First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares a new traction method that avoids using a perineal post during hip arthroscopy to the standard method. The goal is to see if it reduces nerve injuries, pain, and other complications. 270 people with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome will be randomly assigned to one of the two traction techniques.
