Abstract
The presence of hip paralabral cysts on magnetic resonance imaging is associated with labral tears and more extensive chondral damage. The 2-year follow-up results of patients with paralabral cysts are equivalent to patients who do not have paralabral cysts. However, since paralabral cysts are associated with more prearthritic hip cartilage damage, surgically addressing these hips sooner could yield better outcomes. Further research is needed to see if performing hip arthroscopy on patients with paralabral cysts more urgently yields better long-term outcomes than delaying surgery.
