Abstract Purpose The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the trends in literature regarding surgical treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and present which patient-reported outcome-measures (PROMs) approaches are included. Methods This conducted with PRISMA guidelines. search performed on PubMed Embase, covering studies from 1999 2020. Inclusion criteria were clinical FAIS, use PROMs as evaluation tool English. Exclusion patients < 18 years, cohorts 8 patients, primarily purpose other diagnoses than FAIS radiographs only outcomes without using PROMs. Data extracted author, year, intervention, type study, level evidence, demographics included Results initial yielded 2,559 studies, 196 There an increase 2,043% number first last five years (2004–2008)—(2016–2020). 135 (69%) retrospective, 55 (28%) prospective 6 (3%) Randomized Controlled Trials. Level evidence ranged I-IV where III most common (44%). More half (58%) originated USA. Arthroscopic surgery (85%). Mean follow-up 27.0 months (± 17 SD), (range 1.5–120 months). Between 1–10 included, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) commonly used (61%). Conclusion has been a continuous published majority evaluating arthroscopic surgery. mHHS remains being PROM.
