Abstract
Objective
This paper aims to compare clinical and radiographic features of symptomatic and asymptomatic hips in patients with unilateral femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and to establish a correlation between these findings.
Methods
This is a retrospective study, based on medical records of patients diagnosed with FAIS between January 2014 and April 2017. The patients were assessed clinically as per the International Hip Outcome Tool 33 (iHOT33) questionnaire, visual analogue pain scale, hip rotation, and hip and knee muscular strength. The radiographic evaluation consisted of measurements of the alpha angle, crossover signal, acetabular retroversion index, ischial spine signal, and posterior wall sign.
Results
A total of 45 patients were included in the study, with mean time from symptom onset to diagnosis of 28.6 months and mean iHOT33 score was 39.9. The mean medial rotation was 20.5º in symptomatic hip and 27.2º in asymptomatic hip (p < 0.001). The crossover signal was positive on 68.9% of the symptomatic hips and 55.6% of the asymptomatic hips (p = 0.03). The mean retroversion index was 0.15 in symptomatic hips and 0.11 in asymptomatic hips (p = 0.02). There was a positive correlation between the total time of symptoms and medial hip rotation reduction (p = 0.04) and between body mass index (BMI) and medial hip rotation reduction (p = 0.02).
Conclusion
When comparing clinical and radiographic features, we observed reduction of medial rotation and increase of acetabular retroversion index in the symptomatic hip, as well as association between the long symptom time and the high BMI with loss of medial rotation of the hips.

Introduction
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is defined as a clinical disorder related to hip movement and composed of a triad, that is, symptoms, clinical signs, and imaging findings. It is divided into three clinical subtypes: cam (femoral morphological change), pincer (acetabular morphological change), and mixed (a combination of both previous subtypes).11 Griffin DR, Dickenson EJ, O'Donnell J, et al. The Warwick Agreement on femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI syndrome): an international consensus statement. Br J Sports Med 2016;50(19):1169-1176
In the pathophysiology of FAIS, there is an abnormal contact between the proximal end of the femur and the acetabulum during extremes of hip range of motion (ROM); due to frequent repetition, this contact can result in progressive lesions of the lip and acetabular cartilage. The condition is known as a common cause for hip pain and has gained recognition for its correlation with osteoarthritis.22 Ganz R, Parvizi J, Beck M, Leunig M, Nötzli H, Siebenrock KA. Femoroacetabular impingement: a cause for osteoarthritis of the hip. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2003;(417):112-120
The main symptom of FAIS is anterior/inguinal hip pain; the mechanical overload resulting from impingement may cause functional changes in the whole lower limb, such as reduced ROM and alterations in strength production, neuromuscular control, gait and more intense sportive activities. A systematic review concludes that this population performs compensations in the frontal, sagittal, and transverse planes during dynamic activities compared to asymptomatic controls.33 Diamond LE, Dobson FL, Bennell KL, Wrigley TV, Hodges PW, Hinman RS. Physical impairments and activity limitations in people with femoroacetabular impingement: a systematic review. Br J Sports Med 2015;49(04):230-242
The literature reports studies comparing clinical and radiographic parameters from patients with FAIS and asymptomatic controls; in addition, there are studies confronting features from dominant and non-dominant limbs.44 Diamond LE, Wrigley TV, Hinman RS, et al. Isometric and isokinetic hip strength and agonist/antagonist ratios in symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement. J Sci Med Sport 2016;19(09):696-701 However, few papers compare symptomatic and asymptomatic limbs from patients with unilateral FAIS in order to broaden the understanding of characteristics leading to hip pain.
This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic features of symptomatic and asymptomatic hips from patients with unilateral FAIS and to establish a correlation between such findings.
