Abstract

Hip arthroscopic surgery improves patient-reported outcomes in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and/or hip chondropathy. The minimal clinically important change on a pain visual analog scale has now been calculated in this patient group, and the pain level 1 year after surgery has been related to function. Next step: identifying what causes pain and decreased function 1 year after surgery.
