PG - 549-555 LID - 10.1097/BPB.0000000000000793 [doi] AB - This study sought to determine outcomes of a graduated management protocol from therapy to arthroscopy for adolescents presenting with hip pain and an associated acetabular tear. Thirty-seven hips with an MRI confirmed labral tear were prospectively enrolled in a graduated management protocol created for adolescents. The protocol began with activity modification and focused physical therapy. Patients with persistent symptoms were offered an intraarticular corticosteroid injection. Those with continued symptoms were treated with arthroscopic surgery. The modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and nonarthritic hip score (NAHS) were recorded at the initial visit. Patients were contacted by telephone at 1, 2, and 5 years from enrollment for repeat assessment with mHHS and NAHS. At presentation, the mean mHHS and NAHS for the entire cohort was 66.4 +/- 11.4 and 70.2 +/- 12.6, and these values improved significantly to 89.3 +/- 10.6 and 87.0 +/- 11.4 at a mean follow-up of 35.7 +/- 18.3 months (range 11.7-64.4 months). Forty-two percent of hips were managed with physical therapy and activity modifications alone, 28% of hips progressed to a steroid injection but did not require surgery, and 31% required arthroscopic intervention. Seventy-three percent of hips treated with activity modification alone, 80% treated with an injection, and 82% of hips treated with arthroscopic repair met the minimal clinically significant difference (MCID) (P = 0.859). At an average of 36 months follow-up, the majority (78%) of adolescent patients with an acetabular labral tear will achieve the MCID utilizing a graduated management protocol.
