Abstract
Background
This study aimed to clarify whether the anterior hip capsular ligament is impinged between the acetabulum and femur during hip flexion or adduction and to determine the difference in the distance between the femur and capsular ligament in healthy adults and those with hip pain.
Methods
Magnetic resonance imaging of the hip joint was conducted at the following hip positions: 0° of flexion, 60° of flexion, maximal flexion, and maximal flexion with adduction. A three-dimensional model of the capsular ligament and femur was constructed. The minimal distance between the femur and capsular ligament, termed the capsule-femur distance, was computed. Because a capsule-femur distance of 0 mm indicates contact between the femur and the capsular ligament, that is, capsular impingement, the distance in each position was compared for each group using a one-sample t-test. The capsule-femur distance in the various groups and for different positions was compared using a split-plot analysis of variance.
Findings
Fifteen healthy individuals and sixteen individuals experiencing hip pain were enrolled. The capsule-femur distance was significantly greater than 0 mm in all positions in both groups, and none of the groups had a capsule-femur distance of 0 mm. The capsule-femur distance was significantly longer in the other positions than in the 0° flexion position, and significantly longer in the hip pain group than in the healthy group.
Interpretation
Capsular impingement did not occur in either group, even during hip flexion or adduction. Furthermore, the capsule-femur distance was longer in the hip flexion and hip pain groups.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
