Postoperative Noncompliance in the Early Postoperative Period Is a Strong Negative Predictor of Patient-Reported Outcomes at 2 Years After Hip Arthroscopy
To evaluate the impact of noncompliance with functional restrictions on patient-reported outcomes following hip arthroscopy.
Analyzed patient adherence to functional restrictions and physical therapy after surgery.
Measured patient-reported outcomes at 2 years post hip arthroscopy using standardized surveys.
Noncompliance was found to be a strong independent risk factor for poor outcomes.
Patients who followed postoperative guidelines reported significantly better outcomes at 2 years.
Abstract
Noncompliance with functional restrictions and postoperative physical therapy is a strong independent risk factor for poor patient-reported outcomes at 2 years after hip arthroscopy.
