Key result
Revision hip arthroscopy in patients older than 40 years of age has a higher rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty.
Why the study?
Does revision hip arthroscopy in patients older than 40 years of age increase the rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty?
Does revision hip arthroscopy in patients older than 40 years of age increase the rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty?
Careful patient selection and execution are critical in primary hip arthroscopy, as revision procedures in patients over 40 carry a higher risk of conversion to total hip arthroplasty.
Getting hip arthroscopy right the first time is critical to the overall patient outcome. This involves proper patient selection, with avoidance of arthritis, understanding the pathology of each hip, and properly executing the surgery. Care must be taken to restore labral function and preserve capsule function while accurately resecting pincer or cam impingement. While good results can be achieved in patients older than 40 years of age, an opportunity exists for improved optimization of clinical outcomes. Moreover, revision hip arthroscopy in patients older than 40 years of age has a higher rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty. Again, get it right the first time, and carefully consider indications for revision hip arthroscopy in patients older than 40 years of age if there is a second time.
