Hip Muscle Strength Recovery after Hip Arthroscopy in a Series of Patients with Symptomatic Femoroacetabular Impingement

2014

International audience; Purpose: The aim of the study was to prospectively evaluate hip muscle strength in a series of patients with symptomatic FAI after hip arthroscopy. Methods: Hip muscle strength of eight patients (age: 29 +/- 10 years) was evaluated preoperatively and 2.5 years after hip arthroscopy, and was compared to eight matched controls. Maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) strength was measured for all hip muscle groups. At follow-up, we used the symptom-specific well-being outcome to assess the acceptability of the health state related to the hip. Results: Patients showed MVC strength increases for all hip muscles (9-59%, P<.05). At follow-up, only hip flexor MVC strength was l…

Classificazione ed imaging delle sindromi conflittuali della caviglia

2010

Obiettivi didattici: Rivedere la classificazione ed illustrare i vari aspetti delle sindromi conflittuali alla radiografia convenzionale (RC), alla tomografia computerizzata multistrato (TCms), all'ecografia (US), alla risonanza magnetica (RM) ed all'artro-RM. Introduzione: Le sindromi conflittuali della caviglia dipendono da molte cause che possono essere distinte dal tipo di tessuto che determina il conflitto (osseo, fibroso, sinoviale).In generale, la classificazione delle sindromi conflittuali della caviglia prende in considerazione la sede anatomica relativa all'articolazione tibio-tarsica, e pertanto esse possono essere classificate in anteriore, antero-mediale, antero-laterale, poste…

Hip muscle function in patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement

2014

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a pathomechanical process of the hip joint, which could lead to hip pain and functional disability. Aim of this thesis was to investigate hip muscle function in patients with a symptomatic FAI. Hip muscle function was first investigated before patients underwent any surgical treatment for managing FAI. It was shown that they present with reduced hip muscle strength (i.e., muscle weakness), probably due to hip muscle inhibition. Nevertheless, hip muscle weakness was not associated with exaggerated hip muscle fatigue. Hip muscle strength recovery was then evaluated in a series of patients after hip arthroscopy to treat FAI. These patients demonstrated a g…

Femoro-acetabular impingement. Classification, diagnosis and treatment.

2010

Introduction: The femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) is the result of a number of congenital or acquired pathologies of the hip and it has as main pathogenetic element an abnormal contact between the two joint components (acetabulum and proximal femoral epiphysis). Mainly male young adults, often athletes, are affected because of the repetition of gestures responsible for the conflict in these subjects. Classification: FAI has specific clinical and radiological characteristics and it can be classified into three types: 1. CAM type (femoral). 2. PINCER type (acetabular). 3. CAM-PINCER mixed-type. Diagnosis: It is based on medical hystory (young and active patients, diseases or previous hip …

A painful tic convulsif due to double neurovascular impingement

2011

Here we present the case of a 50-year-old man suffering from "painful tic convulsif", on the left side of the face, i.e., left trigeminal neuralgia associated with ipsilateral hemifacial spasm. An angio-MRI scan showed a neurovascular confliction of left superior cerebellar artery with the ipsilateral V cranial nerve and of the left inferior cerebellar artery with the ipsilateral VII cranial nerve. Neurophysiological evaluation through esteroceptive blink reflex showed the involvement of left facial nerve. An initial carbamazepine treatment (800 mg/daily) was completely ineffective, so the patient was shifted to lamotrigine 50 b.i.d. that was able to reduce attacks from 4 to 6 times per day…

Rehabilitation and return to sport after bilateral open surgery for femoroacetabular impingement in a professional ice hockey player: A case report

2015

International audience; Background: The aim of this case report was to describe the rehabilitation and return to sport of a professional ice hockey player with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FM) after bilateral open hip surgery.Case description: A 21-year-old professional ice hockey player with symptomatic FAT underwent bilateral surgical hip dislocations within a 6-week time period. After the second surgery (right hip), he experienced right hip pain due to iliotibial band dehiscence, which required additional revision surgery. The athlete underwent a standardized rehabilitation protocol. Hip muscle strength was objectively assessed during rehabilitation.Outcomes: Iliotibial band…
