Aim

The current literature indicates that hip arthroscopy is safe in both adolescents and adults with good early outcomes but there are no available studies that directly compare the outcomes of this procedure for mixed indications between these two groups.

Method

This was a prospective cohort study of 102 consecutive supine hip arthroscopies in 96 patients (48 adolescent (<18) hips, mean age 13.9 years and 54 adult (>18 hips), mean age 33.8 years) at a tertiary referral paediatric and adult university hospital followed-up for a minimum of two years. Patient demographics, indications for surgery, Modified Harris Hip (MHHS) and Non-Arthritic Hip (NAHS) scores, operative interventions and complications were recorded.

Background

An increasing number of hip prostheses are inserted without bone cement. Experimental research has shown that hydroxyapatite (HA) coated implants are strongly fixated in the bone, which is believed to reduce the likelihood of prosthetic loosening. However, in recent years, there has been much debate about the role of HA particles in third-body polyethylene (PE) wear and formerly we have shown the revision rate to be high among older-design HA coated cups.

Purpose

We hypothesized increased PE wear-rate using HA coated acetabular components in comparison with non-HA coated components (control group).
