RT Journal Article T1 Subspine femoroacetabular impingement: retrospective study of a series of patients treated by hip arthroscopic resection A1 Francés Borrego, Alberto A1 Martínez García, Álvaro A1 Baño Barragán, Laura del A1 Rodríguez González, Alberto A1 Echevarría Marín, Marta A1 Marco Martínez, Fernando AB Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common hip pathology that causes pain and functional limitation in young patients. subspine femoroacetabular impingement (SFAI) is an increasingly diagnosed extra-articular subtype that occurs from mechanical conflict of the anteroinferior iliac spine (AIIS) with the cervico-diaphyseal junction during hip flexion, which is poorly described in the literature.Questions/purposes: We aimed to describe the clinical, functional, and radiological results of the arthroscopic treatment of a group of patients with SFAI treated in our Hip Unit.Study design: Case series.Methods: We present a retrospective study of ten patients with SFAI treated between 2013 and 2020 with arthroscopic resection. Clinical results were assessed with scales such as visual analog scale (VAS); modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS). Radiological results were assessed with radiological measurements, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) reconstructions.Results: Six patients had a Type III AIIS and four of them had Type II. Two patients had previously been surgically treated for FAIS. The range of motion improved in flexion from 107 ± 11 degrees before surgery to 127.5 ± 6 degrees (p = 0.005). MHHS improved from 48.1 (38-75.3) before surgery to 83.1 (57-91) (p = 0.007) and HOOS improved from 65.2 (58-75) to 89 (68.1-100) (p = 0.007). VAS improved from 7.3 (5-9) pre-surgical to 2.5 (0-8) post-surgical (p = 0.005). We did not have significant complications except for an asymptomatic case of heterotopic ossification (Brooker I).Conclusion: Arthroscopic decompression of AIIS in SFAI patients is a safe procedure that provides satisfactory short-term functional results, improving clinical symptoms, function, sports performance, and range of motion in our study.
