Key Points

  • To identify factors increasing the likelihood of emergency room visits within 30 days after hip arthroscopy.
  • Analyzed patient data following hip arthroscopy procedures.
  • Compared rates of emergency room visits related to specific patient characteristics.
  • Evaluated the impact of capsular closure technique on visit rates.
  • Patients with Medicaid insurance are more likely to visit the ED within 30 days.
  • Individuals with hypertension and auto-immune disorders show a higher risk of ED visits.
  • The use of capsular closure technique significantly lowers the chances of unplanned ED visits.
