Viscosupplementation in the Hip Following Hip Arthroscopy

NCT02476903 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2015-06-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hip arthroscopy is a rapidly evolving procedure that has seen an exponential increase in the number of cases performed yearly. With hip arthroscopy still in its infancy in relation to knee and shoulder arthroscopy, there are still many questions yet to be answered. Axioms that were once thought to be true regarding indications and treatment for hip arthroscopy are continually being revised. As with the knee and shoulder before it, the hip is now graduating into treatment avenues that were otherwise thought to only be possible through an open surgical procedure.

Viscosupplementation in patients post arthroscopy with known articular cartilage injury has been shown to be efficacious. The pathophysiology of hyaline degradation during the arthritic process within the knee has been studied, and with this understanding has grown the widespread usage of viscosupplementation. While questions still exist regarding the effectiveness of viscosupplementation in non-weightbearing joints, it appears the benefits seen in the weight bearing joints, such as the knee, are apparent
