Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome significantly impacts athletic performance across various sports. Recent literature shows high overall return-to-sport rates (87%-93%) following surgical treatment, particularly with arthroscopic approaches, though return to preinjury performance levels varies (55%-83%). Athletes typically resume sport within 4 to 8 months postsurgery, with outcomes influenced by factors like symptom duration, rehabilitation adherence, and sport-specific demands. Professional athletes generally show better outcomes than recreational athletes, though many experience temporary performance declines in their first season back. Early intervention and sport-specific rehabilitation protocols appear crucial for optimal outcomes.
