What this Trial Is About
This research aims to compare two surgical methods for treating hip labral tears, a condition affecting the cartilage around the hip joint. The study focuses on patients with femoroacetabular impingement and traumatic labral tears to evaluate which treatment may lead to better hip function and pain relief. The trial is a randomized, double-blind comparison conducted by Ain Shams University. Participants will undergo hip arthroscopy under general anesthesia, where surgeons will use two portals to access the hip joint under fluoroscopic guidance. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either arthroscopic labral repair, which uses suture anchors to fix the tear, or arthroscopic labral debridement, which involves removing damaged tissue using electrocautery. Both procedures address any labral, cartilage, or bony issues present during surgery. Participants' hip function and pain levels will be assessed before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months, as well as at 1 year after the procedure, using the Hip Outcome Score, Harris Hip Score, and Visual Analog Scale. These evaluations will help measure changes in hip function and pain over time. The study follows patients for a total of one year after surgery to monitor recovery and outcomes.
