Post-operative injection of hydrolyzed collagen peptides shows anti-inflammatory effect in patients with femoroacetabular impingement improving the early recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to compare the use of cortisone (C), intra-articular injected at the end of hip arthroscopy in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), to a new Class III medical device based on hydrolyzed collagen peptides 'PEPTYS' (P) and, to investigate potential associations among preoperative symptoms and hip function, outcomes after arthroscopic surgery and presence of inflammatory biomarkers in synovial fluids (SFs) at basal condition.

Methods

The two treatments were administrated to patients scheduled for arthroscopy with simple blind randomization sampling. Based on the sample size calculation, the number necessary to recruit was at least 20 patients for the C group and 20 for the P group. SFs, when available, were obtained by aspiration just prior
