Summary
This study follows 747 young, active people (ages 14-40) who had hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Researchers want to find out which patient traits, disease features, and surgical factors lead to the best outcomes. Participants fill out surveys about pain, function, and quality of life over time. The goal is to help doctors and patients make better decisions about surgery.
