Implication

Cohort study shows improved patient-reported outcomes in cases of pincer-type FAI with acetabular retroversion, suggesting effective management with low reoperation risk.

Key Points

To evaluate patient-reported outcomes and survivorship at 5-year follow-up for arthroscopic correction of pincer-type FAI with acetabular retroversion.
Reviewed hip preservation registry for cases from January 2014 to July 2020.
Matched 201 cases of moderate-global retroversion with 201 control cases based on age, sex, and Tönnis grade.
Assessed PROMs and reoperation rates preoperatively and at 5 years postoperatively.
Revision arthroscopy rates were 6% in both groups (P = .974).
Arthroplasty-free survivorship was high at 98.2% for retroversion and 98.8% for control (P = .664).
Significant improvements noted in all PROMs at 5 years (P < .001).
