Hip Arthroscopy

According to published results, arthroscopic intervention is a safe and viable treatment option with positive outcomes and satisfaction at 10 years in patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement.

According to published results, patients who undergo total hip arthroplasty following hip arthroscopy are at increased risk for complications and revision surgery compared with patients who did not have prior hip arthroscopy.

Published results showed patients with hip instability caused by previous cam over-resection may have improved patient-reported outcomes after arthroscopic hip remplissage.

Use of a machine learning algorithm may predict clinically relevant sports-specific improvements in athletes with femoroacetabular impingement undergoing hip arthroscopy, according to published results.

Despite a plateau in the rate of hip arthroscopy procedures, published results showed patients younger than 30 years had a higher revision rate and patients older than 50 years had a higher conversion rate to total hip arthroplasty.

Patients with greater than 50% labral degeneration prior to hip arthroscopy had worse hip specific functional outcomes at a minimum 2-year follow-up, according to results.

Radiographic factors, such as preoperative to postoperative changes in alpha angle, anterior offset and head-neck ratio, were associated with failure of revision hip arthroscopy, according to published results.

Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome had improved squat performance and sagittal plane range of motion after hip arthroscopy, according to results presented at the Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting.

Hip arthroscopy yields high initial patient satisfaction but moderate long-term clinical improvement in patients aged 65 years and older, according to published results.

Data presented at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Annual Meeting showed lateral joint space and preoperative nonarthritic hip score were prognosticators of improved 2- and 5-year hip arthroscopy outcomes.
