Arthroscopic Treatment of Patients in Horsens and Aarhus With FemoroAcetabular Impingement: the HAFAI-cohort

Summary

Purpose: The aim of this prospective cohort is to evaluate patients before, 6 and 12 months after arthroscopic surgery for FAI and compare the results to people without hip problems.

Methods/design: Sixty patients with FAI and 30 persons without hip problems will be included. Pre- and postoperatively, patients will be evaluated by CT-scans. All participants will have their hip flexor and extensor muscle strength assessed and have performed kinetic and kinematic analyses of daily activities with 3D motion capture. Further, self-reported questionnaires on hip related pain, quality of life and sports activities will be collected. Finally, participants will have their daily physical activity monitored with tri-axial accelerometers for five consecutive days.

Perspectives: With this prospective cohort study the outcome of arthroscopic treatment of FAI within one year after surgery will be evaluated. If the patients fail to reach reference values one year after surgery, altered surgical procedures or rehabilitation programs to optimize treatment for the patients may be explored in future studies. Further, the investigators expect to perform long-term follow up to evaluate reoperations, conversions to total hip arthroplasty and development of osteoarthritis for the patients surgically treated for FAI.
