Hip arthroscopy improves hip function compared to PT for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome .
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.
Hip arthroscopy versus best conservative care for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (UK FASHIoN): a multicentre randomised controlled trial
Lancet. 2018 June 2;391(10136):2225-2235348 patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome were randomized to either arthroscopic intervention or a personal hip therapy programme. Patients were assessed after 6 and 12 months (primary endpoint) using the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33; primary outcome), the EQ-5D-5L and VAS, and the SF-12 measures, and were monitored for any adverse events. A cost-utility analysis was performed using quality-adjusted life-years generated from results on the EQ-5D-5L. Results demonstrated significantly greater iHOT-33 scores at 12 months in the arthroscopy group compared to the personalized hip therapy group, and the difference exceeded the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) threshold. Secondary outcome measures did not significantly differ between groups. The cost-effectiveness of arthroscopy compared to personalized hip therapy, however, was not demonstrated in the cost-utility analysis.
