Decision-making in borderline hip dysplasia and concomitant femoracetabular impingement syndrome: using a discrete choice experiment to explore patient preferences.

ABSTRACT: Decision-making regarding surgical treatment of patients showing radiographic evidence of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) in the setting of borderline hip dysplasia (BHD) remains a challenge as there is no consensus on treatment in current literature. When medical evidence is unclear, understanding patient preferences becomes particularly important in deciding the optimal treatment for each patient. The purpose of this study was to measure the patient-determined importance of factors surrounding surgical treatment of FAIS in BHD. Patients aged 18-65 with hip pain and BHD (defined as lateral center edge angle 18-25 or Tonnis angle 10-15) morphology were given a discrete-choice experiment (DCE) focusing on attributes that differ between treatment options: Length of Hospital Stay