Method
This was a retrospective, observational, clinical, self-controlled study based on medical records from a single center. These medical records belonged to patients from a single-surgeon case series (Giancarlo Cavalli Polesello - GCP) who were followed between January 2014 and April 2017. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee under CAAE number 63881917.8.0000.5479; this manuscript was prepared using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology (Strobe) checklist.55 Malta M, Cardoso LO, Bastos FI, Magnanini MM, Silva CM. Iniciativa STROBE: subsídios para a comunicação de estudos observacionais. Rev Saude Publica 2010;44(03):559-565
Inclusion criteria were the following: complete medical records with information on both male and female patients diagnosed with unilateral FAIS, aged between 18 and 55 years and who signed the informed consent form. Medical records from patients previously submitted to orthopedic surgeries of the spine and/or lower limbs or reporting degenerative hip osteoarthritis, villonodular synovitis, synovial chondromatosis, malignant tumors of the hip and continuous use of opioid analgesics at the time of functional tests were excluded.
Medical records of 95 patients were initially examined, and the final sample consisted of 45 patients. Data from both hips were assessed, constituting a sample of 90 hips.
The diagnosis of FAIS was confirmed by personal history, physical examination and imaging findings. Clinical tests included flexion, adduction and internal rotation (FADIR) and flexion, abduction and external rotation (FABER),66 Pacheco-Carrillo A, Medina-Porqueres I. Physical examination tests for the diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement. A systematic review. Phys Ther Sport 2016;21:87-93 whereas imaging included an anteroposterior (AP) radiograph of the pelvis with the patient standing up, a lateral radiography of the femoral neck (Dunn or Ducroquet) and magnetic resonance imaging in patients with surgical indication for better lip and acetabular cartilage evaluation. In case of diagnostic doubt after all routine tests, signs and symptoms were reassessed after an intra-articular anesthetic injection. All patients were evaluated by a senior hip surgeon (> 20 years of experience) and a hip rehabilitation staff with more than 5 years of practice.
Clinical and Functional Evaluation
A standardized form was used for data extraction and clinical characterization of the sample, including gender, age (years), weight (kg), height (cm), body mass index (BMI, kg/m2), dominant limb, symptomatic limb, duration of symptoms (months), associated diseases, medications in use, and level of physical activity (Table 1).
Clinical data, including visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, hip medial rotation (RM) and lateral rotation (RL) ROM, hip and knee muscle strength scores, quality of life questionnaire International Hip Outcome Tool 33 (iHOT33) and pelvic AP radiographic measurements (alpha angle, cross-over signal, acetabular retroversion index, posterior wall signal, and ischial spine signal), were also collected. Evaluations were performed by two physical therapists with 5 years of experience in hip rehabilitation.
Measurements of hip rotation amplitudes were performed using a universal goniometer (Carci, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) with the patient in supine position and the stabilized pelvis on the stretcher with a belt to avoid compensations. The evaluated limb was positioned in 90º hip flexion and the contralateral limb was put in extension. The goniometer axis was positioned over the center of the knee on the side to be measured, with the fixed arm parallel to the ground and the movable arm following the tibial axis during medial and lateral femoral rotation (Figure 1).77 Gradoz MC, Bauer LE, Grindstaff TL, Bagwell JJ.

https://doi.org/10.1123/jsr.2017-0243...
The evaluators had class correlation index (CCI) above 0.80 for hip rotation ROM assessment.

Hip and knee muscular strength were measured with a manual dynamometer MicroFet2 (Hoggan Health Industries Inc., West Jordan, UT, USA).88 Sisto SA, Dyson-Hudson T. Dynamometry testing in spinal cord injury. J Rehabil Res Dev 2007;44(01):123-136 A stabilization belt was used to avoid compensations (Figure 2).99 Bohannon RW, Kindig J, Sabo G, Duni AE, Cram P. Isometric knee extension force measured using a handheld dynamometer with and without belt-stabilization. Physiother Theory Pract 2012;28 (07):562-568 Three isometric contractions of five seconds each were performed and averaged. The following muscle groups were evaluated: flexors, extensors, adductors, abductors, hip medial and lateral rotators, knee flexors and extensors muscles.1010 Magalhães E, Fukuda TY, Sacramento SN, Forgas A, Cohen M, Abdalla RJ. A comparison of hip strength between sedentary females with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2010;40(10):641-647 Strength was measured in kilograms (kg) and normalized according to body mass (kg) with the formula: (strength [kg]/body mass [kg]) x 100.1111 Robinson RL, Nee RJ. Analysis of hip strength in females seeking physical therapy treatment for unilateral patellofemoral pain syndrome. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2007;37(05):232-238 The evaluators had CCI above 0.80 for hip and knee muscle groups strength measurement using a manual dynamometer.

