The Impact of Hip Arthroscopy on the Progression of Hip Osteoarthritis in Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Hip arthroscopy (HA) for the surgical management of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) provides reliable improvements in pain and function; however, debate remains regarding the impact of HA on the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Purpose: To determine whether HA for FAIS reduces the progression of OA and the risk of conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). Study Design: Systematic review; level of evidence, 4. Methods: A systematic electronic search of articles in Medline, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases was performed under the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, with 5046 articles remaining after duplicates were removed. All papers addressing HA for FAIS that reported radiographic progression of hip OA with a follow-up of ≥2 years were eligible for inclusion. Studies assessing labral reconstruction, revision HA, case reports, studies with <10 patients, and patients with hip dysplasia or rheumatoid arthritis were excluded. A total of 322 studies progressed to full text, and 16 studies were ultimately included in this review. Studies were divided based on short-term (ST) (2 to <5 years), mid-term (MT) (5 to <10 years), and long-term (LT) (>10 years) follow-ups. A meta-analysis of homogenous studies and outcomes was performed, otherwise, descriptive statistics were presented. Results: = .35) decreased risk of conversion to THA/hip resurfacing with HA. For all studies, there was a progression of hip OA ranging from 0% to 37.1% for ST studies, 11.5% to 23% for MT studies, and 4.3% to 28% for LT studies. Conclusion: Our systematic review demonstrated that studies of patients undergoing HA for FAIS demonstrated increased radiographic progression of hip OA over time. Although significantly limited by only 2 retrospective cohort studies, subgroup analysis comparing operative versus nonoperative management demonstrated a 32% reduction in the radiographic progression of OA (any increase in grading) at the LT follow-up. However, there were no significant differences in the risk of THA/hip resurfacing. Future long-term, high-level controlled studies are needed to help further understand this important clinical question.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
