Retrospective analysis evaluates outcomes post-hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement, indicating age as a significant prognostic factor.
Key Points
This study aims to evaluate mid-term functional outcomes post-hip arthroscopy and identify prognostic factors influencing these outcomes.
Retrospective analysis of 87 patients who underwent hip arthroscopy from 2015 to 2020.
Assessment of patient-reported outcome measures before and after surgery using various scoring systems.
Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses to identify associations with postoperative outcomes.
All patient-reported outcome measures improved significantly post-surgery (p < 0.001).
Increasing age correlated with worse postoperative Hip Outcome Score and Harris Hip Score (p < 0.001; p = 0.004) and higher osteoarthritis index scores (p = 0.013).
Age was identified as the sole independent predictor of postoperative Harris Hip Score (β = -0.22; p = 0.005).
