Hip‐Specific Patient‐Reported Outcomes Strongly Correlate With Pain and Physical Function Metrics but not Mental Health Before and After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
Retrospective study assesses hip-specific outcomes related to pain and function in patients undergoing surgery, suggesting strong pain correlation but not with mental health.
Key Points
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between hip-specific patient-reported outcomes and general health metrics before and after hip arthroscopy.
Retrospective study conducted at a single institution from 2014 to 2025.
Collected scores include modified Harris hip score, Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and SF-12 components.
Analyzed correlations using Spearman coefficients for hip-specific and general health scores pre- and post-surgery.
Both HOOS and mHHS demonstrated strong correlations with pain and physical function metrics (Spearman's ρ: -0.64 to -0.81, P < .01).
75.3% to 81.6% achieved minimal clinically important difference for HOOS, while 63.3% to 65.9% for mHHS at follow-ups.
Correlations with SF-12 mental score were poor or nonsignificant.
