Correlation of Short Form-36 and Disability Status with Outcomes of Arthroscopic Acetabular Labral Debridement

Abstract

The Short Form-36 demonstrated good correlation with the modified Harris hip score for measuring outcomes after arthroscopic partial limbectomy. Arthroscopic debridement yielded a high percentage of good results when patients undergoing disability evaluations were excluded. Disability status may be a negative predictor of success after hip arthroscopy.
