Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Physiotherapy treatment protocols described in the bibliography after hip surgery are most of them nonspecific. An experimental study is proposed to determine the effectiveness of a protocolized treatment of physiotherapy in the postoperative treatment of femoroacetabular impingement treated by arthroscopy. This study tries to adapt the non-specific post-surgical physiotherapy treatment protocols of the hip to the characteristics of the femoroacetabular impingement and its arthroscopic surgery.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

Application of a protocol of active exercises for recovery after arthroscopic hip surgery, adapted to the femoroacetabular shock characteristics.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physiotherapy post-surgical protocol for femoroacetabular impingement

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The intervention is structured in 14 weeks. Gradually the level of demand for the exercises increases over the weeks. Isometric and concentric exercises of the affected muscle groups are combined in the first weeks, as well as mobilization exercises of the joints involved in the injury. In addition, the time of permanence in a sitting, prone or supine position is prescribed. The return to the march and activities of daily life are staggered.

The number of series and repetitions to be performed is described in each exercise.

Control Group

Usual post-surgical general guidelines for hip interventions described by Gocen et al

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Having suffered hip / groin pain for at least 3 months.
* Be a patient diagnosed with femoroacetabular syndrome by an orthopedic surgeon based on symptoms, clinical signs and diagnostic imaging.
* To have signed the informed consent.
* Have time available to follow a 14-week physiotherapy treatment program.
* Be programmed for hip arthroscopy.
* Be able to speak and understand the Spanish language.
* Be between 18 and 50 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria

* To have received physiotherapy treatment in the last three months.
* Having previously received hip surgery.
* Subjects with previous deformities in the femur that severely alter joint mobility such as Perthes disease, gliding of the upper femoral epiphysis or avascular necrosis, acetabular fracture, hip dislocation or fracture of the femoral neck.
* Evidence of preexisting osteoarthritis, defined as Tonnis grade\> 2
* Subjects with previous deformities in the pelvis that severely alter joint mobility.
* Any other cardiovascular, psychological and / or cognitive diagnosed pathology that impedes the correct understanding of the study and prevents objective study variables.
* Subjects that are under the effects of anesthetics or muscle relaxants that mask the sensation of the patient before the techniques of the study.
* Professional athletes.
* Subjects in which hip arthroscopy is contraindicated.
