Femoroacetabular translation in female athletes and dancers assessed by dynamic hip ultrasonography

Objective To compare femoroacetabular (FA) translation between dancers and athletes with hip pain and between dancers with and without hip pain.Methods In this cross-sectional study, 171 female athletes and dancers with hip pain underwent dynamic hip ultrasound (DHUS) of FA translation in three posi...

description Objective To compare femoroacetabular (FA) translation between dancers and athletes with hip pain and between dancers with and without hip pain.Methods In this cross-sectional study, 171 female athletes and dancers with hip pain underwent dynamic hip ultrasound (DHUS) of FA translation in three positions: neutral (N), neutral with contralateral hip flexion (NF), apprehension position with contralateral hip flexion (EER-F). Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to assess variation in FA translation between dancers and athletes in the presence of age, Beighton score/hypermobility, BMI, radiographic markers of acetabular dysplasia and femoral version angles. Symptomatic dancers were matched to asymptomatic dancer controls on age, height and BMI, and comparison analyses of FA translation were conducted controlling for matched propensity score and Beighton score.Results In the symptomatic cohort, dancers were younger, had higher Beighton scores and were more hypermobile than non-dancers. Dancers also showed greater NF, EER-F and max US–min US (delta) compared with non-dancers (mean 5.4 mm vs 4.4 mm, p=0.02; mean 6.3 mm vs 5.2 mm, p=0.01; 4.2 mm vs 3.6 mm, p=0.03, respectively). Symptomatic dancers showed greater NF and EER-F compared with asymptomatic dancers (mean 5.5 mm vs 2.9 mm, p<0.001; mean 6.3 mm vs 4.2 mm, p<0.001, respectively). Comparison of symptomatic dancers with and without hip dysplasia showed no difference in DHUS measurements.Conclusion DHUS measurements of FA translation are greater in female dancers with hip pain relative to female non-dancer athletes with hip pain and asymptomatic female dancers.
