BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE

The primary focus of treatment outcomes related to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been post-surgical outcomes. There is a paucity of literature investigating non-surgical outcomes.

This study reports longer-term outcomes than the original study, showing improvements in outcome scores at a mean follow-up of 2 years (1). Longer-term data are lacking for both post-surgical and non-surgical outcomes.

Therefore, the primary objective of this prospective study was to examine the success rate of a nonsurgical protocol, utilizing mandated rest, physical therapy (PT), activity modifications, and (if necessary) intra-articular injections.

There is a paucity of literature investigating non-surgical outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement.

This study will provide good discussion with patients and surgeons in a shared decision-making process.

METHODS

A prospective study following patients recruited for the original research (1).
