Evolution of Hip Muscles Strength in Femoroacetabular Impingement Patients Treated by Arthroscopy or Surgical Hip Dislocation: A Retrospective Exploratory Study.

ABSTRACT: Hip arthroscopy and surgical hip dislocation (SHD) can be adequate surgical options for patients suffering from femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome, but there is to date no published data on their impact on hip muscles strength. The purpose of this retrospective study was, therefore, to evaluate it on a consecutive series of 50 FAI patients treated either by arthroscopy (n = 29, aged 27.4 ± 7.5 years, 76% of women) or SHD (n = 21, aged 25.9 ± 6.5 years, 38% of women) at La Tour Hospital between 2020 and 2021. The bilateral isometric strengths of eight hip-related muscles were evaluated before and three months after surgery (halfway through the rehabilitation program). For arthroscopy, a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction in hip muscles strength could be noted on the
