Arthroscopy for FAIS offers no difference in 2-year outcome vs. PT among active-duty service members .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Arthroscopic Surgery or Physical Therapy for Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial With 2-Year Follow-up
Am J Sports Med. 2018 May;46(6):1306-131480 individuals, predominantly active duty service members, with femoroacetabular impingement were randomized to either arthroscopic intervention or a 6-week physiotherapy programme consisting of 12 supervised PT sessions. Participants were assessed for hip-related functional outcome, including the Hip Outcome Score ADL and Sports subscales and the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33). Primary analysis demonstrated no significant differences between groups for any of the outcome measures. Due to a high degree of crossover from the PT group to arthroscopy (28/40 patients), sensitivity analysis was performed comparing those who had and had not undergo surgery by final follow-up. Similarly, no significant differences in hip-related functional outcomes were observed between groups.
