A 2008 survey of hip injuries in the NFL introduced the “sports hip triad,” consisting of a hip labral tear, adductor injury and rectus abdominis injury.
Myriad of hip joint pain impedes groin injury diagnosis
Commonly found among male athletes who participate in cutting and pivoting sports, such as soccer, football, basketball and hockey, groin injuries have been associated with a myriad of descriptions and causes of pain.
Labral repair may be preferred vs. labral reconstruction for femoroacetabular impingement
For patients with acetabular labral tears associated with femoroacetabular impingement, labral repair may yield superior outcomes with a decreased risk of conversion to arthroplasty vs. labral reconstruction, according to published results.
Home exercise program yielded similar improvements as formal therapy after hip arthroscopy
Published results showed a home exercise program yielded similar improvements as formal physical therapy at 1 year after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.
Comparable hip arthroscopy results seen in patients with vs. without borderline dysplasia
Results showed patients with borderline hip dysplasia who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement had comparable patient-reported outcomes at 10-year follow-up to patients without borderline hip dysplasia.
Hip arthroscopy with capsular repair yielded high rates of survivorship at 10 years
Patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy with capsular repair for femoroacetabular impingement had high rates of survivorship at 10 years, according to published results.
Hip arthroscopy outcomes at 6 months may correlate with outcomes at 10 years
BOSTON — Patient outcome scores 6 months after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement were significantly associated with 10-year outcomes and conversion to total hip arthroplasty, according to presented results.
Arthroscopy may favorably alter natural history of OA in patients with hip impingement
Published results showed arthroscopic correction was associated with favorable outcomes for patients with femoroacetabular impingement despite a similar progression of osteoarthritis vs. patients who received nonoperative treatment.
Hip dysplasia in athletes may not affect outcomes of arthroscopy for impingement
According to published results, hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement yielded similar 2-year outcomes for flexibility sport athletes with vs. without borderline hip dysplasia.
Both labral refixation, debridement effective for femoroacetabular impingement
