Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome-efficacy of surgical treatment with regards to age and basic diagnosis
2015
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of hip preserving surgery for femoroacetabular impingement relative to the condition resulting in FAI and to the patient's age at the time of the surgery. As testing of our cohort of patients and results analysis showed, the youngest group (<30 years) compared with the rest of the cohort shows greater postoperative improvement and consequently also a better surgical result.
Proof was also obtained that the diagnosis leading to surgery for FAI has no effect on the patient's pre- or postoperative state or on the degree of improvement. The results of the study affirm the relevance of hip preserving surgery, especially in younger-aged groups.
