Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Arthroscopy
  • Imaging Techniques

Background:

  • Arthroscopic rim trimming for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) presents significant technical challenges.
  • Precise intraoperative assessment of acetabular rim resection is vital to avoid complications like hip instability or residual impingement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, practical, and readily available imaging technique for precise intraoperative acetabular rim assessment during arthroscopic FAI surgery.

Main Methods:

  • The technique utilizes fluoroscopic C-arm imaging with the hip under distraction.
  • A template of the planned acetabular rim resection is drawn on the monitor using a marking pen.
  • Intermittent fluoroscopic images and a stationary C-arm device assess superior and anterior rim resection, guiding the surgeon to match the drawn template.

Main Results:

  • The described method allows for controlled and precise acetabular rim resection.
  • It enables surgeons to visually match the actual resection to the intended template, ensuring accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • This novel fluoroscopic imaging technique offers a simple and practical solution for precise acetabular rim resection in arthroscopic FAI surgery.
  • It enhances surgical accuracy, potentially reducing the risks associated with over- or under-resection.
