Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes for patients that receive two different treatments used for FAI (Femoroacetabular Impingement). The programs are 1) a 6-week supervised physical therapy program and 2) arthroscopic surgery. Enrollment is limited to patients that have already been determined surgical candidates. The study is following patients for a 2-year period.

Conditions

  • Femoroacetabular Impingement

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Arthroscopic Surgery

The hip arthroscopy will consist of acetabular rim trimming, labral repair or debridement and femoroplasty, all as indicated based on the surgeon's clinical judgment with input from pre-operative imaging, exam findings and intra-operative findings.

PROCEDURE

Physical Therapy

Subjects will participate in two 45-minute sessions for six weeks (total of 12 sessions). The physical therapy treatment plan will be based on individual impairments identified during the initial evaluation, and include manual therapy to the hip, lumbar spine, and pelvis, as well as therapeutic exercise all tailored to individual patient impairments.
