Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary outcome is to measure the effect of standard capsular repair versus<br /><br>unrepaired capsulotomy after hip arthroscopy on early postoperative pain. Our<br /><br>hypothesis is that a faster recovery (lower NRS pain) is reached in the repair<br /><br>group.<br /><br>This is measured with NRS pain scores weekly between -1 to 12 weeks by patient<br /><br>diary.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The secondary objective is to measure the effect of capsular repair on patient<br /><br>reported functional outcome scores measured with the HAGOS and iHOT-33<br /><br>questionnaires. These scores will be obtained during clinical visits at 6<br /><br>weeks, 12 weeks and 52 weeks.<br /><br>To evaluate level of sports the Tegner activity level scale will be obtained<br /><br>preoperatively and at 52 weeks follow-up.</p><br>
