The Principles of Hip Joint Preservation
Matthew J Kraeutler1, Kristian Samuelsson, Omer Mei-Dan
1From the Department of Orthopedics, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, CO (Dr. Kraeutler, and Dr. Mei-Dan), and the Department of Orthopaedics, Institute of Clinical Sciences, University of Gothenburg Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg, MöIndal, Sweden (Dr. Kraeutler, and Dr. Samuelsson).
Summary
Hip joint preservation hinges on addressing femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), dysplasia, and femoral torsion. Comprehensive surgical treatment of all contributing factors is crucial for long-term hip health.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Hip Preservation
- Biomechanical Engineering
Background:
- Hip joint health is influenced by femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), hip dysplasia/instability, and femoral torsion.
- These conditions negatively impact the acetabular labrum and femoroacetabular cartilage.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the primary factors in hip joint preservation.
- To outline appropriate surgical interventions for these hip pathologies.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of hip preservation strategies.
- Analysis of surgical techniques for FAI, dysplasia, and femoral torsion.
Main Results:
- Surgical options include femoroplasty/acetabuloplasty for FAI, periacetabular osteotomy for dysplasia, and derotational femoral osteotomy for torsion.
- Addressing all underlying factors, not just isolated injuries like labral tears, is vital.
Conclusions:
- Comprehensive surgical management of FAI, dysplasia, and femoral torsion is essential for successful hip joint preservation.
- Failure to address all contributing pathologies can compromise long-term hip joint health.

01:23Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

01:07Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
1.3K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.

01:16Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
2.4K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

01:10Ankle Joint
1.5K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

01:19Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus
3.1K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

01:17Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
2.2K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...
