Return to Sport After Primary Hip Arthroscopic Surgery and Labral Repair in Female Athletes With Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Minimum 5-Year Follow-up
Female athletes who underwent primary hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI had significant improvements in PROM scores and moderate return-to-sport rates at a minimum 5-year follow-up. Most athletes discontinued sports because of non-hip-related factors, although hip-related issues were also cited. Our analysis highlights the need for thorough perioperative counseling and establishing appropriate patient expectations for female athletes before hip arthroscopic surgery.
