Why the study?
Is there measurable hip translation between neutral and FABER positions in patients with symptomatic FAIS assessed by 3D CT?
Is there measurable hip translation between neutral and FABER positions in patients with symptomatic FAIS assessed by 3D CT?
In patients with symptomatic FAIS, 3D CT demonstrates measurable hip translation between neutral and FABER positions, highlighting the potential need for dynamic intraoperative examination and capsular plication.
May support dynamic intraoperative hip assessment in FAIS; leaves open whether capsular plication modifies translation or outcomes.
The current study demonstrates that there is measurable hip translation between the neutral and FABER positions in patients with symptomatic FAIS, which may cause hip microinstability. Furthermore, the study found an association between hip translation and both modifiable and nonmodifiable factors. This may indicate the need for more comprehensive preoperative surgical planning, intraoperative dynamic examination of the hip, and consideration of capsular plication in certain patients.
