Objective
To identify specific benchmarks and factors that predict better outcomes for patients after revision hip arthroscopy, helping to set realistic expectations for symptom improvement.
Key Findings
- Around 50% of patients achieved a symptom state they found acceptable after revision hip arthroscopy.
- Key score thresholds (e.g., 76 on the Harris Hip Score) were identified to predict favorable outcomes.
- Patients with a BMI of 25.4 or less had better chances of achieving positive outcomes.
Conclusion
These findings provide valuable thresholds for setting expectations for symptom relief after revision hip arthroscopy. Maintaining a healthy BMI may improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.
What Does This Mean For Patients
If you're considering revision hip arthroscopy, these benchmarks can help you understand what to expect in terms of symptom relief. Maintaining a healthy BMI can improve your chances of achieving a good outcome.
