Function favoured with arthroscopy versus physiotherapy after 8 months in FAI .
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 hip surgery compared with physiotherapy and activity modification for the treatment of symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement: multicentre randomised controlled trial
BMJ. 2019 Feb 7;364:l185. doi: 10.1136/bmj.l185222 patients with femoroacetabular impingement were randomized to either arthroscopic surgery or to a tailored physiotherapy program. The purpose of this study was to compare functional scores, quality-of-life scores, and incidence of complications between the two groups at 8-month follow-up. Results for the primary outcome measure, the Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living (HOS ADL), demonstrated significantly higher scores in the arthroscopy group compared to the PT group at 8 months. Most secondary outcomes of changes in function and QoL scores significantly favoured the arthroscopy group as well. Crossover from the PT group to arthroscopy was recorded in 6 patients. Three complications, including infection and lateral cutaneous nerve injury, were recorded following arthroscopy.
