Video Summary

The speaker discusses a study conducted at the American Hip Institute in Chicago, focusing on the outcomes of hip arthroscopy in female athletes. They address the lack of research on this topic despite the increasing number of female athletes being treated for hip issues. The study examined the minimum two-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and return to sport for elite female athletes who underwent hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) treatment. The results showed favorable outcomes for female athletes, with a similar return-to-sport rate as male athletes. However, there were baseline differences between groups and certain limitations to consider. Overall, the study highlights the positive effects of hip arthroscopy for female athletes with FAI.
