Comparing capsular closure techniques in hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement

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 investigates the effects of capsular closure versus non-capsular closure during hip arthroscopy in patients diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). It aims to determine if capsular closure leads to better patient-reported outcomes compared to leaving the capsule open after surgery. Patients will undergo a minimum of three months of physiotherapy before being considered for surgery. The outcomes will be measured using validated patient-reported outcome measures to assess the effectiveness of the surgical techniques.
