Where this comes from

Abstract

In a cohort of over 7,000 patients, the rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty after hip arthroscopy was 12.4%. Increased age, the presence of osteoarthritis, the presence of obesity, and low surgeon volume were all independent risk factors for a higher rate of revision.
