Anterior Electronic Hip Pain Drawings Are Helpful for Diagnosis of Intra-articular Sources of Pain: Lateral or Posterior Drawings Are Unreliable

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of electronic hip pain drawing to diagnose intra-articular source of pain in nonarthritic hips, defined by response to an intra-articular injection. Methods: A retrospective assessment was performed in consecutive patients who had an i...

description Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of electronic hip pain drawing to diagnose intra-articular source of pain in nonarthritic hips, defined by response to an intra-articular injection. Methods: A retrospective assessment was performed in consecutive patients who had an intra-articular injection completed within a 1-year period. Patients were classified as responders or nonresponders to intra-articular hip injection. A positive injection was defined as greater than 50% hip pain relief within 2 hours after injection. Electronic pain drawings collected before injection were then evaluated according to the hip region marked by the patients. Results: Eighty-three patients were studied after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Anterior hip pain on drawing had a sensitivity of 0.69, specificity of 0.68, positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.86, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 0.44 for intraarticular source of pain. Posterior hip pain on drawing had a sensitivity of 0.59, specificity of 0.23, PPV of 0.68, and NPV of 0.17 for intra-articular source of pain. Lateral hip pain on drawing had a sensitivity of 0.62, specificity of 0.50, PPV of 0.78, and NPV of 0.32 for intraarticular source of pain. Conclusion: Anterior hip pain on electronic drawing has a sensitivity of 0.69 and specificity of 0.68 for intra-articular source of pain in nonarthritic hips. Lateral and posterior hip pain on electronic pain drawings are not reliable to rule out intra-articular hip disease. Level of Evidence: Level III, case-control study.
