Abstract

We evaluated the percentage of patients with acetabular labral tears who have a structural hip abnormality detectable by conventional radiography. Records from our institution from 1996 through 2002 were reviewed to identify all patients with labral tears. Patients were excluded who had classic hip dysplasia, advanced osteoarthritis, or a history of pelvic or femoral osteotomy. The hip radiographs were evaluated for abnormalities of Tönnis angle, center-edge angle of Wiberg, acetabular version, femoral neck-shaft angle, congruency between the femoral head and acetabulum, anterior femoral head-neck offset, and presence of femoral head osteophytes. Twenty-seven of the 31 patients (87%) had at least one abnormal finding and 35% had more than one abnormality. Ten patients had a retroverted acetabulum, 16 had coxa valga, 11 had an abnormal femoral head-neck offset, and 14 had osteophytes on the femoral head. Four of 31 patients (13%) had no identifiable structural abnormalities. To our knowledge, this is the first study to document that the majority of patients with labral tears have a structural hip abnormality detectable with conventional radiographs. Familiarity with these structural abnormalities is important for early detection and accurate diagnosis, and may impact optimal treatment planning and prognosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
