Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Baseball performance

Background:

  • Hip injuries are common in high-level baseball players.
  • Arthroscopic surgery is an option for treating hip pathologies in athletes.
  • Assessing outcomes and return to sport is crucial for this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of hip arthroscopy in intercollegiate and professional baseball players.
  • To assess functional improvement using the modified Harris Hip Score.
  • To determine the rate and timing of return to baseball post-arthroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective assessment of 44 hips in 41 baseball players over 12 years.
  • Utilized the modified Harris Hip Score for outcome measurement.
  • Included collegiate, professional, and Major League Baseball players with a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in modified Harris Hip Score (average 13 points, P < .001).
  • 95% of players (42 of 44 hips) returned to baseball at an average of 4.3 months.
  • 90% of players returned to their previous level of competition with no complications reported.

Conclusions:

  • Hip arthroscopy is a successful treatment for hip pathologies in high-level baseball players.
  • The procedure leads to significant functional improvement and a high rate of return to sport.
  • Athletes can expect to regain their pre-injury level of performance after arthroscopic hip surgery.
