Beck EC, Drager J, Nwachukwu BU, et al. - This study was sought to correlate the effect of age and gender on achieving meaningful outcomes among minimum patients 5-years after undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Researchers examined consecutive patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS by a single fellowship-trained surgeon between 1/2012 and 10/2014. The study enrolled a total of 340 patients with 5-year follow up, 150 were matched by gender and age into one of the following groups: female patients < 30 years, female patients 30-45 years, female patients > 45 years, male patients < 30 years, male patients 30-45 years, and male patients > 45 years of age. After arthroscopic FAIS surgery, the majority of patients achieve clinically significant outcome improvement at a 5-year follow-up. Compared with males, females reach the modified Harris hip score (mHHS) threshold for achieving MCID at significantly higher rates. Compared with patients > 45 years old, patients < 30 years of age achieved PASS on the HOS-ADL and mHHS threshold scores at higher rates.
