PG - 152-157 AB - PURPOSE: Previous research has demonstrated that there is a statistically significant relationship between hip arthroscopy outcomes and age. The purpose of this research was to investigate the link, if any, between hip arthroscopy outcomes and intraoperative pathology as well as with both patient age and sex. METHODS: All male patients 14 years of age or older who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and who had a 2-year patient-reported outcome scores were analyzed. These patients were separated into three age-based cohorts (< 30 years old, 30 to 45 years old, and > 45 years old). These cohorts were then analyzed and compared with respect to patient demographic information, intraoperative pathology, and functional outcome scores for statistical significance, set at p < 0.05. RESULTS: At 2-year follow-up, there was a significant difference seen between the modified Harris Hip scores (mHHS) of the < 30 years old and > 45 years old cohorts with a mean difference of 10.2 (92.05 +/- 10.3 and 81.89 +/- 16.7, p = 0.044). The results of an ANOVA comparing 2-year non-arthritic hip scores (NAHS) were not statistically significant (p = 0.196). At 2-year follow up, the NAHS scores were 92.18 +/- 10.3, 87.76 +/- 15.6, and 84.63 +/- 15.9 for the < 30 years old, 30 to 45 years old, and > 45 years old cohorts, respectively. When analyzing cohorts for rates of achieving a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS), however, there were no statistically significant differences between groups. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that males of all ages have generally good and similar outcomes following hip arthroscopy for FAI as determined by their similar rates of achieving both MCID and PASS.
