Which patients will benefit most from hip arthroscopy? Careful patient selection and conservative indications, such as patients with an alpha angle of 60° or greater or a lateral center-edge angle of 40° or greater who fail a trial of conservative treatment, may benefit from hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). In female patients in particular, a lower body mass index (BMI) will predict the most benefit from arthroscopic treatment. That said, patients with a higher BMI can also substantially improve after treatment of FAI. The true art of medicine is determining indications for an individual patient in addition to providing evidence-based counseling and education. We must not forget that sometimes "any improvement" can be a good outcome for a patient who is in pain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
