Leg rotation during hip surgery for impingement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing the rotation of your leg during hip arthroscopy (a keyhole surgery) improves outcomes for people with hip impingement syndrome. It may help you if you have persistent hip pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have hip pain that hasn't improved after at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or anti-inflammatory medication.
- Your hip bones are fully grown (skeletal maturity).
- You have never had surgery on your hip, thigh bone, or shin bone that changed how the bones rotate.
- You do not have other hip conditions like avascular necrosis, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, or a slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
- You are not pregnant or at risk from radiation exposure (e.g., from X-rays).

This study compares hip positioning (acetabular angle) with pelvic tilt in people with femoro-acetabular impingement and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand hip mechanics and how they relate to symptoms and planning for arthroscopy surgery.
This study measures how your hip moves (the “mechanics”) using clinical exams and imaging. It may help researchers understand hip movement problems in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) before major joint damage develops.
This trial tests if giving testosterone before hip arthroscopy (a minimally invasive hip surgery) helps men with low testosterone recover better. It is for men who have a hip impingement problem called FAI with a labral tear.
This study tests a new way to position patients during hip keyhole surgery to reduce injury to the groin area from pulling. If you are having hip arthroscopy for a condition called femoroacetabular impingement, this trial might help make your recovery smoother.
This study follows people before and after hip arthroscopy to treat femoroacetabular impingement (a condition where the hip bones pinch together). It measures strength, mobility, and daily function to see how recovery progresses over 6 months.
This trial looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
