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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker expresses gratitude to the AOSSM on behalf of their co-authors. They discuss the potential benefits of hip arthroscopy, including improved patient satisfaction and a high rate of return to sport. However, the existing literature on return to sport rates after hip preservation surgery is varied, and there are limited testing programs available. The purpose of the study presented is to evaluate a novel return to sport testing protocol for athletes after FAI surgery. The speaker discusses the methodology and findings of the study, including correlations between the Y-balance test and patient-reported outcomes and readiness to return to sport. The speaker suggests that implementing Y-balance testing for hip athletes can aid in shared decision-making on when it is safe to return to sport after surgery.
