Extent of Cam Resection Relative to Epiphyseal Line and Its Association With Clinical Outcomes After Arthroscopic Treatment for Femoroacetabular Syndrome

Background: Inadequate resection of cam lesions can cause inferior outcomes after hip arthroscopy and result in revision surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).

Description
Summary:Background: Inadequate resection of cam lesions can cause inferior outcomes after hip arthroscopy and result in revision surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Purpose: To evaluate the association between postoperative cam lesions measured using the proximal boundaries of resection area (PBRE) relative to the epiphyseal line and 2-year outcomes after hip arthroscopy. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included were patients with FAIS who had undergone primary hip arthroscopy between 2016 and 2018. The PBRE was calculated by measuring the linear distance from the PBRE to the epiphyseal line, dividing it by the diameter of the femoral head, and multiplying by 100; PBRE measurements were made at the 12-, 1-, and 2-o’clock positions on postoperative hip computed tomography. Within each clockface position, patients were divided into subgroups depending on whether their postoperative PBRE was greater than a half standard deviation above the mean (adequate resection) or less than or equal to a half standard deviation above the mean (inadequate resection). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs; Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living [HOS-ADL], International Hip Outcome Tool–Short Form [iHOT-12], modified Harris Hip Score [mHHS], and pain visual analog scale [VAS]) and rates of achieving the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were compared among the subgroups. Results: Included were 80 pairs of hips at 12 o’clock, 81 pairs of hips at 1 o’clock, and 80 pairs of hips at 2 o’clock. All subgroups demonstrated significant improvements in PRO scores at a minimum 2-year follow-up compared with preoperatively. At the 12-o’clock position, the subgroup with adequate resection had significantly superior HOS-ADL (P = .004), iHOT-12 (P < .001), and mHHS (P < .001) scores and were more likely to achieve the MCID for the iHOT-12 score (P = .035) and the PASS for the HOS-ADL (P = .003), iHOT-12 (P = .007), and mHHS (P < .001) scores compared with the matched subgroup. There were no significant differences in PRO scores or rates of MCID and PASS for the 1- or 2-o’clock groups. Conclusion: The epiphyseal line may be a useful and reproducible landmark measurement for cam-type deformity. Patients considered to have inadequate resection at 12 o’clock had lower outcome scores at a minimum 2-year follow-up.
