Abstract
Hip arthroscopy has proved its efficacy and value in the management of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome in recreational and professional athletes. However, needs, expectations, and economic burden are remarkable and astonishingly different within the elite sport world. When considering hip arthroscopy to address a femoroacetabular impingement condition, 3 big questions are asked by every athlete and must be answered: (1) Can I play again? (2) Will I play at the same level? (3) When can I return to sport? Regarding the National Basketball Association, approximately 88% of athletes return to play at the same level in about 6 months.
