Editorial Commentary: Patients With Generalized Ligamentous Laxity Recover Slower and Have More Pain but Eventually
1McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Abstract:
Patients with generalized ligamentous laxity undergoing hip arthroscopy have traditionally been challenging for hip arthroscopists when setting preoperative expectations. Recent literature confirms slower recovery, increased pain, and worse patient-reported outcomes in the near postoperative period before ultimate normalization in the midterm, providing valuable evidence when counseling patients on the trajectory of their recovery.
