dc.description.abstractObjective: To evaluate the functional results of a novel external fixator (EF) designed for joint distraction and prevention of traction table-related hip arthroscopy complications Methods: After obtaining promising results in a cadaveric study, 21 hips of 20 patients underwent EF-assisted arthroscopic hip surgeries for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and/or labral tear treatments. Patients were operated on a standard operating table in the supine position. A novel EF was used to distract the joint for central hip arthroscopy. The time needed for EF application and joint distraction and the amount of joint distraction were recorded. Preoperative functional scores were retrospectively compared to the postoperative 5-year follow-up results using the Harris Hip and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Index scores. Results: All patients underwent peripheral and central arthroscopy. The mean time for EF application and joint distraction was 19 min (range: 8-21). The mean amount of joint distraction was 13.2 mm (range: 12-18). None of the arthroscopic procedures had to be converted to open surgery. Functional results of all patients were improved at the 5-year follow-up (p<0.01). Only one patient required hip arthroscopy revision due to residual FAI. No other major or minor complication was found that is related to the EF or arthroscopy itself. Conclusion: Mid-term outcomes following EF-assisted hip arthroscopy demonstrate significant improvement in the functional outcomes without traction table-related complications. EF can be used as an alternative to traction table to maintain adequate hip distraction in arthroscopic hip surgery. In addition to the rotation, a novel designed EF allows hip joint flexion during distraction contrary to traction table.
