Arthroscopic Repair of Acetabular Labral Tears Associated with Femoroacetabular Impingement: 7–10 Years of Long-Term Follow-up Results

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: The purpose of this study is to report the long-term follow-up results of arthroscopic repair of acetabular labral tears with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
Methods: Of 45 patients who underwent arthroscopic labral repair under the diagnosis of acetabular labral tears with FAI from January 2008 to December 2010 and met our inclusion criteria, 41 patients who were available for a long-term follow-up were included in the analysis. We compared the long-term follow-up results with the previously reported short-term follow-up results of the same patients. The mean follow-up period was 92.4 months (range, 85 to 117 months). There were 21 males and 20 females, and their mean age at surgery was 34.6 years (range, 16 to 54 years). A modified Harris hip score (mHHS), visual analog scale (VAS), hip outcome score-activity of daily living (HOS-ADL), hip outcome score-activity-sport-specific subscale (HOS-SSS), and patient satisfaction were used for evaluation of the clinical results and Tönnis grade for detection of early osteoarthritis (OA).
Results: The mean VAS score decreased from 6.4 points to 1.8 points (p < 0.001), the mean mHHS increased from 59.5 points to 86.8 points (p < 0.001), and the mean HOS-ADL and HOS-SSS increased from 58.3 and 51.2, respectively, to 85.2 and 82.4, respectively (p < 0.001), between the preoperative and last follow-up assessment. The mean patient satisfaction score was 7.6 of 10. The average Tönnis grade at the last follow-up (0.67; range, 0 to 3) was not significantly different from the preoperative average (0.51; range, 0 to 1). Only one case was converted to total hip arthroplasty because of progression of OA at 8 years after surgery. Five cases of secondary arthroscopic surgery were performed before maximum 5 years postoperatively because of labro-synovial adhesion (three cases), pullout of the suture anchor (one case) or symptomatic heterotrophic ossification (one case).
Conclusions: The clinical and radiological long-term follow-up revealed that improvement after arthroscopic labral repair and osteoplasty for FAI were maintained in most cases without significant progression of arthritis. Anatomical recovery of the acetabular labrum was associated with the improvement of clinical symptoms.
