No difference in endoscopic iliopsoas tendon release techniques for snapping hip syndrome .
Prospective randomized study of 2 different techniques for endoscopic iliopsoas tendon release in the treatment of internal snapping hip syndrome
Arthroscopy. 2009 Feb;25(2):159-63.

Results at one year follow up indicated that both groups improved from preoperative WOMAC scores, but there were no significant differences between these points of surgical release.
