This study revealed wide variation in the value of hip arthroscopy that was most strongly explained by osteoplasty type, labral management technique, and preoperative PROMs. In contrast, patient demographics such as age, gender, and BMI contributed minimal independent variability.

A prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed clinical repository was evaluated for cases of primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS with capsular p...

The majority of young athletes with FAI-S and hip dysplasia who underwent hip preservation surgery were able to return to competitive play at or above their pre-procedure performance level after return to sport testing.

Prospectively collected data were retrospectively reviewed for patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS and labral tear treatment between February 2008 and November 2013 with acetabular retroversion. On a well-positioned anteroposterior pelvic radiograph, retroversion was based on the presenc...

Revision hip arthroscopy is increasingly common and most often performed to treat residual femoroacetabular impingement caused by cam under-resection. Unfortunately, other pathologies encountered during revision hip arthroscopy are more difficult to treat, including capsular deficiency, labral defic...
