Recreational golfers who underwent hip arthroscopy for labral tears experienced significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes and a high rate of return to sport, according to results published in Orthopedics.

Benjamin G. Domb, MD, and colleagues recorded data on return to sport, surgical complications and secondary surgeries among 49 recreational golfers who underwent hip arthroscopy between August 2008 and February 2015. Researchers also collected measures for the modified Harris hip score, nonarthritic hip score, hip outcome score–sports specific subscale and VAS for pain at a minimum 2-year follow-up.
