Abstract:
We aimed to compare clinical and radiologic outcomes in patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), with and without a partial ligamentum teres (LT) tear, who underwent hip arthroscopy (HA) with ≥10 years of follow-up. Among the patients who underwent HA for a cam-type FAI diagnosis with a labral tear, 28 patients (28 hips) with a partial LT tear and 87 patients (99 hips) with an intact LT were assigned to Groups A and B, respectively. All patients underwent partial labral debridement and femoroplasty. Debridement and thermal shrinkage were performed for LT tears. The grade of chondral damage was measured intraoperatively. Clinical items were assessed preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Patients’ satisfaction with the surgery and changes in postoperative sports ability in those who had previously been active in sports were assessed at the last follow-up. The Tönnis grade was assessed preoperatively and at the last follow-up for radiologic evaluation. Chondral damage to the acetabular and femoral head detected intraoperatively was significantly different between the groups (P = 0.005 and P & lt; 0.001). At the last follow-up, Group A patients experienced more difficulty performing sports activities than Group B patients (P = 0.056), and significantly, more Group A patients had stopped exercising despite their active participation in sports preoperatively (P = 0.002). Regarding the Tönnis grade, significant differences were found only at the final follow-up (P = 0.020). Patients with partial LT tear showed a higher grade of chondral damage, experienced decreased exercise capacity and had significantly worsened Tönnis grades, suggesting hip osteoarthritis progression compared to those with an intact LT.
