Comparing absorbable and non-absorbable sutures for hip surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to prospectively compare the effectiveness of absorbable sutures versus non-absorbable sutures used for capsular repair during hip arthroscopic procedures. Major outcomes will be assessed using various patient-reported questionnaires, including the International Hip Outcome Tool-12, modified Harris hip score, and hip outcome score, along with standard care questionnaires at multiple follow-up points. Additionally, the study will evaluate any radiographic heterotrophic ossification at the 6-month follow-up. The goal is to determine which type of suture provides better outcomes for patients undergoing hip surgery.
