Abstract
in English, German

Instability and impingement of the hip are the main pathomechanisms that can lead to chondrolabral damage, painful restriction of motion and early hip osteoarthritis due to increased mechanical stress, even in young patients. The goals of joint-preserving hip surgery are correction of the osseous deformities and chondrolabral damage as well as restoration of joint function. A prerequisite for successful surgery is the identification of the underlying hip pathologies, which can also occur in combination. Dedicated radiographic and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of osseous morphology and the internal degenerative joint lesions play an essential role for the treatment indications and surgical treatment planning. This article provides a concise overview of the prevalence, pathomechanisms and indicated treatment of hip deformities as well as detailed recommendations on the specific radiological clarification.

Instabilität und Impingement stellen die Hauptpathomechanismen dar, die bereits bei jungen Patienten durch erhöhten mechanischen Stress zu chondrolabralen Schäden, schmerzhafter Bewegungseinschränkung und frühzeitiger Coxarthrose führen können. Ziele der gelenkerhaltenden Chirurgie an der Hüfte sind die Korrektur der knöchernen Deformitäten und chondrolabraler Schäden sowie die Wiederherstellung der Gelenkfunktion. Voraussetzung dafür ist die Identifikation der ursächlichen Pathologien an der Hüfte, welche zudem in Kombination auftreten können. Die dezidierte Röntgen- und Magnetresonanzbildgebung der knöchernen Morphologie und der degenerativen Gelenkbinnenläsionen liefern einen essenziellen Beitrag für die Behandlungsindikation und die Behandlungsplanung. Der vorliegende Artikel soll einen kurzen Überblick über die Hüftdeformitäten mit deren Prävalenz, Pathomechanismus und indizierter Therapie sowie detaillierte Empfehlungen über die spezifische radiologische Abklärung geben.
