Postoperative alpha angle seems to be important for the achievement of clinical significance at a minimum 5-year follow-up after primary hip arthroscopy.

Abstrakt:	The purpose of the present study was to clarify whether there is an association of postoperative alpha value with functional scores or progression of osteoarthritis at X-rays at the midterm after arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome with femoral osteoplasty, labral repair or debridement and rim trimming. A retrospective review of prospectively gathered data from 2013 to 2017 was performed. All patients who underwent first-time unilateral hip arthroscopy for FAI resection with 5-year follow-up were included. Patient-reported outcomes included the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and Visual Analog Scale for Pain (Pain VAS). The progression of osteoarthritis (Tönnis grade) and radiological parameters (alpha angle, lateral center-edge angle [LCEA] and head-neck offset) were evaluated. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between significant variables and achievement of patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) and degree of osteoarthritis. We identified 52 patients with a minimum 5-year follow-up (average, 6.7 years). The average patient age was 33.9 ± 11.5 years. There were 19 (36.5%) female patients. The mHHS improved from 60.1 ± 13.4 before surgery to 86.8 ± 14 after surgery ( P < 0.001). The Pain VAS decreased from 6.21 before surgery to 2 after surgery ( P < 0.001). Overall, 69% achieved the PASS for mHHS. The ROC curve for postoperative alpha angle demonstrated acceptable discrimination between patients achieving a fifth-year PASS value and those who did not have an area under the curve of 0.72. Patients having a postoperative alpha angle of ≤48.3° achieved the fifth-year PASS value at a significantly higher rate than patients having a postoperative alpha angle of >48.3° ( P = 0.002). The postoperative alpha angle is a predictor of the achievement of the fifth-year PASS value for the mHHS. A threshold of ≤48.3° had a sensitivity of 0.75 and a specificity of 0.69 to predict positivity. Level of evidence IV.
