Functional Outcomes, Complications, and Failure Rates in Workers' Compensation Patients Following Hip Arthroscopic Repair: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies on the feasibility of hip arthroscopy in workers' compensation (WC) patients have been largely inconsistent or limited by study design, necessitating the need for a systematic review.

Purpose

We sought to systematically compare clinically significant differences between WC patients and their counterparts in relation to (1) functional outcomes, (2) complications, and (3) failure rates after hip arthroscopy.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed databases for studies published between January 1996 and February 2021. In combination with "AND" or "OR" Boolean operators, the following keywords were implemented: "hip arthroscopy," "workers' compensation," "outcomes," "complications," "revision," and "failure rates." Two reviewers screened eligib
