BACKGROUND Synovial membrane inflammation is the most common finding presenting during hip arthroscopy, and may play a role in hip pain. We sought to determine the relationships between synovial cytokine levels, hip pain, and arthroscopic findings of the hip joint. METHODS We prospectively included 33 patients who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery (34 hips). For all patients, radiographs and severity of pain were evaluated preoperatively. During arthroscopy, we classified the chondral injury and synovitis, noted the incidence of labral tear and its instability, and a sample of the synovial membrane was harvested for quantitative PCR to determine levels of TNFα, IL1β, IL6, ADAMTS4, MMP1, and MMP3. The relationships between the levels of these cytokines, severity of hip pain, and the pathological findings during arthroscopy were examined. RESULTS Pain intensity and cytokine levels were not significantly different between patients with labral tear or instability and those without. By contrast, the expression of TNFα, IL1β, IL6, and MMP1 mRNA was significantly higher in patients with diffuse synovitis than in patients with focal synovitis. VAS score during rest showed significant positive correlation with IL6 (r = 0.45, p < 0.01), while VAS score on walking showed a positive correlation with TNFα (r = 0.47, p < 0.01), and ADAMTS4 (r = 0.51, p < 0.01). The modified Harris Hip pain score showed a negative correlation with TNFα (r = -0.38, p = 0.04) and IL6 (r = -0.58, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The severity of synovitis and chondral injury are considered to be more important in the pathology of hip pain than labral tear or instability. Inflammatory cytokines, especially TNFα and IL6 might play an important role in the pathogenesis of pain in patients indicated for hip arthroscopy, possibly depending on the severity of synovitis.

Cytokines as a predictor of clinical response following hip arthroscopy: minimum 2-year follow-up

Hip arthroscopy in patients with osteoarthritis has been shown to have suboptimal outcomes. Elevated cytokine concentrations in hip synovial fluid have previously been shown to be associated with cartilage pathology. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between hip synovial fluid cytokine concentration and clinical outcomes at a minimum of 2 years following h...

Arthroscopic surgery for synovial chondromatosis of the hip: a systematic review of rates and predisposing factors for recurrence.

PURPOSE Synovial chondromatosis of the hip is a benign condition whereby pain and functional limitations occur due to numerous intra-articular osteochondral fragments produced by a metaplastic synovium. Recurrence not only worsens morbidity but may lead to malignant transformation. With reported recurrence rates as high as 22% by open surgical approaches and given the increasing use of hip arth...

Acute non-infectious arthritis of the hip in rheumatoid arthritis: synovial membrane findings.

A case of acute hip pain in rheumatoid arthritis is presented, with synovial membrane findings. A patient with classical rheumatoid arthritis suffered three unusual bouts of sudden, severe but transient hip pain. The hips were clinically normal between these episodes. The clinical picture on two of these occasions strongly suggested septic arthritis. Although the synovial fluid was highly infla...

Serum and synovial fluid cytokine profiling in hip osteoarthritis: distinct from knee osteoarthritis and correlated with pain

BACKGROUND Inflammation is associated with the onset and progression of osteoarthritis in multiple joints. It is well known that mechanical properties differ between different joints, however, it remains unknown if the inflammatory process is similar/distinct in patients with hip vs. knee OA. Without complete understanding of the role of any specific cytokine in the inflammatory process, unders...
