Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Femoroacetabular Impingement; Musculoskeletal - Other muscular and skeletal disorders; Surgery - Surgical techniques

• Registration Number: ACTRN12615000680561
• Lead Sponsor: Matthew Brick

Brief Summary

This trial looked at post op MRI scans of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. The patients were randomised to 1. having their capsulotomy repaired and 2. not having their capsulotomy repaired. MRI scans did not show any difference. Both groups showed repaired capsules at 24 weeks.
