Filan D, et al. - The present study was conducted to assess the effect of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) on both the physical and mental components of the 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) and evaluate how changes in health status compare with improvements in physical function and ability to continue to play (CTP) 2 years after surgery. Researchers enrolled 486 cases, age 25.9 ± 5.6 years. At 2 years, arthroscopic management of sports-related FAI results in excellent overall clinical outcome and high levels of satisfaction and CTP. This study’s findings demonstrate that chronic hip injury has a significant negative impact on the physical and mental well-being of athletes; corrective surgery may restore physical function but is more limited in its ability to improve mental health status in this athletic cohort.
