Article Synopsis
- Hip arthroscopy (HA) is a common surgical treatment for hip joint issues, but some doctors advocate for non-operative management (NOM), such as physiotherapy or watchful waiting.
- A study compared the outcomes of patients with hip pathology who received no active treatment while awaiting HA versus those who underwent HA, focusing on patient-reported outcomes like the Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS).
- Results showed that patients who had HA experienced significantly better clinical outcomes, with higher NAHS and Modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS) after surgery compared to those who only had NOM.
