Editorial Commentary: How Do We Measure Return-to-Sport “Success” After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement?

Abstract

Hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement has generally been considered to enjoy a high rate of success. These patients tend to be young and active. One measure of "success" has been return to sport.
