A articulação do quadril (fêmur-acetábulo) é uma esférica que permite grande amplitude de movimentos, composta pela fossa acetabular osso ilíaco e cabeça fêmur. Por ser muita mobilidade, fica suscetível a algumas patologias como, por exemplo, o impacto femoroacetabular (IFA). O considerado como contato entre rebordo fêmur proximal. Na presença anatomia normal, pode ocorrer em amplitudes movimen...

To investigate whether capsular repair restores the initial hip distractive stability at time of arthroscopy. Patients who underwent primary arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement between March 2020 and August were prospectively enrolled in study traction protocol. Total joint space was measured on fluoroscopic images medial lateral edges sourcil 12.5 lb. axial intervals (up to 100 lbs) t...

Hip arthroscopy is an evolving surgical technique that has recently increased in popularity.Although femoroacetabular impingement was an important launch pad for this technique, extra-articular pathology has been described through hip endoscopy.Good clinical results in the medium term will allow improvements in this technique and increase its indications.

BACKGROUND In patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), acetabular rim trimming removes the offending area of the acetabular deformity in patients with pincer-type and mixed-type FAI to improve hip joint kinematics. Although the rationale for arthroscopic acetabular rim trimming in patients with FAI is well established, the amount of rim resection has not been quantified, and the thresh...

The etiology of degenerative joint disease of the hip remains unsolved. A precursor for some patients, especially younger ones, may be hip impingement. Repetitive microtrauma at maximal flexion can cause chronic pain from the abutment at the femoral head-neck junction caused by an abnormal offset. Chronic impingement from an aspherical head can lead to degenerative labral tears and acetabular c...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to show the preliminary results of using chitosan-based scaffold (BST-CarGel®) with microfracture for treatment of acetabular chondral delamination associated with femoroacetabular impingement. METHODS A prospective study was performed on 13 hips. Patients were selected in the age group between 18 and 50 years. Patients with delamination of acetabular c...
