Sponsor

University of Wisconsin, Madison

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the hips of people who undergo revision hip arthroscopy look different from the hips of people whose hip pain is resolved with the first hip arthroscopy and of people who choose the steroid injection for pain management.
