Return to Sport and Testing following Hip Arthroscopy For FAI in High School and Collegiate Athletes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the importance of hip arthroscopy in improving patient satisfaction and allowing a high rate of return to sport when performed properly. It highlights the lack of available return to sport testing programs for hip preservation surgery and the need for guidance for athletes, surgeons, and sports medicine professionals. The study evaluated a novel return to sport testing protocol for athletes after FAI surgery, involving 50 hips in 43 athletes. The results showed correlations between the Y-balance test and improved patient-reported outcomes and readiness to return to sport. The findings suggest that incorporating Y-balance testing can help counsel patients on when it is safe to return to sports after hip preservation surgery. No credits were mentioned.
