AANA Hip Arthroscopy - September 2024-Residual Pediatric Deformities

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Steve Aoki from the University of Utah discusses residual pediatric hip deformities, focusing on slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and Perthes hips. SCFE severity varies, with arthroscopic treatment showing promising results in mild to moderate cases by reducing pain and improving function. Techniques include screw removal and osteochondroplasty. Perthes hips present greater challenges due to deformity variability, often associated with dysplasia and osteonecrosis. Arthroscopic success is limited to select cases with reasonable hip shape and coverage, while severe deformities yield less consistent outcomes. Overall, these hips remain abnormal morphologically, but targeted arthroscopic treatment can enhance patient quality of life.
