Results presented here showed female athletes with femoroacetabular impingement had significant improvements in patient-reported outcome scores and a high rate of return to sport after hip arthroscopy.

Higher Y-balance scores are associated with improved patient-reported outcomes after surgery for femoroacetabular impingement and may help determine readiness for return to sport, according to presented results.
