Clinical Outcomes of Primary Versus Revision Hip Arthroscopic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Patients undergoing revision hip arthroscopic surgery were less likely to achieve clinically significant improvements in postoperative patient-reported outcomes and exhibited a higher risk of complications and conversion to total hip arthroplasty compared with patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopic surgery. These findings suggest that outcomes are optimized in the primary setting, and surgeons should appropriately counsel patients regarding expectations after revision hip arthroscopic surgery.
