The primary objective of the study is to determine whether the surgical correction of the impingement morphology (arthroscopic osteochondroplasty) provides improved clinical results (decreased pain and improved function) compared to arthroscopic lavage of the hip joint. An embedded prospective cohort study was included in 2015 to overcome study biases and allow for the evaluation of both efficacy and effectiveness of the osteochondroplasty procedure.
Impact
This project represents the first randomised control trial in hip arthroscopy trial and is aimed towards identifying an effective surgical treatment for patients with FAI.
Student Experience
Students have had the opportunity to participate and present the findings of this project at international conferences.
