Early recovery after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome: a prospective, observational study.

ABSTRACT: The early post-operative course after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome has not been thoroughly characterized or correlated to factors that may influence recovery. The aim of this study was to report on early pain, function and attitudes towards rehabilitation and to determine predictors of early recovery after hip arthroscopy. Sixty-two patients reported pre-operative pain, iHOT-12 (hip functional score), psychological status and other baseline characteristics. Pain, iHOT-12, hip flexion and several other outcomes were measured through 6 weeks post-operative. Baseline characteristics were correlated with outcomes using univariate and multivariable models.
