Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Correlates With Increased Postoperative Complications and Rates of Conversion to Total Hip Arthroplasty Following Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome

Key Points

• The research aims to analyze the link between Type 1 diabetes and postoperative outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.
• Conducted a retrospective comparative case-control analysis.
• Compared postoperative complications between patients with and without Type 1 diabetes.
• Assessed rates of conversion to total hip arthroplasty post-surgery.
• Increased postoperative complications observed in patients with Type 1 diabetes.
• Higher rates of conversion to total hip arthroplasty in the diabetic cohort.
• Findings indicate a significant impact of diabetes on surgical outcomes.
