Currently, much is debated on the optimal treatment of borderline hips, being in the continuum between stable and unstable hips. The diagnosis of stability is often difficult but is a prerequisite for further treatment. Analysis includes a variety of radiographic parameters. We observed that unstable hips often had a crescent-like gadolinium collection in the postero-inferior joint space. We therefore questioned if the 'crescent sign' could be an indicator for hip instability? A retrospective comparative study was conducted including 56 hips in the instability group (treated with PAO) and 70 hips with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) as control group. Based on standard radiographic parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the association between hip instability and the 'crescent sign' was analyzed. For univariate group comparisons, the non-parametric Wilcoxon two sample test was used. Association between discrete variables was examined by means of chi-square tests. To examine predictive variables, logistic regression models were carried out. Most hips with a crescent sign belong to the instability group. A crescent sign has a sensitivity of 73.3% and specificity of 93% for instability. Based on our results, the crescent sign is a factor that is more prevalent in unstable hips. However, its absence does not exclude instability of the hip. If present, the specificity speaks strongly in favor for instability of the hip. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
