Case 10 Flashcards
(14 cards)
59 yo recreational active female with recalcitant right hip pain. moderate to severe.
short-incomplete response to intra-articular cortisone
NSAIDs, PT, activity modification for 6 months
recommend hip arthroplasty consultation
Laid Crepe with high risk scope
wanted to remain active with running

Patient is a 59yo active runner who presented with 6 months of mechanical hip pain with running. Moderate to severe radiating into joint. sharp stabbing. moderate to severe in intensity.
I saw the patient nearly monthly for counseling on hip arthroscopy and conservative management.
Patient had an insufficient response to an intraarticular cortisone injection.
surgical goal was for a chance to continue to run/be active
no frog leg

Physical exam notable for well-appearing fit female
Pain with flexion, internal rotation C/w impingement
negative log roll
TTP over anterior hip
NVI
MR-arthrogram

Superior Cam Lesion
Retroversion with large pincer
Tonnis grade 1 (no cysts)
greater than 2mm joint space
adequate Pelvis tilt
moderate osteoarthriis
I
The labrum demonstrates some anterosuperior degenerative blunting but otherwise maintains its normal triangular morphology. There is moderately advanced anterosuperior joint space narrowing and cartilage loss consistent with osteoarthritis.
The morphology of the femoral head and neck are unremarkable and there are no findings to suggest femoroacetabular impingement.


Ordered for further characterization of OA/FAI measurements, intra-op tools
Findings are compatible with right hip osteoarthritis, concordant with MR arthrogram of right hip on 8/23/2019.


radiology read of arthritis on radiographic interpretation
HIP at risk
with radiographic measurements of FAI
no absolute contraindication to hip arthroscopy with imaging

- Failure of conservative measures for over 6 Months
- Medically healthy
- desire to run/not accepting arthroplasty limitations
- accepting of a high failure rate to THA
- Radigraphic FAI
- “The surgical alterternative is the arthroscopy complication/failure”

- Combined severe FAI
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Unstable labral tear
- Hip synovitis
- Hip loose body
a





collar osteophyte removed
less overcoverage/retroversion
progressive sclerosis
joint space narrowing
post-op 2 weeks, then 4 Months
COVID restrictions
6 months functional assessment
HPI

underwent hip arthroplasty within a year
