Specialized Toolkit Series: Arthroscopic Hip Treatments-Return-to-Play Considerations

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses factors to consider for athletes returning to sports post-hip arthroscopy, emphasizing sport type, participation level, and recovery timeline. It highlights a 2017 study showing no significant sport-type-based difference in return rates among athletes. A report notes return-to-sport rates of 87-93%, with the average recovery time around seven months. Structured rehab protocols improve outcomes, though specific successful ones aren't identified. Effective guidelines should include phased activites, physical therapy exercises, and mental readiness components. Close monitoring and sport-specific rehab are crucial, mirroring ACL recovery approaches.
