal clinically important difference (MCID) ranged from 64-100%, patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) ranged from 45-87.4%, and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) ranged from 35.3-66%. Conversion to THA and revision surgery varied across studies, with ranges of 0.0%-17.9% (duration: 28.8-87.1 months) and 1.3%-26.7% (duration: 14.8-83.7 months), respectively. The most common definition of failure was conversion to THA or revision (n=7). Increased age (n=5) and greater joint degeneration (n=4) were the most common predictors of clinical failure. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS demonstrate significant improvement at 5-year follow-up, with maintained rates of achievement of MCID, PASS, and SCB. Survival rate of HA at 5-years is overall high, with ranges of 0.0-17.9% and 1.3-26.7% % conversion to THA or revision surgery, respectively. Across studies, increased age and greater joint degeneration were the most common cited predictors of clinical failure.
