Criteria-Based Rehabilitation Following Revision Hip Arthroscopy: A Clinical Commentary.

Haley Leo, Trevor Shelton, Helen Bradley

PMID 37020439

WHAT IT FOUND

This paper proposes a criteria-based rehabilitation protocol for revision hip arthroscopy, moving through protection, endurance, strength, power, and return to sport.

It is a clinical commentary, not a study, so it offers expert recommendations rather than tested interventions.

What this paper is

This is a clinical commentary proposing a criteria-based rehabilitation protocol for revision hip arthroscopy. It describes the authors' suggested phases and exercises but reports no patient data, outcomes, or efficacy results, so there is nothing here to change your practice on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read the proposed five-phase protocol as evidence that criteria-based progression improves outcomes after revision hip arthroscopy. No patients were treated or measured in this paper; the protocol is an expert opinion that has not been tested against time-based progression.
