To evaluate the influence of spinopelvic parameters on short-term postoperative patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following primary hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy between January 2012 and December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Hip Outcome Score – Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score – Sports-Specific Subscale, modified Harris Hip Score, International Hip Outcome Tool-12, and visual analog scale pain were recorded preoperatively and at final follow-up. Lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope, and pelvic incidence (PI) were measured on lateral radiographs in standing position. Patients were split into subgroups for individual analyses based on previous literature cutoffs: |PI-LL|> or or 10°) versus those without, whereas patients with mismatch achieved PASS according to the modified Harris Hip Score (P = .037) and International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (P = .030) at greater rates. When we compared patients with a PT ≥20° versus PT 10° or PT >20°) achieved a greater rate of PASS. IV; Prognostic case series.
