Does Spine Pathology Influence Hip Arthroscopy Outcomes? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Key Points

• This research aims to determine how preexisting spinal pathology affects outcomes after hip arthroscopy.
• Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis.
• Compared outcomes of patients with and without spinal pathology.
• Analyzed patient-reported outcomes, revision rates, and conversion to arthroplasty.
• Patients with spinal pathology reported significantly worse outcomes post-surgery.
• Higher rates of revision arthroscopy were observed in patients with spinal issues.
• Increased conversions to total hip arthroplasty were noted for patients with spinal pathology.
