A Matched-Pair Controlled Study of Arthroscopic Psoas Tenotomy with Minimum 2-Year Follow-Up: Do Patients with Psoas Tenotomy Achieve Similar Outomes?

Objectives: It is unknown whether pateints undergoing tenotomy for painful internal snapping at the time of hip arthroscopy can expect equivalent functional outcome to patients undergoing hip arthroscopy without tenotomy. The contribution of the psoas tendon and hip capsule to hip stability is also currently debated. The purpose of this matched study is to (1) compare two-year outcome scores in a study group who underwent psoas tenotomy to a matched control group who did not have a psoas tenotomy, and (2) perform a subgroup analysis of the study group comparing capsular repair to capsular release.