The iHOT33 score assessed FAIS-related limitations in the quality of life of our patients.1212 Mohtadi NG, Griffin DR, Pedersen ME, et al; Multicenter Arthroscopy of the Hip Outcomes Research Network. The Development and validation of a self-administered quality-of-life outcome measure for young, active patientswith symptomatic hip disease: the InternationalHip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33). Arthroscopy 2012; 28(05):595-605, quiz 606-10.e1 This questionnaire, used in young adults with non-arthritic hips, was adapted and translated into Portuguese in 2012.1313 Polesello GC, Godoy GF, Trindade CA, Queiroz MC, Honda E, Ono NK. Tradução e adaptação transcultural do instrumento de avaliação do quadril iHOT. Acta Ortop Bras 2012;20(02):88-92 Patients were allowed to fill in the form, which had 33 questions divided into four domains: symptoms and functional limitations, sports and recreational activities, job-related concerns, and social, emotional, and lifestyle concerns. These questions are evaluated by a scale with a 100 mm-long line. The patients were instructed to answer the question by drawing a bar at the line. The final score was the sum of answers, divided by the total number of questions.
Radiological Evaluation
All patients underwent an orthostatic digital AP hip radiography with 15º internal rotation of the lower limbs, a radius centered 1 cm above the pubic symphysis, ampoule 120 cm from the chassis and a 100% magnification to evaluate the alpha angle, acetabular retroversion index, ischial spine signal, crossover signal, and posterior wall signal.1414 Tannast M, Siebenrock KA, Anderson SE. Femoroacetabular impingement: radiographic diagnosis-what the radiologist should know. AJR Am J Roentgenol 2007;188(06):1540-1552
The alpha angle is a quantitative expression of femoral deformity. It was evaluated according the method described by Gosvig et al,1515 Gosvig KK, Jacobsen S, Palm H, Sonne-Holm S, Magnusson E. A new radiological index for assessing asphericity of the femoral head in cam impingement. J Bone Joint Surg Br 2007;89(10): 1309-1316 using as reference points the center of the femoral neck, the center of the femoral head and the beginning of the femoral deformity (Figure 3A). The authors categorized alpha angle values in orthostatic AP hip radiographies as normal, borderline and pathological. In the present study, diagnostic criteria for cam morphology were defined as pathological alpha angle values (≥ 83º for men and ≥ 57º for women).
The acetabular retroversion index (ARI) quantitatively expresses the cross-over signal, representing a radiographic sign of anterior acetabular overlay and was measured according to Diaz-Ledezma et al,1616 Diaz-Ledezma C,Novack T,Marin-PeñaO, Parvizi J. The relevance of the radiological signs of acetabular retroversion among patients with femoroacetabular impingement. Bone Joint J 2013;95-B(07):893-899 2013. The ARI is the quotient between the anterior border overlap length and the lateral distance of the acetabular cavity. Values above 0.20 are related to chondral injury (Figure 3B). The ischial spine signal, posterior wall signal and cross-over signal were described as present or absent.

Images were evaluated by an orthopedist working in the hip surgery area for more than five years and who was blind to the patient's name and symptomatic limb; CCI was performed in a previous study, with good correlation in all analyzed parameters.1717 Garcia AS,Gobetti M, Tatei AY, Falótico GG, Arliane GG, Puertas EB. Prevalência de sinais radiográficos de impacto femoroacetabular em indivíduos assintomáticos e não atletas. Rev Bras Ortop 2019;54(01):60-63
Statistical Analysis
Excel Office 2017 (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, USA) and SPSS 13.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) were used. Descriptive data were expressed as mean and standard deviation. Comparison between variables was made using Wilcoxon, paired Student t, McNemar, and Pearson tests. The p-value adopted as significant was 0.05.
