About this trial
The purpose of this study is to assess outcomes of hip preservation surgeries including open and arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Hip Outcome Score (iHOT-12)
iHOT-12 is a 12-item questionnaire scored using a visual analog scale from 0 to 100, with a score of 100 being the best function and least amount of symptoms, and the overall mean equates to the final iHOT score.
Change in Hip Outcome Score (HOS)
The HOS is a self-administered questionnaire with a scoring system composed of 2 sub-scales. The 19 item Activities of Daily Living (ADL) sub-scale and a 9 item Sports sub-scale. Both have a range of scores from 0 to 4, with 0 being 'unable to do' and 4, 'no difficulty'. N/A is also an option. The total score for each is multiplied by 4 with the highest potential ADL score bing no greater than 68 and the sports scale with the highest potential score being 36. An overall higher score from both sub-scales indicates a greater level of function.
Change in PROMIS questionnaire Score
PROMIS Physical function is a standardized computer adapted test which is able to quickly and effectively score patients on a scale of 0 (not able to function) to 100 (fully functional) based on their physical function. 100 would be a perfect score and 0 would be the worst possible score. Higher scores indicate better physical function.
Change in Sports Survey Score
The Chicago sports score asks athletes questions pertaining to their ability to return to sport. If they are able to return to sport it asks questions about their ability level since returning. Similarly, if they are not able to return to sport it asks questions regarding what has held them back. It is on a 100 point scale with 100 being the best possible outcome and 0 the lowest possible score. Higher scores indicate better ability to return to sports.
Secondary outcomes
Change in Patients Satisfaction Post Surgery
Participants will be asked to rate their level of satisfaction after surgery with 10 being extremely satisfied and 0 being not satisfied at all.
Psychometric thresholds of success will be assessed using anchor questions
Participants will be asked anchor questions which will be used to determine psychometric thresholds of success the psychometric threshold substantial clinical benefit (SCB). They will be asked whether they feel that their current symptoms are acceptable or not to them. This helps to establish the patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS). They will also be asked whether they feel that their hip is better worse or no different compared to before surgery. This will establish the psychometric threshold SCB.
