Evaluation of Non-Surgical and Arthroscopic Treatment for Hip Microinstability

Prospective Evaluation of Non-Surgical and Arthroscopic Treatment for Hip Microinstability

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Microinstability of the hip joint is an important cause of hip pain and reduced hip function in young and active individuals. Hip microinstability is due to extraphysiologic hip motion and could be secondary to acetabular dysplasia, connective tissue disorder, macrotrauma, microtrauma, iatrogenic- and idiopathic causes. Treatment for hip microinstability is initiated with non-surgical treatment consisting of physiotherapy aimed mainly at stability. If non-surgical treatment fails, surgery with arthroscopic plication of the hip joint capsule is the preferred method. This study evaluates non-surgical and arthroscopic treatment for hip microinstability regarding hip function and adverse events.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing non-surgical physical therapy versus arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery for people with hip microinstability — a condition where the hip joint is slightly too loose, causing pain and reduced function. The goal is to find out which approach leads to better outcomes for patients. You may be eligible if... - You are at least 18 years old - You have been diagnosed with hip microinstability You may NOT be eligible if... - You have hip osteoarthritis - You have severe hip dysplasia - You have Perthes disease or avascular necrosis of the femoral head (a condition where the bone tissue in the hip dies) - You have previously had surgery on the affected hip joint Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
