Key takeaways:
- Arthroscopic hip labral repair yielded significant improvements in functional outcomes in young athletes.
- At a minimum 8.5-year follow-up, about 25% of patients discontinued sports.
SAN FRANCISCO — Results presented here showed arthroscopic hip labral repair may be durable and efficacious in young, competitive athletes, with low revision rates and satisfactory continuance of sport at 10-year follow-up.
Mario Hevesi, MD, and colleagues retrospectively reviewed long-term outcomes among patients younger than 24 years old who underwent arthroscopic hip labral repair between 2009 and 2014.
“These patients had statistically significant improvements in their modified Harris Hip Scores, their hip outcome scores activities of daily living and sports-specific subscale, and, at a minimum of 8.5 years follow-up, a minority of these patients – approximately one-quarter of them – had discontinued their sport due to hip-related reasons,” Hevesi, an orthopedic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, told Healio about results presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting. “Another quarter had discontinued their sport just because they had to stop playing sports.”
