PurposeTo compare early outcomes of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) with concomitant hip arthroscopy to isolated hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and chondrolabral pathology using patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS).Materials And MethodsConsecutive patients scheduled for PAO with concomitant hip arthroscopy (PAO + HA) or isolated hip arthroscopy (HA) between the ages of 15 and 30 years old were prospectively included in the study. Based on power analysis, subjects were recruited until there were 22 subjects in the PAO + HA group. These subjects were then gender matched to the HA group. The PROMIS, with six subscales and two global health measures, were completed during preoperative and 6-month follow-up visits. One-way ANOVA was performed to compare intake information of age, symptom duration, body mass index, and Beighton scores as well as preoperative and 6-month postoperative PROMIS scores between the PAO + HA and HA.Results22 consecutive subjects undergoing PAO + HA were all females (average age 20.0 years) and matched to 22 consecutive females (average age 22.6) in the HA group. ANOVA did not find a significant difference between the two groups when comparing intact information, with exception of age (p = 0.04). A significant difference was also not identified (p ≥ 0.05) between the two groups on preoperative or 6-month postoperative PROMIS scores. The largest difference in 6-month postoperative scores between the two groups was 4.4 points on physical function subscale.ConclusionOutcomes at 6 months were not significantly different when comparing PAO + HA to HA for FAI and chondrolabral pathology in females under 30 years of age. The more extensive surgery with a prolonged protective period associated with PAO do not seem to negatively impact outcomes at 6 months when compared to HA. These finding support the use of PAO + HA, particularly if the patient and/or surgeon were concerned about prolonged disability, metal health issues, and/or higher pain levels that might be associated with the PAO procedure.© 2021.
