RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The authors aimed to: (1) determine how length of stay (LOS) and complication rates changed over the past 10 years, in comparison to values estimated by the ACS-NSQIP surgical risk calculator, at a single private institution open to external surgeons; and (2) determine preoperative patient factors associated with complications. METHODS: We retrospectively assessed 1018 consecutive patients who underwent primary elective THA over 10 years. We excluded 87 with tumours and 52 with incomplete records. Clinical data of the remaining 879 were used to determine real LOS and rate of 9 adverse events over time, as well as to estimate these values using the risk calculator. Its predictive reliability was represented on receiver operating characteristic curves. Multivariable analyses were performed to determine associations of complications with age, sex, ASA score, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, smoking and BMI. RESULTS: Over the 10-year period, real LOS and real complication rates decreased considerably, while LOS and complication rates estimated by the surgical risk calculator had little or no change. The difference between real and estimated LOS decreased over time. The overall estimated and real rates of any complication were respectively 3.3% and 2.8%. The risk calculator had fair reliability for predicting any complications (AUC 0.72). Overall estimated LOS was shorter than the real LOS in 764 (86.9%) patients. Multivariable analysis revealed risks of any complication to be greater in patients aged ⩾75 (OR = 4.36, p = 0.002), and with hypertension (OR = 3.13, p = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS: Since the implementation of clinical pathways at our institution, real LOS and complication rates decreased considerably, while LOS and complication rates estimated by the surgical risk calculator had little or no change. The difference between real and estimated LOS decreased over time, which could lead some clinicians to reconsider their discharge criteria, knowing that advanced age and hypertension increased risks of encountering complications.

Hip arthroscopy has been popularized over the last decade and, with technical advances regarding imaging diagnostics, understanding of the physiopathology or surgical techniques, several applications have been described. Both arthroscopy for intra-articular conditions and endoscopy for extra-articular procedures can be used in diagnosing or treating different conditions. This updated article has the objective of presenting the various current possibilities for hip arthroscopy.
A artroscopia de quadril tem sido popularizada na última década e com o avanço técnico, seja no diagnóstico por imagem, no entendimento da fisiopatologia ou na técnica cirúrgica, diversas aplicações foram descritas. Tanto a artroscopia, para afecções intra-articulares, como a endoscopia, para procedimentos extra-articulares, podem ser usadas no diagnóstico ou no tratamento de diferentes afecções. Este artigo de atualização tem como objetivo apresentar diversas possibilidades atuais da artroscopia de quadril.
