Return to Sport in Professional Athletes With Borderline Hip Dysplasia After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to determine the return-to-sport (RTS) rates for professional athletes with borderline hip dysplasia following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). They found that 79% of athletes who underwent primary hip arthroscopy successfully returned to their sport, with a median return time of 7.5 months, while only 25% of those undergoing revision surgery returned. Factors such as older age and a history of previous hip arthroscopy were associated with a lower likelihood of RTS.
