Brief summary

Taking 10,000 steps a day is promoted by The Centres of Disease Control and Prevention, and The American College of Sports Medicine to equate to a healthy level of physical activity (Pate et al, 1995). Through the use of wearable activity monitors, this study will objectively quantify the limitation in physical activity that hip labral tear patients subjectively report. The study aims to determine whether hip arthroscopic surgery improves physical activity, pain, and quality of life. Satisfaction with surgery will also be assessed and provide further insight into the efficacy of arthroscopic hip surgery.

Interventions

Arthroscopic hip surgery entails inserting a small camera into the hip joint to enable the surgeon to view, diagnose and treat hip pathology of the labrum, articular cartilage, or other soft tissues surrounding the joint. The surgeon inserts other instruments through separate incisions to smooth off or repair torn cartilage, trim bone spurs and/or remove inflamed synovial tissue. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes.

Inclusion criteria

- Patients with acetabular labrum pathology who are candidates for arthroscopic hip surgery as determined by the surgeon and patient. - Patients who understand the conditions of the study and are willing to participate with follow up

Exclusion criteria

- Previous major ipsilateral hip surgery. - Evidence of boney hip pathology other than femoroacetabular impingement (e.g. fracture, avascular necrosis, osteomyelitis, osseous neoplasm). - Women who are pregnant or seeking to become pregnant during the study period. - Patients who are a prisoner, currently being treated for a psychiatric disorder, senile dementia, Alzheimers disease, or known alcohol abuse - Patients with comorbidities rendering them house-bound with severe mobility impairment (e.g. Limb amputation, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular DystrophyParkinson’s Disease, cerebrovascular accident, lower limb fracture, severe back pain). - Patients with known metal allergy.
