Implication

Retrospective cohort study compares functional outcomes of interportal versus T-capsulotomy techniques in young adults, indicating potential advantages of interportal approach.

Key Points

To compare clinical outcomes of interportal and T-capsulotomy techniques in hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.
Retrospective cohort study of patients ≤50 years old undergoing hip arthroscopy from May 2021 to January 2024 with a minimum 12-month follow-up.
Patients treated with either interportal or T-capsulotomy with standardized capsular repair; PROs measured preoperatively and at follow-up.
Statistical significance set at P < .05, with cohort-specific minimum clinically important difference thresholds calculated.
Both groups showed significant improvements in all patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
Higher rates of achieving the patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) in the interportal group for International Hip Outcomes Tool (76% vs 54%).
No revisions or major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥2) occurred in either group.
