Bilateral Hip Arthoscopy in Sport Population: Two Years Follow-up

ObjectivesThe goal of this study is to evaluate if are there more risks and complications in bilateral hip arthroscopy than unilateral hip arthroscopy.MethodsWe included 96 patients (113 hips) with femoroacetabular impingement underwent hip arthroscopy between January 2010 and December 2012. These were divided into two groups: Group I with bilateral hip arthroscopy (n=34) and Group II with unilateral hip arthroscopy (n=79). We evaluated traction time between groups, medical rest time (weeks), and the fluid (liters) used during hip arthroscopy. For clinical follow up we used VAS scale and HOS scale pre-operative, at 1 week, 3 months, and 2 years of follow up.ResultsTraction time in group I was 34.4 (21-111) minutes and in group II was 70.3 minutes (35.3 minutes per hip) (p=0.7). Medical rest time was 5.71 weeks in group I and 4.93 weeks in group II (p=0.67). The fluid used in surgery was 30.47 lts in group II, and 61.44 in group I 30.73 per hip (p=0.5). VAS scale showed no statistical differences between groups at 1 week, 3 months, and 2 years of follow up. HOS showed no statistical differences between both groups at 3 months and 2 years of follow up.ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that bilateral hip arthroscopy does not increase risks and complications associated with hip arthroscopy.
