Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine whether the presence of spine pathology affects clinical outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in the setting of hip-spine syndrome (HSS) METHODS: A systematic review of PubMed and Cochrane was conducted. Primary research articles evaluating patient-reported outcomes (PRO) after hip arthroscopy for FAIS in the presence of concomitant spine pathology were considered RESULTS: Literature review identified 12 studies meeting criteria. In 2109 FAIS patients undergoing hip arthroscopy, 591 had concomitant spine pathology. Baseline PROs in the hip-spine (modified Harris Hip Score [mHHS]: 39.8-65.29 vs 56.9-78.8, 8 studies; non-arthritic hip score [NAHS]: 42.2-51.5 vs 68.2-75.2, 4 studies; hip outcome score-activities of daily living [HOS-ADL]: 45.9-71.1 vs 49.3-89.51, 9 studies; hip outcome score-Sport (HOS-Sport): 22.8-49.6 vs 50.6-73.1, 3 studies; international hip outcome tool-33 [iHOT-12]: 38.0 vs 66.0, 1 study; visual analog scale [VAS] Pain: 6.43-6.56 vs 1.18-3.60, 3 studies; VAS Satisfaction: 7.18-7.46 range at follow-up, 2 studies) and control (mHHS: 39.3-64.9 vs 70.2-92.6, 6 studies; NAHS: 42.8-54.2 vs 74.0-87.1, 4 studies; HOS-ADL: 59.0-76.4 vs 75.4-97.1, 4 studies; HOS-Sport: 38.1-55.1 vs 60.9-93.9, 3 studies; iHOT-12: 43.4 vs 89.8, 1 study; VAS Pain: 6.18-6.22 vs 1.82-3.44, 2 studies; VAS Satisfaction: 7.74-8.22 range at follow up, 2 studies). Minimal clinically important difference threshold rates achieved in the hip-spine (44.1-86.7, 4 studies) cohorts were significantly lower than control (79.4-88.2%; 4 studies) cohorts in 3 studies. Patient-acceptable symptomatic state threshold rates achieved in the hip-spine (42-63.5, 3 studies) cohorts were significantly lower than control (58.8-81.0, 3 studies) in 1 study. There was no statistical difference in complication and reoperation rates between cohorts CONCLUSION: FAIS patients with concomitant HSS have improved but inferior outcomes after hip arthroscopy compared to patients without HSS LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, systematic review.
