Editorial Commentary: A Majority of Athletes Return to Sport After Hip Arthroscopy and Show Mid-Term Durability Regardless of High Impact Activity
At least 3 of 4 athletes will not only return to sport after hip arthroscopy but also maintain durability in their sport regardless of high-impact activity. Hoping our injured athletes can return to sport after their injury would prove an insufficient answer to our injured patients’ expectations of a mathematically precise answer. As it turns out, Mathematical Hope exists as a term to describe the way we calculate probability. Because scientific research has shed light on the great outcomes that can be obtained from the arthroscopic treatment of a joint, we are now able to witness amazing comeback stories in the news and incredible outcomes from short- to long-term in scientific journals.
