Is the Use of a Postoperative Hip Orthosis Beneficial Following Routine Arthroscopy of the Hip? A Retrospective Cohort Study

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses a study on the routine use of postoperative hip bracing following hip arthroscopy for FAI (Femoroacetabular Impingement). The study aimed to determine if bracing had an impact on patient-reported outcome measures and re-operation rates. It involved a retrospective review of 193 patients who underwent hip arthroscopy at a single institution. Patient-reported outcomes were collected preoperatively and postoperatively at various intervals. The results showed no significant difference in patient-reported outcome measures or re-operation rates between the braced and non-braced groups. The study suggests that postoperative bracing may not significantly affect outcomes, and avoiding routine bracing can reduce costs and associated morbidity.
