Short-Term Outcomes in Hip Arthroscopy Patients Participating in Formal Physical Therapy vs a Home Exercise Program: A Prospectively Enrolled Cohort Analysis

Video Summary

The video transcript summarizes a study comparing the short-term outcomes of patients with femoracetabular impingement syndrome treated with hip arthroscopy who enrolled in either a formal physical therapy program or a home exercise program. The study aimed to determine if there were any significant clinical differences in outcomes between the two groups. The study included 109 patients, with 46 in the formal therapy group and 63 in the home exercise group. At 12 months post-op, there were no significant differences between the groups in any of the scores or patient satisfaction. Both groups showed significant improvements compared to pre-operative scores. The study suggests that a well-designed home exercise program can be just as effective as formal therapy for post-operative rehabilitation.
