What Is the Impact of a CAM Impingement on the Gait Cycle in Patients with Progressive Osteoarthritis of the Hip?
Source abstract
Abstract
(1) Background: The femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) type cam leads to a conflict between the acetabular rim and a bony thickening of the femoral neck junction. While maximal excursions in flexion, adduction and internal rotation provoke pain, the aim of this study was to analyze if a cam morphology shows an impact on gait pattern. (2) Methods: Fifty-five patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis performed gait analysis before hip replacement as well as three, six and 12 months postoperatively. Thirty-three (60%) of them presented an FAI type cam. An ANOVA was used to compare the hip angles in sagittal, frontal and transversal planes between patients with a FAI type cam (group “+cam”) and without (group “−cam”). (3) Results: Before surgery the patients of the +cam-group showed a tendency towards a reduced flexion and internal rotation at the heel strike (p > 0.05). Over time, the differences were adjusted by total hip arthroplasty. (4) Conclusions: We did not find any differences in the gait analysis of patients with a FAI type cam compared to patients without.
