The Presence of a Psychiatric Condition is Associated With Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Matched Case-Controlled Study.

Background: We sought to examine the association between having a psychiatric condition and undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Methods: A matched case-control study was performed to control for age and gender. All patients over 16 years of age with FAI treated with hip arthroscopy by a single surgeon were randomly matched to a patient of the same age and gender undergoing knee arthroscopy for any diagnosis other than infection by the same surgeon during the same period.
