Biometric Changes Up to 2 Years After Hip Arthroscopy in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Athletes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients who undergo hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) require lower extremity immobilization for an extended period of time. Periods of immobilization combined with surgery have been associated with decreased muscle mass and bone mineral density (BMD).

Purpose/hypothesis

The purpose of this study was to characterize postoperative body composition and BMD changes after arthroscopy for FAI. It was hypothesized that both lean mass and BMD would decrease postoperatively and then normalize over time.

Study design

Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Methods

This was a retrospective review of 23 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletes who underwent hip arthroscopy between 2017 and 2019 and had a dual-energy x-ray ab
