  • Abstract

    Purpose: To assess differences in postoperative outcomes between male and female patients following hip arthroscopy.

    Methods: A systematic review was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed databases were searched. Key words included “hip,” “arthroscopy,” “outcome,” “gender difference,” “sex difference,” “gender,” and “patient-reported outcome.” Studies were included that reported sex-specific analysis of outcomes following primary hip arthroscopy with minimum 2-year follow-up. Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies criteria were applied to each study. Data collected included patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), complications, rates of revision arthroscopy (RA), and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). Forest plots were generated for the most frequently reported PROMs, RA, and THA rates.
