Forty-six hips (46 patients) were included, with 19 hips in the sub-analysis. There was a significant increase in apparent lateral joint space width (JSW) measured on supine anteroposterior (AP) pelvis radiographs with no significant changes in medial and central JSW and significant decreases in the lateral and anterior center-edge angles and alpha angle. Patients experienced significant increases in PROMs and high rates of achieving psychometric thresholds. Patients presenting with FAIS and calcified labra may have apparent lateral joint space narrowing on pre-operative supine AP pelvis radiographs. These patients have low rates of full-thickness femoral head and acetabular cartilage pathology, this apparent narrowing can be corrected and excellent outcomes and survivorship can be achieved, with primary labral reconstruction.</p>","PeriodicalId":48583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hip Preservation Surgery","volume":"9 4","pages":"232-239"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/ed/93/hnac044.PMC9993452.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9099409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With no more than the 10th edition of Bailey & Love’s Short Practice of Surgery [2], illuminated by a kerosene lamp [3], he learned to operate under the eagle-eyed guidance of his surgical assistant, the aged hospital orderly. When I started my surgical career, my father-in-law advised me never to underestimate the importance of the surgical assistant. How right he proved to be. There is only so much that two hands can achieve, and few things have given me as much pleasure as the four-handed dance that my assistant and I have learned to perform. In Australia, retired surgeons serve as surgical assistants to their successors, and I marvel at the brilliance of this system. In my travels, I have noticed that many of the finest surgeons work with an assistant who has found his or her way into the operating theatre by the most unlikely route. Just as some surgeons are blessed with ‘magic hands’, it is only when the surgeon finds a similarly talented assistant that they achieve their finest work. Sadly, the remuneration that surgical assistants enjoy, in the United Kingdom [4], often fails to recognise or reflect the value of their role in our operating rooms. The best surgical assistants are intuitively able to make surgery easier, faster and more elegant but, few have any experience or interest in academic research [5, 6] and, those who do, are unlikely to be funded to undertake the additional work needed to gather, process and report clinical data. Many of our most innovative and academic colleagues attract trainees who displace the surgical assistants and oblige their trainer to work with third and fourth hands that are focused on becoming the surgical lead. At the Journal of Hip Preservation Surgery ( JHPS), we are aware that there is a paucity of literature on the role played by surgical assistants, their influence on the use of operating room time and the outcome of our interventions. We invite you to share studies related to the involvement of surgical assistants and other operating room personnel in hip preservation surgery. Over the next decade, augmented reality systems will be adopted to enhance surgical training [7, 8], robotic-assisted surgery will become commonplace in our operating rooms [9, 10], the role of our surgical assistants will evolve and a new generation of computer-savvy technicians will join our teams. The value of these new technologies will need to be assessed and justified both for their economic [11, 12] and clinical benefits. JHPS would welcome manuscripts focusing on these changes, and we look forward to disseminating evidence to guide the hip preservation community as new technologies become available.

C-TOA and M-TOA were performed in 27 and 34 hips, respectively. Hip abduction, flexion and knee extension muscle strength were measured preoperatively and at 3, 5, 10, 24 and 52 weeks postoperatively.
