Objectives: Setting appropriate expectations for orthopedic surgery functional outcomes can contribute to postoperative motivation and satisfaction. For hip arthroscopy, the literature is limited regarding patients’ returning sport. This study aims compare preoperative with return-to-sport status in patients who underwent primary arthroscopy. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort of Return sport were recorded preoperatively. preinjury was assessed along updated at minimum 1 year follow-up after (range 1.1 2.6 years; mean 2.0 years). The proportion expected return compared actual rates. Results: Thirty-five arthroscopy prospectively recruited. Preoperatively, 31 (88.6%) their level, while only 16 (45.7%) actually returned that level. 34 (97.1%) main 22 (62.9%) returned. 9/35 lower 10/35 had completely given up original by time follow-up. All 11 reported change chose impact sport, transitioning from tennis, running, kickboxing, frisbee, volleyball cycling, pilates, walking, yoga. Logistical regression found no significant difference between level when controlling age, BMI, gender. Conclusions: rates following surgery. Although high recovery, majority did not portion all. took different went one low impact. These data provide more realistic undergoing
