Outcomes of Hip Preservation Surgeries Including Arthroscopic Treatment for Femoroacetabular Impingement

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the outcomes of hip preservation surgeries, including both open and arthroscopic treatments, in patients with femoroacetabular impingement FAI. This study aims to determine whether hip arthroscopy improves post-operative outcomes compared to pre-operative measures, focusing on patient-reported outcomes, revision surgeries, conversion to total hip arthroplasty, and return to sport. The research also seeks to assess patient satisfaction and the success of recent advancements in arthroscopic hip preservation over time. The study collects data both prospectively and retrospectively from about 10,000 patients undergoing hip preservation at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Participants who are candidates for hip surgical intervention are included, with data gathered mainly during the prospective phase. The study involves tracking changes in hip function and pain using various scores and surveys at multiple timepoints up to 10 years after surgery. Participants will be assessed before surgery and at intervals of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years post-operatively. Evaluations include the Hip Outcome Score, PROMIS questionnaires, pain scores, sports activity surveys, and patient satisfaction measures. Researchers will monitor progress and success through patient-reported outcomes and psychometric assessments over this extended follow-up period.
