Sex-Based Differences in Outcomes, Clinical Benefit, and Survivorship in Patients With Borderline Hip Dysplasia Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy at a Minimum 5-Year Follow-up: A Propensity-Matched Comparison Study

Key Points

To compare sex-based differences in clinical outcomes and survivorship for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy.
Propensity-matched comparison study
Analysis included male and female patients with borderline hip dysplasia
Minimum 5-year follow-up on clinical outcomes
Significant improvement in clinical outcomes for both sexes
Comparable patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)
Higher clinical benefit observed in women based on achievement rates for MCID, PASS, and MOI.

Abstract

At a minimum 5-year follow-up, a propensity-matched comparison of female and male patients with BHD who underwent primary hip arthroscopy demonstrated significant improvement and comparable PROMs and survivorship. Clinical benefit was significantly higher in women, as evidenced by higher achievement rates on the MCID, PASS, and MOI.
