Absorbable vs Non-Absorbable Sutures for Hip Capsular Closure
This study is comparing two types of sutures, absorbable and non-absorbable, used during hip arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery for hip problems). The goal is to see which type of suture works better for closing the hip capsule after surgery for conditions like labrum injury or femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Researchers will measure success by asking participants to complete several questionnaires about their hip pain, function, and quality of life over 12 months after surgery. They will also check for any abnormal bone growth (heterotrophic ossification) on X-rays at 6 months. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older and need hip arthroscopy. The study plans to enroll 100 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study will compare two different types of sutures in 100 participants. It is not specified if participants or researchers will know which suture type is used.
- What's involved
- Participants will complete several questionnaires before surgery and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. Standard of care X-rays will also be used.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for up to 2 years after their surgery, with primary outcomes measured for 12 months.

What this trial measures
- International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (IHOT-12)Preoperative to 12 months postoperative
12-item patient-reported measure of health-related quality of life. It was designed to measure the impact of hip disease in young, active patients and to measure the effect of treatment of this disease. Each of the 12 questions assess hip function and are scored from 0-100. 0 is a low score and 100 is high score indicating excellent function. The IHOT-12 is scored from taking the average of the 12 items of the tool and is scored 0-100, 0 being a low score and poor function and 100 being a high score indicating excellent function.
- Modified Harris Hip scorePreoperative to 12 months postoperative
composed of 8 survey questions to determine gait, functionality and pain. Each question is scored with a separate scoring range. Higher scores indicate better function and less pain. The score is calculated by adding up the assigned points for each item, dividing by the max score (91), and multiplying by 100 to create a percentage. A higher score indicates a higher level of physical function, with 100% indicating full function.
- Hip Outcome Score (HOS)Preoperative to 12 months postoperative
28-item assessment that is divided into 2 subscales: activities of daily living (HOS-ADL;19 items) and sports-related activities (HOS-Sports;9 items). Of the 2 subscales, each question contains five answer choices ranging from low function (score of 0) to high function (score of 4). The maximum score possible for the HOS-ADL is 68. A high score indicates high function, and a low score indicates low function. The maximum score possible for the HOS-Sports is 36. A high score indicates high function, and a low score indicates low function. Scores for each subscale range from 0% (least function) to 100% (most function). Results can be interpreted with the following: \<70 = poor result; 70-80 = fair, 80-90 = good, and 90-100 = excellent.