Results
Mean medial rotation ROM was 20.56º ± 12.39º in symptomatic hips and 27.22 ± 12.59º in asymptomatic hips (p < 0.001). Mean values for lateral rotation were, respectively, 40.89 ± 8.2º and 44.67º ± 5.7º (p = 0.003).
In the muscle strength analysis, when comparing mean values from hip and knee muscle groups, symptomatic and asymptomatic limbs, there was a significant difference in hip adductors (p = 0.040) and knee flexors (p = 0.007). The remaining groups, including hip flexors (p = 0.915), hip extensors (p = 0.082), hip abductors (p = 0.090), medial hip rotators (p = 0.378), hip lateral rotators (p = 0.345) and knee extensors (p = 0.942), showed no differences (Figure 4).
Hip and knee dynamometry values normalized per body weight—comparison between symptomatic and asymptomatic hips (n = 90 hips).
Regarding the radiographic analysis, mean alpha angle was 74.06º ± 7.57 in symptomatic limbs and 71.76º ± 7.07 in asymptomatic limbs (p = 0.080). For the retroversion index, values were 0.15 ± 0.11 and 0.11 ± 0.11, respectively (p = 0.009). Cross-over signal was positive in 68.9% (31 hips) symptomatic limbs and 55.6% (25 hips) asymptomatic limbs (p = 0.030). Ischial spine signal was positive in 37.8% (17 hips) both symptomatic and asymptomatic limbs (p = 1.000). The posterior wall signal was positive in 42.2% (19 hips) symptomatic limbs and 40% (18 hips) asymptomatic limbs (p = 1.000).
In the correlation between all parameters evaluated, a statistical significance was found between time of symptoms onset and loss of medial rotation ROM in symptomatic hips (p = 0.040); r = 0.279 and between BMI and loss of medial rotation ROM in symptomatic hips (p = 0.020); r = 0.495.
Discussion
Comparing symptomatic and asymptomatic hips, the main findings were the reduced hip medial and lateral rotation ROM, reduced hip adductor and knee flexor muscle strength, cross-over signal positivity and increased acetabular retroversion index in symptomatic hips. Regarding correlations between evaluated aspects, we found out that the time of symptoms was weakly correlated with the reduced hip RM, whereas BMI was moderately correlated with the reduced hip RM.
Measurement of hip ROM is an important element of functional assessment. There is strong evidence that loss of hip medial rotation ROM is a risk factor for intra-articular injury. A systematic review1818 Tak I, Engelaar L, Gouttebarge V, et al. Is lower hip range of motion a risk factor for groin pain in athletes? A systematic review with clinical applications. Br J Sports Med 2017;51(22):1611-1621. Doi: 10.1136/bjsports-2016-096619
https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2016-09...
indicates that a difference in medial or lateral hip rotation higher than 7º between limbs may be a marker for future injury risk. Audenaert et al1919 Audenaert EA, Peeters I, Vigneron L, Baelde N, Pattyn C. Hip morphological characteristics and range of internal rotation in femoroacetabular impingement. Am J Sports Med 2012;40(06):1329-1336 found a significant reduction in RM ROM when comparing controls to individuals with FAIS in cam and pincer morphology. This change influences the quality of life and sports practice, especially in activities with increased hip flexion.
The Warwick agreement, established in 2016, guides requests for simple hip AP and femoral neck lateral radiographies to investigate morphological changes and rule out other causes of hip pain.11 Griffin DR, Dickenson EJ, O'Donnell J, et al. The Warwick Agreement on femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI syndrome): an international consensus statement. Br J Sports Med 2016;50(19):1169-1176 This study used the hip AP radiographies which allow the evaluation of femoral sphericity and signs of acetabular retroversion. Since markers for pincer signals assessment are not well established in the literature, the acetabular retroversion index, which provides quantitative information on the severity of focal overlay and may be a prognostic predictor in symptomatic patients,1616 Diaz-Ledezma C,Novack T,Marin-PeñaO, Parvizi J. The relevance of the radiological signs of acetabular retroversion among patients with femoroacetabular impingement. Bone Joint J 2013;95-B(07):893-899 was added to the three most used signals.2020 Rhee C, Le Francois T, Byrd JWT, Glazebrook M, Wong I. Radiographic Diagnosis of Pincer-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Systematic Review. Orthop J Sports Med 2017;5(05): 2325967117708307
A 2015 systematic review evaluating radiographic variables associated with FAIS progression concluded that there is moderate evidence that the increased alpha angle is associated with disease progression and that additional markers would not be an influence.2121 Wright AA, Naze GS, Kavchak AE, Paul D, Kenison B, Hegedus EJ. Radiological variables associated with progression of femoroacetabular impingement of the hip: a systematic review. J Sci Med Sport 2015;18(02):122-127 In this study, we found high alpha angles in both hips, with no significant difference between limbs, suggesting that factors other than femoral alteration influence symptoms development. In addition, the difference in retroversion index between limbs was clinical (26% higher in symptomatic limbs) and statistically significant and certainly a determining factor for symptoms development.
