Why the study?
With increasing hip arthroscopy cases, there has been a concomitant increase in complications and the need for revision surgery, motivating further evaluation of failure rates and associated patient factors.

Informs preoperative counseling on reoperation risk; leaves open modifiable patient factors for prospective validation.
What are the failure rates and associated patient factors following an index hip arthroscopy procedure?
Hip arthroscopy has an 18.58% total revision surgery rate within 2 years, and psychiatric comorbidities significantly increase the risk of short-term reoperation.
