Use of Intraoperative Technology to Perform a Cam Resection During Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome

Background: The learning curve for the surgical treatment of cam deformities in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) presents a challenge young or inexperienced surgeons, with leading cause failed hip arthroscopy being incomplete resection. Historically, alpha angle measurements are typically used perioperatively to both diagnose deformity and evaluate adequacy computer-assisted Styker HipCheck system offers surgeon real-time measurements, assisting execution Indications: indication use is any arthroscopic procedure requiring osteochondroplasty deformity. Advantages include shortened operative time; reduced risk inadequate over-resection; accelerated curve; no requirement preoperative computed tomographic imaging pre-planning; noninvasive, portable, not additional instruments; increased patient satisfaction; allowance repeated quantitative visual assessment, which particularly beneficial more difficult regions, such as posteromedial posterolateral, view femoral head/neck. Technique Description: Briefly, after intra-articular procedures complete, peripheral compartment accessed. We prefer T-type capsulotomy. Next, registered on Stryker software, automatically calculating angles dynamically moved through 6 positions. A standard resection then performed. Once assessed again same positions ensure adequate has been Results: When comparing patients FAIS undergoing computer-guided resection, interventions demonstrated successful reduction difference degree In addition, various views exhibited good correlations clinical radiographs. Discussion: intraoperative allows automated angles. Furthermore, instantaneous feedback at desired position hip. This technology may offer less experienced surgeons an aid when performing setting impingement.
