Abstract
Physicians caring for athletes must provide accurate prognoses for return to sport (RTS). Regarding hip arthroscopy, the number of athletes being indicated for surgery is increasing, and the athletes are trending younger. Recent research shows that almost 90% of college athletes RTS after hip arthroscopy. The procedure is career-prolonging, rather than career-ending surgery. Finally, RTS is not equivalent to "performance," i.e., RTS at the same level or greater.
