Editorial Commentary: Revision Hip Arthroscopy Provides Clinically Meaningful Improvements.

Abstract

Revision hip arthroscopy, like primary hip arthroscopy, is being performed more frequently. Questions remain regarding the clinical value of this surgical intervention, especially considering previous studies that demonstrate lower baseline patient-reported outcomes scores before and after surgery. Evaluation of the clinical utility and value of revision hip arthroscopy, and indeed all surgical interventions, need be performed using validated patient-reported outcomes in light of these clinically significant thresholds and changes, beyond just statistical differences.
