Aim

The current literature indicates that hip arthroscopy is safe in both adolescents and adults with good early outcomes but there are no available studies that directly compare the outcomes of this procedure for mixed indications between these two groups.

Method

This was a prospective cohort study of 102 consecutive supine hip arthroscopies in 96 patients (48 adolescent (<18) hips, mean age 13.9 years and 54 adult (>18 hips), mean age 33.8 years) at a tertiary referral paediatric and adult university hospital followed-up for a minimum of two years. Patient demographics, indications for surgery, Modified Harris Hip (MHHS) and Non-Arthritic Hip (NAHS) scores, operative interventions and complications were recorded.
