Specific Protocoled Physiotherapy Treatment for Subjects Surgically Treated for Femoroacetabular Syndrome

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Hip Injuries

• Registration Number: NCT03959254
• Lead Sponsor: Cardenal Herrera University

Brief Summary

Physiotherapy treatment protocols described in the bibliography after hip surgery are most of them nonspecific. An experimental study is proposed to determine the effectiveness of a protocolized treatment of physiotherapy in the postoperative treatment of femoroacetabular impingement treated by arthroscopy. This study tries to adapt the non-specific post-surgical physiotherapy treatment protocols of the hip to the characteristics of the femoroacetabular impingement and its arthroscopic surgery.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: COMPLETED
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 90

Inclusion Criteria

• Having suffered hip / groin pain for at least 3 months.
• Be a patient diagnosed with femoroacetabular syndrome by an orthopedic surgeon based on symptoms, clinical signs and diagnostic imaging.
• To have signed the informed consent.
• Have time available to follow a 14-week physiotherapy treatment program.
• Be programmed for hip arthroscopy.
• Be able to speak and understand the Spanish language.
• Be between 18 and 50 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria

• To have received physiotherapy treatment in the last three months.
• Having previously received hip surgery.
• Subjects with previous deformities in the femur that severely alter joint mobility such as Perthes disease, gliding of the upper femoral epiphysis or avascular necrosis, acetabular fracture, hip dislocation or fracture of the femoral neck.
• Evidence of preexisting osteoarthritis, defined as Tonnis grade> 2
• Subjects with previous deformities in the pelvis that severely alter joint mobility.
• Any other cardiovascular, psychological and / or cognitive diagnosed pathology that impedes the correct understanding of the study and prevents objective study variables.
• Subjects that are under the effects of anesthetics or muscle relaxants that mask the sensation of the patient before the techniques of the study.
• Professional athletes.
• Subjects in which hip arthroscopy is contraindicated.

• Study Design: PARALLEL

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Hip Range of Mobility	14 weeks	The range of mobility is evaluated by goniometry.
Functionality of the hip	14 weeks	Modified Harris Hip Score Questionnaire (mHHS) is used to determine the functionality of the hip. The values are between 0 (lowest functionality) and 100 (normal function). The sub scales the subscales that compose it are hip pain (from 0 to 44), lameness in walking (from 0 to 11), need for walking aids (0 to 11), walked distance (0 to 11), ability to going up or down stairs (0 to 4), putting on shoes (0 to 4), sitting down without pain (0 to 5) and possibility of using public transport (0 to 1), with 0 being always the worst value.
Fabere Test	14 weeks	The patient's hip is flexed, abducted and externally rotated by placing the external malleolus on the knee of the contralateral leg. The pelvis is stabilized and an overpressure is applied to the inside of the knee. It is positive if the pain in the buttock or groin is reproduced. Test with inter-evaluator reliability in Kappa values (95% CI) of 0.60
Ober test	14 weeks	Patient in lateral decubitus position. The evaluator flexes the knee that is evaluated at 90º and abducts and extends the hip until it is level with the trunk. The evaluator lets the gravity bring the hip on aduction as possible. Test with inter-evaluator reliability of 0.90
Intensity of pain	14 weeks	The intensity of pain is evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The values are between 0 (absence of pain) to 10 (maximum intensity pain)
Faddir Test	14 weeks	Flexion, adduction and internal rotation test. The supine patient, the evaluator patiently brings the patient's hip up to 100º flexion and adduction while applying internal rotation. It is positive if pain in the groin is reproduced. Test with inter-evaluator reliability in Kappa values of 0.48
