Editorial Commentary: A Majority of Athletes Return to Sport After Hip Arthroscopy and Show Mid-Term Durability Regardless of High Impact Activity.

At least 3 of 4 athletes will not only return to sport after hip arthroscopy but also maintain durability in their sport regardless of high-impact activity. Hoping our injured athletes can return to sport after their injury would prove an insufficient answer to our injured patients' expectations of a mathematically precise answer. As it turns out, Mathematical Hope exists as a term to describe the way we calculate probability. Because scientific research has shed light on the great outcomes that can be obtained from the arthroscopic treatment of a joint, we are now able to witness amazing comeback stories in the news and incredible outcomes from short- to long-term in scientific journals. Hip arthroscopy has now been supported by numerous research publications, turning our doubts into certainties, as high return to sport rates at high levels of performance are increasingly published.
