Background: The effects of specific bony hip morphologies, cam and dysplasia, and cartilage damage on mid- and long-term (≥5 years) patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are understudied.

Purpose: To investigate if changes in PROs from preoperatively to 5 years after hip arthroscopy are associated with preoperative bony hip morphology and cartilage status in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Capsular closure in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) patients during hip arthroscopy procedures is debated. The Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry (DHAR) contains data to perform matched-cohort analyses. The purpose of this study is to evaluate 1-year subjective outcome data from DHAR after hip arthroscopy for FAIS with capsular closure and compare these outcome data with a matched-cohort study group.

Background: The Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry (DHAR) started as a web-based prospective registry in 2012. The aim of this study was to evaluate and report epidemiologic and perioperative data from 5,333 procedures and to describe the development of the DHAR.

Methods: The DHAR collects data from patients prospectively at the time of inclusion (preoperative evaluation) and at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after arthroscopic hip surgery.

This review summarises the present knowledge of diagnosing and treating hip joint pain. The results of joint preserving surgery are good in symptomatic patients with hip dysplasia, acetabular retroversion or impingement (cam or pincer) without signs of osteoarthritis. Confirmation of intraarticular pathology as the cause of symptoms is established clinically, and the pathology can in many cases be visualised by a standing, standardised radiograph of the pelvis, which is the basis for admission to the relevant orthopaedic department.

The main purpose of this secondary analysis was to compare the proportion of athletes with moderate-to-extreme difficulties in eight specific sport activities in athletes with optimal versus impaired sport performance after a hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Subjects were identified in a nationwide registry and invited to answer a return to sport and performance questionnaire, and the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score Sport subscale investigating difficulties in eight specific sports activities (HAGOS sport items) as; none, mild, moderate, severe or extreme. Subjects were divided into two groups based on sport performance (optimal or impaired).

Background: Moderate to severe (grade 3-4) hip joint cartilage injury seems to impair function in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Purpose: To investigate whether demographic and radiographic factors were associated with moderate to severe hip joint cartilage injury.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is defined as a motion-related disorder of the hip joint, consisting of a triad of symptoms, clinical findings, and imaging findings. Hip morphology related to FAIS is developed during skeletal growth and seems to be related to sports participation. Treatment for FAIS may include physiotherapy and/or surgery, but recent evidence suggests, that surgery is more effective in improving symptoms.

Background: The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) was recently found valid, reliable, and responsive for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. However, it is currently unknown to what degree patients undergoing hip arthroscopy improve and/or normalize their HAGOS result within the first year after surgery.

Purpose: First, to use HAGOS to evaluate clinical outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and/or labral injury and compare the HAGOS results with the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS).

Background: A recent systematic review found that 87% of athletes return to sport after hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. However, the proportion of athletes returning to preinjury sport at their preinjury level of sport is less clear.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to determine the rate of athletes returning to preinjury sport at preinjury level including their associated sports performance after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Purpose: Predictors of outcome after femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) surgery are not well-documented. This study presents data from the Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry (DHAR) for such analyses. The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of poor outcome after FAI surgery in a Danish FAI population.

Introduction: Hip arthroscopy has become a standard procedure in the treatment of hip joint pain not related to osteoarthritis or dysplasia in the young and active patient. There has been increasing focus on the contribution of the hip capsule to function and on stability following hip arthroscopy. It has been suggested that capsular closure after hip arthroscopy may prevent microinstability and macroinstability of the hip joint and reduce revision rate.

The Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry (DHAR) was initiated in January 2012 as a web-based prospective registry. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and report the first registry based outcome data of a national population with radiological and clinical femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) undergoing hip arthroscopic treatment. Our primary hypothesis was that patients undergoing hip arthroscopy would improve significantly in pain, quality of life and sports related outcome measurements in Patient Related Outcome Measures (PROM).

Danish Hip Arthroscopy Registry (DHAR) was initiated in 2012 as a web-based prospective registry. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and report the epidemiologic and perioperative data of the first 2000 procedures in a Danish hip arthroscopy population and to describe the development of DHAR. We describe the use of various Patient Related Outcome Measures related to non-arthritic hip patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the progression of clinical outcomes 3, 6 and 12 months after hip arthroscopy with labral repair for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Methods: From May 2009 to December 2011, 87 consecutive patients [55 females (median age 38, range 17-63) and 32 males (median age 38, range 15-59)] underwent hip arthroscopy and labral repair, by the same experienced surgeon. Standardised, but unstructured, post-operative rehabilitation instructions were provided.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the rate, pattern, and severity of symptoms of nerve dysfunction after hip arthroscopy (HA) by reviewing prospectively collected data. The secondary purpose was to study whether symptoms of nerve dysfunction were related to traction time.

Methods: From March to October 2010, 52 consecutive patients-27 male patients (mean age, 40 years; range, 21 to 63 years) and 25 female patients (mean age, 37 years; range, 15 to 60 years), underwent HA with labral repair, rim trimming, and osteoplasty.

Background: Experimental studies suggest that surgical injury may up- or down-regulate nociceptive function. Therefore, the aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of elective arthroscopically assisted knee surgery on nociceptive responses to a heat injury.

Methods: Seventeen patients scheduled to undergo repair of the anterior cruciate ligament and 16 healthy controls were studied.
