Background:There is a rapidly growing body of literature on the topic of hip
arthroscopic surgery.Purpose:To provide an overall summary of systematic reviews published on the
indications, complications, techniques, outcomes, and information related to
hip arthroscopic surgery.Study Design:Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.Methods:A systematic review of all hip arthroscopic surgery–related systematic
reviews published between January 2000 and May 2018 was performed using
PubMed, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library. Narrative reviews and non-English
articles were excluded.Results:A total of 837 articles were found, of which 85 met the inclusion criteria.
Included articles were summarized and divided into 6 major categories based
on the subject of the review: femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), non-FAI
indications, surgical technique, outcomes, complications, and
miscellaneous.Conclusion:A summary of systematic reviews on hip arthroscopic surgery can provide
surgeons with a single source for the most current synopsis of the available
literature. As the prevalence of orthopaedic surgeons performing hip
arthroscopic surgery increases, updated evidence-based guidelines must
likewise be advanced and understood to ensure optimal patient
management.
