Background:
Arthroscopy of the hip joint is the fastest growing treatment
modality in orthopedic surgery and has become an accepted therapeutic
modality in selected patients. As hip arthroscopy is becoming increasingly
common, the span of indications is also growing. There is a need for more
documentation of the treatment and outcomes of hip arthroscopy. A national
clinical database will be able to track treatment strategies and the related
clinical outcomes
Purpose / Aim of Study:
To present the first data from the national clinical
database for hip arthroscopy. Including patient demographics, arthroscopic
findings and therapeutic measures.
Materials and Methods:
The register is a webbased register and was initiated
and funded by the Danish Society for Arthroscopy and Sportstraumatology.
Inclusion started February 2012. The surgeon is including the patient at the
time of surgery and the operative and radiographic data are recorded. The
patients are entering PROMS preoperatively and at 1, 2 and 5 years follow-up.
Findings / Results:
From February to June 2012 155 patients were registered
by seven hospitals. 61 % were females. 99 % of patients recieved profylactic
antibiotic treatment and 31 % had antitrombotic treatment. Mean operating
time 95 minutes and mean leg traction time was 57 minutes. 85 % of the
patients had labral tears and 84 % of the patients had cartilage injury mainly
located at the acetabular side. 75 % of the patients with labral tear had a
refixation af the labrum with a mean of 2,8 suture anchors. 86 % of the patients
had cheilectomy performed, and 79 % of the patients acetabular rim trimming.
20 %
of the patients had a psoastenotomy performed.
Conclusions:
This is the first data from a national register for hip arthroscopy
and describes the arthroscopic findings and therapeutic measures for hip
arthroscopies performed in Denmark.
