What Are the Risk Factors for Revision Surgery After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement at 7-year Followup?

ABSTRACT:

Background

In recent years, surgical treatment of symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been increasingly performed using arthroscopy. Bony pathomorphologies and damage to the labrum as well as cartilage defects can be addressed with comparable results to open surgery with overall less surgery-related complications. Despite the increasing importance of hip arthroscopy, however, reports on midterm clinical and radiographic outcomes and comparison to open surgical hip dislocation are scarce.

Questions/purposes

(1) What are the clinical and radiographic outcomes at a mean 7-year followup; (2) what is the cumulative 7-year survivorship, using the endpoints of THA, progression of osteoarthritis according to Tönnis, or poor clinical outcome with a Merle d'Aubigné scor
