Responsiveness and ceiling effects are key properties of an outcome score. No such data have been reported for the original English version of the International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT-12) at a follow-up of more than four months. The aim of this study was to identify the responsiveness and ceiling effects of the English version iHOT-12 in a series of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for intra-articular hip pathology at a minimum of one year postoperatively. A total of 171 consecutive patients undergoing hip arthroscopy with a diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) under the care of a single surgeon between January 2013 and March 2017 were included. iHOT-12 and EuroQol 5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L) scores were available pre- and postoperatively. Effect size and ceiling effects for the iHOT-12 were calculated with subgroup analysis.Aims
Methods
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of
an enhanced recovery program (ERP) on the short-term functional
outcome after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Secondary outcomes included
its effect on rates of dislocation and mortality. Data were gathered on 1161 patients undergoing primary THA which
included 611 patients treated with traditional rehabilitation and
550 treated with an ERP. Aims
