Nonoperative management prior to hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome: An investigation into the utilization and content of physical therapy

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy May 22, 2019

Young JL, et al. - In this observational cohort study, researchers assessed the utilization of physical therapy before hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome by analyzing the number of visits and the use of exercise. They also focused on the link between comorbidities before surgery and the use of physical therapy. From 2004 to 2013, eligible patients (aged between 18 and 50) undergoing hip arthroscopy in the Military Health System were included. Findings revealed that the use of physical therapy before undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery was not common in this setting. No visit to a physical therapist was made by 1106 (59.1%) of overall 1870 participants, for their hip prior to surgery. A link was found between substance abuse and exercise prescription. They noted that no other comorbidities were related to physical therapy or exercise therapy utilization.
