Femoracetabular Impingement: In Theory and In Practice Tom Bradbury, MD Assistant Professor Emory Orthopaedics and Spine Center March 11, 2011
2
A delay in non-arthroplasty treatment options for the hip……. Hip pain in the young patient not as common Hip is “deeper” than knee, shoulder Hip is more constrained Hip capsule is very robust Precarious blood supply to the femoral head limited an interest in surgical exposure…a fear of iatrogenic avascular necrosis
3
What is the etiology of osteoarthritis of the hip?
4
“ 90% of adult cases of osteoarthritis are the result of a morphologic developmental abnormality ”…..not a intrinsic problem with articular cartilage -Murray, 1965 -Harris, 1986
5
“Structural Pediatric Residuals” Developmental Dysplasia Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia
6
Radiography of Hips with FAI Normal joint space Subtle morphologic aberrations “Normal” to the untrained eye
7
1991: “cervico-acetabular impingement” secondary to femoral neck malunion 1999: “pincer” type impingement after periacetabular osteotomy for dysplasia
8
Evolution of an Understanding Reinhold Ganz Anatomy Perfusion Osteotomy Dislocation Impingement
9
Ganz’s Observation “Overcorrection” of hip dysplasia with periacetabular osteotomy “Iatrogenic retroversion” Hip pain with flexion (Pincer type anterior impingement)
10
Normal Cam Pincer
11
Hip “History” Arthrosis Insidious onset Constant Ache Walking on level ground Nocturnal symptoms Pre-arthrosis Sudden onset Sharp, intermittent pain Pain primarily with torsional activities Pain with prolonged flexion
12
Hip Exam: Gait “Antalgic” – shortened stance phase secondary to pain “Trendelenberg” – contralateral hip drops during stance phase secondary to abductor dysfunction “Abductor Lurch” – torso sways over affected leg during stance phase secondary to abductor dysfunction
13
Hip Specific Tests Trendelenberg Test Log Roll Passive External Rotation in Extension “C” test Thomas Test Stinchfield Test Ober’s Test Anterior Impingement Test (FADDIR) Posterior Impingement Test DEXTRIT (aka McCarthy)- Dynamic External Rotatory Impingement Test DIRIT- Dynamic Internal Rotatory Impingement Test Scour Test Ober Abduction internal rotation FABER
14
Hypermobility Beighton’s Criteria for hypermobility (3 of 5) – Thumb to forearm – SF extension > 90 – Elbow hyperextension > 10 – Knee hyperextension > 10 – Palms to floor
15
Findings Drehmann’s Sign- Obligate abduction and external rotation with forward flexion of the hip Coxa Saltans Interna- Iliopsoas tendon over the ileopectineal eminence Coxa Saltans Externa- Iliotibial band over greater trochanter
16
Imaging of the Young Hip Start with plain films: 1.Supine AP Pelvis Centered Low with Legs internally rotated 15 degrees 2.Cross table lateral of the hip with the leg 15 internally rotated 15 degrees 3.Dunn 45 of the Hip
17
Technique: AP – Supine with legs 15 degrees internally rotated – Film-focus distance: 1.2 meters – Point of center: midway between ASIS & Pubis Cross Table Lateral – Leg 15 degrees internally rotated – Perpendicular to long axis of femoral neck
18
Technique Dunn 45 – Hip flexed 45 degree, abducted 20, in neutral rotation
20
“ Diagnosis can only be made from a technically sound and properly positioned AP radiograph of the pelvis” -Ganz
21

22
LEGS EXTERNALLY ROTATED
23
ROTATION?
24
MALROTATION
25
TILT? Distance from tip of coccyx to superior edge of symphasis? 1 – 3 cm Siebenrock et al. From Sacrococcygeal junction: Male = 47.3 mm Female = 32.3 mm
28
POINT OF CENTER? ASIS PUBIS

Ilioischial Line Iliopectineal Line
31

33
Physeal Scar
34
Hip Imaging Lingo Acetabular Depth Acetabular Extrusion Acetabular Inclination Femoral Head Coverage Acetabular Version Head Sphericity Head-Neck Offset Congruency
35
Acetabular Depth The relationship of the true floor of the acetabulum to the ilioischial line Extrusion Index
36
AE E/A+E Normal = 25% Extrusion Index
37
Cox Profunda -Floor of fossa medial to ilioischial line - Extrusion Index 0
38
Cox Profunda -Floor of fossa medial to ilioischial line - Extrusion Index 0
39
Acetabular Protrusio -Femoral head to ilioischial line -Negative Extrusion Index
40
Acetabular Inclination (Tonnis angle) Horizontal line between center of femoral heads Line connected the medial and lateral edge of the sourcil
41
Acetabular Inclination (Tonnis angle) Negative angle = overcoverage/pincer
42
Acetabular Inclination (Tonnis angle) High positive angle = dysplasia
43
Lateral Center Edge Angle (of Wiberg) Normal = 25 - 40
44
Sphericity Measured by containment of physeal scar with circle of femoral head
45
Acetabular Version Relationship of walls to one another Ischial spine within pelvis Relationship of posterior wall to center of femoral head
46
Dysplasia Low CE angle (< 25) Elevation of acetabular inclination Elevation of Extrusion index
47
Retroverted Acetabulum Cross over sign Ischial Spine within pelvis
