ObjectiveTo evaluate the short-term effectiveness of arthroscopic surgery combined with direct anterior approach for hip diseases.MethodsA retrospective study was performed on 23 cases with hip diseases (23 hips), who were treated with the arthroscopic surgery combined with direct anterior approach, between January 2015 and December 2016. There were 9 males and 14 females, aged from 27 to 49 years (mean, 38.6 years). There were 11 cases of posterior dislocation of the hip associated with femoral head fracture (Pipkin typeⅠ) and 7 cases of femoral neck fracture (Garden type Ⅳ). And the interval between injury and operation was 2-8 days (mean, 4.3 days). Five cases were osteonecrosis of femoral head at precollapse stage which were rated as stageⅡA according to Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) classification system. The disease duration was 3-8 months (mean, 5.9 months). The preoperative Harris hip score, Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Postel score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) were 57.3±8.2, 11.2±3.6, 3.2±1.5, and 7.2±1.3, respectively.ResultsAll the wounds healed primarily. Lateral femoral nerve injury occurred in 3 cases. All patients were followed up 8-19 months (mean, 15.6 months). Bone union achieved in all patients after 14-19 weeks (mean, 15.8 weeks) and no secondary osteoarthritis or heterotopic ossification occurred. At last follow-up, the Harris hip score (92.5±5.3), OHS (36.5±5.9), and Postel score (14.2±2.6) were significantly higher than preoperative scores (t=45.274, P=0.000; t=36.586, P=0.000; t=32.486, P=0.000), and VAS score (1.8±0.9) was significantly lower than preoperative score (t=21.314, P=0.000).ConclusionArthroscopic surgery combined with direct anterior approach for hip diseases can effectively relieve pain, improve hip function, and obtain the satisfactory short-term effectiveness.
