Accelerated Bilateral Hip Arthroscopy (1 Week Apart): Outcomes Compared With Delayed Bilateral Procedure (4-12 Weeks) and Case-Control Matched Unilateral Arthroscopy
Staged bilateral hip arthroscopy is an option for athletes who have symptomatic bilateral femoroacetabular impingement; however, the optimal timing of the second procedure is unknown.Read More
High Survivorship and Comparable Patient-Reported Outcomes at a Minimum 5 Years After Hip Arthroscopic Surgery in Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement, With and Without Lateral Rim Dysplasia
As the understanding of FAI and the various contraindications for hip preservation advance, uncertainty remains as to the optimal treatment approact for patients with FAI and concomitant dysplasia. The purpose therefore of this study was to report the midterm (min 5 years) outcomes for hip arthroscopy for FAI in the presence ... Read More
High survivorship and excellent 5-year outcomes in patients older than 40 years undergoing arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement
The purpose of this study was to report 5-year outcomes in older adults (>40 years) undergoing arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement and to compare their outcomes to a younger control group.Read More
Hip Arthroscopy in the Presence of Advanced Osteoarthritis Results in 57% Survivorship, With 78% Survivor Satisfaction at 10 Years. A Matched - Control Study
The purpose of this study was two-fold: 1) to determine the long term (10 years) survivorship (i.e., avoidance of a total hip replacement) for patients with advanced osteoarthritis undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement Read More
PRP Is Not Associated With Improved Outcomes Following Hip Femoroacetabular Impingement Surgery: Very Low-Quality Evidence Suggests Hyaluronic Acid and Cell-Based Therapies May Be Beneficial - A Systematic Review of Biological Treatments
The use of and interest in biologic treatments has grown in popularity in sports medicine, however their efficacy remains ambiguous. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the efficacy of biologic agents in the treatment of cartilage defects associated with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Read More
Hip Range of Motion Is Increased After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Systematic Review
It is generally accepted that decreased motion in patients with symptomatic FAI occurs primarily because of a mechanical block to movement from abnormal bony morphology of the proximal femur and/or acetabulum. Read More
Survivorship Rate and Clinical Outcomes 10 Years After Arthroscopic Correction of Symptomatic Femoroacetabular Impingement
In this study, 119 cases undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) were followed-up 10 years post-surgery (range 10-12 years). Long-term patient-reported outcomes, satisfaction and incidence of subsequent surgeries are reported. Read More
Arthroscopic Correction of Femoroacetabular Impingement for Concomitant Inguinal Disruption in Athletes With Dual Pathology
Inguinal disruption and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are well-recognized sources of groin pain in athletes. In this study of patients with dual pathology, treatment of the FAI component alone using arthroscopic hip surgery results in a successful outcome without need for groin repair in 89.2% of cases...

Arthroscopic Correction of Sports-Related Femoroacetabular Impingement in Competitive Athletes
Athletes undergoing arthroscopy for sports-related FAI can expect a successful outcome and continued sports participation at 2 years postoperatively. In this study significant improvements for all patient-reported outcome measures were observed with 84% of athletes continuing to play at 2 year follow-up.... Read More
Chronic Hip Injury Has a Negative Emotional Impact On the Male Athlete With Femoroacetabular Impingement
Arthroscopic management of sports-related FAI results in excellent overall clinical outcome and high levels of satisfaction and CTP, at 2-years. Chronic hip injury has a significant negative effect on the physical and mental well-being of athletes; corrective surgery may restore physical function but is.. Read More
