What factors influence the choice of diagnostic tools for femoro-acetabular impingement in this population?
The choice of diagnostic tools for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in this population is influenced by various factors. MR arthrography is valuable for preoperative assessment, detecting labral tears with high sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV). Radiomics, utilizing quantitative features from MRI images, shows promise in automatically detecting FAI with high accuracy, potentially surpassing standard diagnostic tests. Deep learning models, particularly the VGG-16 model, demonstrate high accuracy in diagnosing FAI using hip radiographs, aiding in swift and accurate diagnosis. Anesthetic intra-articular hip injections are considered useful diagnostic tools for FAI, with high positive predictive value and accuracy, although further standardized studies are needed. Additionally, the combination of specific radiographical features like the CT-ACEA and α angle can aid in diagnosing FAI and determining the need for surgery.
