Management of Cartilage Injuries in the Hip

  • Chapter
Cartilage Repair Strategies

Abstract

Within the discipline of sports medicine, articular cartilage injuries in the hip have received considerably less attention than other joints, largely due to the difficulty that practitioners have had with accurate assessment. Non-arthritic cartilage injuries in the hip refer to focal chondral defects on either the femoral or acetabular side of the joint. Focal chondral defects on the femoral side are relatively uncommon, however, and may result from axial loading or shear injury of the head within the socket. Subluxation events of the femoral head seen in high-energy contact sports may result in these types of focal chondral injuries. Cartilage injuries on the acetabular side are more common and typically present as localized cartilage delamination in the anterior-superior weight-bearing zone of the acetabular rim. The most common underlying condition resulting in these types of cartilage defects is femoroacetabular impingement. This chapter discusses current surgical indications and techniques appropriate for management of these injuries as well as clinical and radiographic methods to detect focal cartilage lesions in the hip joint.
