  9. Article ; Online: Combined Borderline Acetabular Dysplasia and Increased Femoral Anteversion Is Associated With Worse Outcomes in Female Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine the relationship of increased femoral anteversion and borderline acetabular dysplasia on the outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement in a female cohort of patients.
    Methods: This is a retrospective study of female patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement. All patients had preoperative radiographs and computed tomography scans from which lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and femoral anteversion were measured. Patient outcome was quantified by preoperative and postoperative International Hip Outcome Tool 12-item instrument (iHOT-12). All patients had follow-up at 2 to 4 years postoperatively. Published values for minimum clinically important difference, substantial clinical benefit (SCB), patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS), and a normal or abnormal hip were used to determine outcome as well as the final score and delta of the iHOT-12.
    Results: There were 243 female patients included in the cohort (83% follow-up) who had iHOT-12 scores at 2- to 4-year follow-up (mean 36.9 months). Female patients with combined LCEA ≤25° and femoral anteversion >20° had lower final IHOT-12 scores (P = .001) and delta iHOT-12 (P = .010) and were less likely to achieve a normal hip (P = .013), minimum clinically important difference (P = .018), SCB (P < .001), or PASS (P < .001) and more likely to have an abnormal hip (P = .002). In addition, patients with an LCEA ≤25° and normal femoral version were less likely to achieve a normal hip (P = .013), SCB (P < .001), and PASS (P < .001) compared with those with normal acetabular coverage (all P < .05). There was no difference in these outcome measures between the groups with an LCEA >25° with or without increased femoral version.
    Conclusions: Female patients with femoral anteversion >20° and borderline acetabular dysplasia did poorly after hip arthroscopy. However, those with increased femoral anteversion and normal acetabular coverage had outcomes similar to control hips.
    Level of evidence: Level IV, case series.

    Abstract Objective: To examine commonly used measures and analytic techniques of pain outcomes, using (1) a synthetic model, and (2) a cohort of patients who underwent total hip replacement.
    Methods: (1) A synthetic data set was constructed with 110 visual analog scale (VAS) values, 10 for each integer from zero to 10. Random noise was added to simulate measurement variations. Drift through time and a therapeutic trial were simulated. (2) Eighty-six patients were studied before and a mean of 17 months after total hip replacement. Assessments included a VAS pain scale, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Harris Hip Score, and SF-36 scores.
    Results: The clinical study mirrored the model. Correlation coefficients among treatment differences measured by the pain subscales of 4 instruments varied from 0.53 to 0.22. Floor effects obscured benefit. "Percentage improvement" created a directional bias, and had a hyperbolic distribution that invalidated means, variances, and related statistics. The best outcomes were undervalued when postoperative pain measures approached zero. Standardized means enabled pooling of data from the different instruments and facilitated measurement of the variations due to treatment, methods, and subjects, and other factors.
    Results: Outcome measures and analytic techniques are often flawed because of floor and ceiling effects, non-normal distributions, and other problems. Outcomes expressed as ""percentage improvement" are inappropriate; changes should be reported in the observed units. Revisions of standard outcome measures to relate pain with activity can better document outcomes, especially favorable results.
