Short-term Outcomes of Hip Arthroscopy for the Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement and Labral Tears in Underweight Patients

Hip arthroscopy for the treatment of FAI and labral tear in underweight patients yielded significant short-term improvements in PROs, which, except for postoperative VAS pain score and change in HOS-SSS, were comparable with a benchmark matched control group of normal weight patients. However, underweight patients had a 2.16-fold increased relative risk for revision hip arthroscopy. Underweight patients may benefit from preoperative nutritional evaluation.
