Change in Postoperative Weightbearing Protocol Does Not Increase Postoperative Complications Following Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
Abstract:Background
Postoperative rehabilitation protocols, including weightbearing restrictions following hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoracetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), vary widely among surgeons, from complete non-weightbearing to immediate weightbearing as tolerated; it is unclear if weightbearing restrictions affect short-term outcomes in patients undergoing HA. The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS before and after a change in weightbearing protocol… Show more
