Increased cross-sectional area of the gluteus maximus after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement correlates with patient-reported outcomes

Key Points

• The research investigates the effect of hip arthroscopy on gluteus maximus muscle size and its relationship with patient-reported outcomes.
• Examined cross-sectional area of gluteus maximus and minimus muscles after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement.
• Measured patient-reported outcomes at 1-year follow-up to assess recovery implications.
• Significant increase in cross-sectional area of gluteus maximus and minimus muscles post-surgery.
• Positive correlation observed between increased gluteus maximus size and improved patient-reported outcomes.