Neuromuscular inhibition of the hip is common in patients with FAIS. Deep stabilizers may be more affected due to their proximity to the injured tissue, resulting in joint and lower limb overload.2222 Retchford TH, Crossley KM, Grimaldi A, Kemp JL, Cowan SM. Can local muscles augment stability in the hip? A narrative literature review. J Musculoskelet Neuronal Interact 2013;13(01):1-12 A study assessing isometric muscle strength in 22 FAIS patients compared to 22 matching controls found a significant difference in hip adductor, abductor, flexor, and external rotator muscles strength in symptomatic individuals.2323 Casartelli NC, Maffiuletti NA, Item-Glatthorn JF, et al. Hip muscle weakness inpatientswith symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2011;19(07):816-821 Other researchers investigated the isometric and isokinetic strength of FAIS patients compared to controls. Based on the ratio between agonist and antagonist muscles in each group, it was concluded that individuals with FAIS have 20% of hip abductor isometric weakness and also an imbalance between lateral and medial hip rotators when compared to controls.44 Diamond LE, Wrigley TV, Hinman RS, et al. Isometric and isokinetic hip strength and agonist/antagonist ratios in symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement. J Sci Med Sport 2016;19(09):696-701 We observed a reduction in hip adductor and knee flexor muscles strength when comparing limbs, but such difference was clinically small.
Kockara et al2424 Kockara N, Sofu H, Issin A, Çamurcu Y, Bursali A. Predictors of the clinical outcome and survival without degenerative arthritis after surgical treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. J Orthop Sci 2018;23(01):117-121 concluded that BMI values ≥ 25/m2 may be predictors of unfavorable clinical outcomes after surgical treatment for FAIS. In our study, the increased BMI was positively correlated with the loss of RM, which may indicate a higher severity of FAIS in overweight patients. However, this change may also result from the difficulty in assessing hip medial rotation due to the accumulation of inguinal and abdominal fat/muscle mass in such patients.
The long time until diagnosis was observed in our case series and also by Kahlenberg et al,2525 Kahlenberg CA, Han B, Patel RM, Deshmane PP, Terry MA. Time and Cost of Diagnosis for Symptomatic Femor oacetabular Impingement. Orthop J Sports Med 2014;2(03):2325967114523916 who, after evaluating 78 patients with FAIS and applying a standardized questionnaire, noted that the mean time between symptom onset and diagnosis was 32 months. This finding demonstrates the importance of appropriate assessment and timely diagnosis, since, in an attempt to relieve pain, many patients may be exposed to long-term drug treatments and incorrect interventions, leading to health risk and injury progression.
This study had some limitations, such as small sample size compared to large-center studies, hip radiological assessment only in AP views (which may not identify some cases of cam deformity that are only visible in lateral view), the non-stratification of the level of physical activity in evaluated patients and the lack of a dynamic evaluation of muscular strength. The main contribution of this study was the identification of possible factors related to pain and hip medial rotation limitation in FAIS patients. Further assessments may create new opportunities for treatment and follow-up of these patients.
Conclusion
The comparison of clinical and radiographic features revealed a reduction in medial rotation and an increase in the acetabular retroversion index in symptomatic hips, as well as an association between long duration of symptom and high BMI with loss of medial rotation of the hips.
