What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The routine application of hip brace following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has no proven clinical benefits. This study will investigate whether the application of hip brace affects the post-operative course and patient reported outcomes in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Do I need to stop taking my current medications for this trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

Is the post-operative brace for hip arthroscopy recovery safe for humans?

Research indicates that using a post-operative brace after hip arthroscopy does not increase complications, suggesting it is generally safe for humans.12345

How does the post-operative brace for hip arthroscopy recovery differ from other treatments?

The post-operative brace for hip arthroscopy recovery is unique because it is designed to limit specific hip movements like abduction and internal rotation, but recent research suggests that eliminating the brace does not increase complications, indicating it may not be necessary for all patients.14567

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Brace for hip arthroscopy recovery?

Research suggests that using a hip brace after hip arthroscopic surgery can help protect repaired tissues during early recovery by reducing hip movement and acceleration, which may be beneficial for patients recovering from femoroacetabular impingement surgery.12678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults over 18 with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) who are set to have hip arthroscopy. It's not open to those who've had previous hip procedures on the same side or aren't suitable for surgery.

Inclusion Criteria

I have FAIS and am a candidate for hip surgery.

Exclusion Criteria

I am under 18 years old.
I have had surgery on the same hip before.
I have FAIS and cannot undergo surgery.
