A 2-Week Course of Naproxen for Heterotopic Ossification Prophylaxis Is Effective Following Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the effectiveness of 2 weeks of naproxen prophylaxis for heterotopic ossification (HO) after primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Methods

All consecutive hip arthroscopy cases by a single surgeon from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2016, were retrospectively reviewed. Cases were included if they met the following criteria: (1) Primary hip arthroscopy, including femoral neck osteoplasty, for FAI; (2) naproxen prophylaxis for 2 weeks' duration; and (3) radiographic follow-up at a minimum of 3 months postoperatively.

Maximal size of HO was measured and classified according to the Bro
