What Is the Survivorship After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement? A Large-database Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) may experience lasting clinical improvement after hip arthroscopy; however, some patients will still eventually undergo early conversion to THA due to unresolved symptoms and progression of arthritis. However, the risk of this has been only incompletely characterized in prior studies.

Questions/purposes

Using a large healthcare claims database over a 5-year period (2011-2016), we asked: (1) What is the survivorship free from THA after arthroscopic osteoplasty performed for FAI? (2) What identifiable demographic factors and patient characteristics are associated with early conversion to THA after hip arthroscopy performed for FAI?

Methods

We included all patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAI, between
