What are the rates of hip arthroscopy in Victoria, Australia and Denmark from 2012 to 2018

Abstract

Purpose: Hip pain is associated with reduced quality of life, function and compromised occupational and daily tasks. Bony variations such as cam morphology at the femoral head-neck junction are thought to cause femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) when associated with hip pain. FAI can increase the risk of progression to early hip osteoarthritis. Hip arthroscopy is an intervention commonly used therapeutically to manage hip symptoms by modification of cam morphology or hip joint structures thought to contribute to symptoms such as labral tears and cartilage pathology.
