Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals who are scheduled for surgical intervention for hip conditions like femoroacetabular impingement.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with pre-existing hip conditions or those who have had prior revision surgeries may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study assesses the outcomes of hip preservation surgeries, specifically focusing on open and arthroscopic treatments for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). It involves the collection of data from approximately 10,000 patients at Yale-New Haven Hospital, both prospectively and retrospectively. The primary goal is to determine the effectiveness of hip arthroscopy in improving post-operative outcomes compared to pre-operative measures. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction and the success of recent advancements in arthroscopic procedures through longitudinal follow-up.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction for individuals undergoing hip preservation surgeries.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches in hip preservation, indicating potential for success.
