With Proper Surgical Indications, Sex-Based Differences in Pathology Do Not Impact Hip Arthroscopy Outcomes or Complications: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To identify sex-based differences in pathology, outcomes, and complications after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and to compare patient-reported outcomes (PRO) scores between males and females.

Methods: The PubMed and MEDLINE databases were searched in September 2024, according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Included studies had data stratified by sex, minimum 2-year patient reported outcome (PRO) scores for hip arthroscopy in the setting of FAI and labral pathology, and a 2014 or later publication date.
