Diagnostic arthroscopy effectively identifies and treats hip pain causes in athletes, including labral and ligamentum teres tears. Early diagnosis is beneficial but requires careful consideration of extraarticular conditions and natural disease progression.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Arthroscopy

Background:

  • Disabling hip pain in athletic populations often presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Intraarticular hip pathologies, such as labral tears and ligamentum teres injuries, can be elusive.
  • Traditional open techniques may be less suitable for certain intraarticular hip conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the utility of diagnostic arthroscopy in identifying causes of disabling hip pain in athletes.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of operative arthroscopy in managing intraarticular hip pathologies.
  • To discuss the implications of early diagnosis versus intervention for hip disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 42 cases undergoing diagnostic and operative hip arthroscopy.

  • Analysis of intraoperative findings and postoperative symptom reduction.
  • Correlation of arthroscopic findings with clinical presentation.

    • Main Results:

    • Diagnostic arthroscopy successfully identified occult labral and chondral damage, and ligamentum teres rupture.
    • Operative arthroscopy led to symptom reduction in many patients with identified intraarticular pathology.
    • Arthroscopy provided an effective alternative to open surgery for conditions like loose bodies and osteophytes.

    Conclusions:

    • Hip arthroscopy is valuable for diagnosing and treating subtle intraarticular hip pain in athletes.
    • While early diagnosis is intuitive, it should be balanced against the prevalence of extraarticular pathology and the unknown natural history of some intraarticular conditions.
    • Further understanding of the natural history of intraarticular hip disorders is needed to optimize diagnostic and treatment strategies.
