Surgeons weigh surgical options for primary hip labral tears
Among patients with labral tears, hip arthroscopy with primary labral repair is the gold standard treatment, which published literature has shown to have high success rates.
Should refixation or acute reconstruction be used to treat a hypoplastic labral tear?
The role for acute labral reconstruction continues to be defined.
Opioid use, cost of care after hip arthroscopy not linked with prior cannabis use
Published results showed no significant differences in postoperative opioid use or cost of episode of care between patients who did and those who did not report cannabis use prior to hip arthroscopy.
Femoral osteoplasty yielded positive long-term outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — For patients with femoroacetabular impingement, surgical treatment of labral pathology with femoral osteoplasty yielded better long-term outcomes and survivorship compared with arthroscopy alone.
Female athletes with femoroacetabular impingement had improved outcomes after arthroscopy
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — 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.
Y-balance score helps assess return to sport readiness after femoroacetabular impingement
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — 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.
Concordant history, exam and radiographs critical to manage young patients with FAI
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — MRI prior to primary hip arthroscopy may not be as clinically useful as concordant history, physical exam and radiographs alone among young patients with femoroacetabular impingement, according to study data.

SAN FRANCISCO — In this video from the Arthroscopy Association of North America Annual Meeting, Andrew E. Jimenez, MD, discusses predictors of return to sport among high-level athletes who underwent hip arthroscopy.
Shorter duration of symptoms linked with better subjective results after hip arthroscopy
CHICAGO — Compared with competitive athletes who experience symptoms for longer than 1 year, athletes who experience symptoms for less than 1 year demonstrate superior patient-reported outcomes after hip arthroscopy, results showed.
Acetabular microfracture may be an alternative for severe, focal cartilage defects
CHICAGO — Results showed patients who underwent hip arthroscopy with acetabular microfracture for the management of focal and full-thickness cartilage lesions demonstrated significant improvement in outcomes and survivorship at 10 years.
