Crutch Use After Arthroscopic Hip Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Hip Injuries; Hip Fractures
• Interventions: Other: 2 weeks of partial weight bearing on crutches; Other: 4 weeks of partial weight bearing on crutches

• Registration Number: NCT04070430
• Lead Sponsor: NYU Langone Health

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether crutch use for 4 weeks following hip arthroscopic surgery is superior to crutch use for 2 weeks following hip arthroscopic surgery. The primary objective of the study is to compare PRO scores between patients who have used crutches for 2 weeks and patients who have used crutches for 4 weeks.

Detailed Description

This will be a single-center, randomized prospective study. The study will compare post-operative patient reported outcome (PRO) scores including the modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and the non arthritic hip score (NAHS), both are externally-validated surveys for hip function. One cohort will be assigned a rehabilitation regimen that includes 2 weeks of partial weight bearing on crutches, and the other will be assigned a regimen of 4 weeks of partial weight.
