|
Hip pain and loss of motion in young adults with previous Legg-Calve-Perthes-Disease may be caused by anterior femoro-acetabular impingement. Eleven patients (12 hips) with the chief complaint of groin pain and significant proximal femoral deformity were treated. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance arthrography in ten patients indicated labral injury and adjacent acetabular cartilage lesions in nine hips. A surgical dislocation of each hip confirmed that there was impingement induced intra-articular injury consistent with the pathology indicated on the MRI. Reshaping of the femoral head, with correction of the femoral head/neck offset, and treatment of the acetabular rim pathology was performed for each hip in conjunction with other procedures for the proximal femur. Correction of the impingement and increased range of motion could be visualized intra-operatively. At a mean follow-up of 33 months, half of all patients were pain-free and all had improvement in pain compared with preoperatively. Ten patients had an improved range of motion and two a slight decrease. No additional necrosis following the dislocation of the femoral head was seen.; |
