Summary
This study compared two surgeries—hip arthroscopy (a less invasive scope) and total hip replacement—for people aged 40 to 60 with early hip osteoarthritis. The goal was to see which surgery better improves pain, symptoms, and daily function. The trial was stopped early, but results may help guide treatment choices for middle-aged patients.
