PG - 1454-1461 LID - S0749-8063(23)00058-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.arthro.2023.01.024 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in anterior hip capsular thickness on pre- and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and their associated clinical outcomes in patients with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH). METHODS: A minimum 2-year follow-up retrospective analysis was performed using data from symptomatic patients with BDDH who underwent hip arthroscopy with routine capsular closure between 2018 and 2020. An available postoperative hip MRI was a prerequisite for study inclusion. Capsular thickness at the capsulotomy zone was measured on MRI. An analysis of the correlations between anterior capsular thickness differences and demographic factors (including age, sex, body mass index, laterality, preoperative alpha angle and lateral center-edge angle, cartilage lesion grade, follow-up time, and capsule management) was performed. Patients with unhealed or partially healed capsules (study group) were propensity-score matched 1:1 to patients with completely healed capsules based on age, sex, body mass index, and follow-up time. Comparisons and analyses of the following parameters were completed for both groups: patient-reported outcomes (Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living [HOS-ADL], Hip Outcome Score-Sports-Specific Subscale [HOS-SSS], International Hip Outcome Tool 12-component form [iHOT-12], and modified Harris Hip Score), visual analog scale scores, radiographic measures, performed procedures, and complications. RESULTS: Data were compiled for 59 patients' hips after patient selection. The majority of the repaired hip capsules remained closed (93.2%) at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Propensity-score matching was applied to distribute 25 subjects in the study group and 25 in the control group. The anterior capsule was significantly thinner postoperation in the study group (3.0 +/- 1.2 mm vs 4.1 +/- 0.6 mm; P < .001). Compared with the control group, patients in the study group had significantly inferior postoperative HOS-ADL (75.1 vs 83.5, P = .007), HOS-SSS (64.5 vs 77.1, P = .005), and iHOT-12 scores (56.1 vs 70.2, P = .006). In addition, patients in the study group were significantly less likely to achieve the minimum clinically important difference for the HOS-ADL score (52% vs 80%, P = .037) score and patient acceptable symptomatic state for the HOS-ADL score (32% vs 60%, P = .047). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of the repaired hip capsules in patients with BDDH remained closed but not all capsules completely healed at a minimum 2-year follow-up. Patients with an unhealed or partially healed capsule had inferior HOS-ADL, HOS-SSS, and iHOT-12 scores and were less likely to achieve the minimum clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptomatic state for the HOS-ADL score.
