Higher prevalence of concomitant shoulder labral tears in patients with femoroacetabular impingement
Arthroscopy Mar 16, 2019
Vahedi H, et al. - Researchers examined 1644 cases who underwent femoroacetabular osteoplasty (FAO) and labrum repair and 1055 subjects who underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to estimate the prevalence of concomitant symptomatic glenoid labral tears in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) cases vs candidates with ACL reconstruction. They observed subjects in the FAO group with slightly older age (36.3 years vs 32.3 years) and more commonly female in the FAO group (58.0%) compared with those in the ACL group (48.9%). They recorded 12.0% prevalence of shoulder labral tear for the FAO group vs 3.3% for the ACL group. They observed shoulder labral tears to be traumatic in only 43.4% of cases in the FAO group when compared with 80.0% of cases in the ACL group. They found an association between acetabular labral tear caused by FAI and shoulder labral lesions.
